Our waitress was really nice. I did the Baked Goods cocktail and they did the Old Fashioned cocktail, all was really good. For food, I did the BLT with fries, my sister did the hot dog, and my friend did the Nasty biscuit. It was all so good! We even got the 7 layer chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert which was really rich but good. They had a live band which was cool playing smooth jazz.

The ambiance reminds me of the prohibition era as it is located in the basement of Tavern & Grocery. My husband and I met up with some of his co-workers and they had a 6 top table to accommodate our group. Service was also excellent this second visit. I had the Dilly Dally and the Roses Really Smell Like cocktails while my husband tried the Lemon Meringue Flip. For dinner we had the roasted cauliflower and pan seared cod fish. The roasted cauliflower had a nice flavor profile with shiitake mushrooms and castelvetrano olives. We were too full for dessert, but we will return.

The place was packed in the main room, though there's a separate room that they opened up. The staff was friendly and cleared tables promptly to help us find a spot to sit. I believe there were some food options, though we did not order any. We did an old fashioned and a bar tenders choice. Not sure what it was, but it was delicious!! It's dark and moody, with lots of candles. I believe you can also enter through the back. Restroom was very gross... but other than that, a great experience. We were just passing through, but I would absolutely recommend and go back.

I love on nice days when they open up the big glass windows and there's so much "outdoor" seating. Downstairs bathrooms are fairly clean but don't venture upstairs. At night, Trin 3 (third floor) can get packed and sometimes you can get to the DJ booth but usually not. Waiters during the day are super chill too. Would recommend for their Happy Hour 12-4 for half off spin dip and other appetizers. Drink deals too. Dogs are allowed!!!

Once we ordered our drinks and ordered our appetizer, we realized that the menu had changed from only hours before. Though only two replacement items replaced what we thought would be "house dishes", we ordered accordingly and waited 35+ minutes for the food. Once our entrees were served, my girlfriend's chicken in place of duck was unseasoned and bland. The Cassoulet I ordered featured undercooked beans and maybe three pieces of chewy and rubbery sausage. As a place heralded for their cocktails and cuisine, we were both grossly underwhelmed and disappointed by the service and food. The atmosphere could work as an upscale cocktail lounge, but the food was abysmal. Wouldn't recommend this spot at all.

We even went together probably almost ten years ago and loved it! So we were in the area tonight and decided, of course, to hit up Boylan Heights for dinner, remembering it as fondly as we did. But I ended up...really disappointed by this visit. First of all, it was super busy, very crowded, and very loud - that's kinda to be expected out of a college sports bar though. The servers were all doing their best, and everybody was really nice! But then I ordered one of their pre-mixed drinks from the bar, and had to end up asking after it about 20 minutes later when it hadn't made it to my table. I was told it got lost in the mix of everything, which I do understand because as I mentioned before, it was busy. So I just said that's cool, I don't need it, I'll just have a root beer instead. 10 minutes later and the server comes to the table with lightly-tinted soda water, very apologetically telling me that's what's coming out and they need to change the bag. I'm autistic and overstimulated at this point so I just say no, water is fine. And that was a little ehh, but the food was absolutely the most disappointing part of this experience. I ordered a burger with bacon and cheese and their curly fries on the side...the fries were barely warm, and not a single element of the burger was seasoned. It was offensively bland, and on top of that, the bacon was floppy. Burger was undercooked as well (menu says they're cooked to medium well, it was about medium rare). I took 2 bites and was totally done. It's really a shame because you can tell the quality of the ingredients is good, but the execution was just kind of embarrassing. Like...salt and pepper the meat at least, please, c'mon. The milkshake was pretty good, though. This place is an institution, but I think it's leaning a little too hard on that reputation and has let the quality of its food slip.

They gave us menus and scantron-like menus to circle in the build-your-own burgers & bowls. That was pretty cool. I chose my chicken sandwich and gave it to the waitress. My sister ordered the boozy milkshake and my niece ordered a regular one. They really liked them! My chicken sandwich was so good! I got the curly fries with it and they were super delish too. My sister got loaded tots which were sooo good. I only with they had pickled jalapeño for them instead of fresh. The fresh were just too much (& I love spice). All in all - solid place to eat!

Rolled and deep-fried into savory balls of heaven) next best, while I found it to be a little dry and Taki-crumbles overtook the taste. Still good! -The Meji Glizzy (12″ Beef hotdog wrapped in jalapeno and bacon on a bun with mayo, slaw, cheese, onion, cilantro, guajillo sauce, avocado, caramelized onion, and potato straws) was a delicious take on a hot dog, if a little messy. -The Ranch Waters were light and refreshing, as they should be.
