Baker's has been a solid lunch spot for me recently. The staff is always friendly, especially the…read morebartender who always takes great care of us. It's the typical sports bar vibe. Got plenty of TV's to watch the games on and got a few arcade machines if that's your thing. The food is always solid. Whether it's the Lemon Pepper Wings (not pictured) or their Beef Philly all the way , it's always made fresh and seasoned perfectly. If you're looking for aesthetics, this isn't your place, however if you're looking for a "Cheers" type vibe where folks know your name and you can get some great food, this is your spot.

This was my first time at Baker's. I met some friends here. At first I was a little hesitant to eat…read morehere but my friend reassured me that the food was actually good. I was still like "we'll see about that". Parking wasn't too bad. Being that it's on the perimeter of Columbia Mall or what was Columbia Mall, there's parking surrounding the business. It wasn't too packed which was great. We walked in and sat ourselves at a table. The waitress came over and greeted us within a few minutes. I believe they have happy hour in the price of $3 for their house liquors. The drinks are made well. The menu had a bit of a variety and it was hard for me to choose what I wanted because everything seemed like it would be tasty. After placing an order, the salads came out within 10-15 minutes, then the appetizer and right after the entrées. The food was hot. I ordered the egg rolls and the sweet and spicy wings. I wish the appetizer, which were the egg rolls, would have came out sooner as they were warm than hot, but they were good and came with a specialty sauce. It had a light kick but was tasty. The wings were good and hot. The sweet and spicy sauce had a good taste. I wish they were crispier as I requested. The fries were so good! Hot and seasoned well. The salads looked great as well but I did not have those. Their chicken club sandwich looked good as well and my sister said it was delicious!

But when we arrived at 4 for happy hour I think the staff was just getting there too. Our waitress did what she could, but in her defense I'd probably be pissed too if I had to provide service before I've even had a chance to lollygag with my work friends before I actually start working. I don't have words for the spinach dip. Apparently it tastes fine (not my order, but in our party). I'm just not sure what the top cheese was doing. I won't write them off. I might grab an order of wings to go or something.

Today I liked the service of my chef who covered for the waiter. Burger cooked nice and medium juicy. Also order"half n half" onion rings and fries. With unsweetened tea. The burger was nice except wish the bun was toasted as it was cold. The fries were nice hot crispy. However the onion rings were soggy and greasy today. Sigh. Wasn't busy either. Hmm.

The fries are house cut. They tasted great but we're a little greasy. If you want a good meal with a good atmosphere, check them out. This is a great date night location.
