    Medium garlic parm wings
    Corrina Q.

    Great lil dive bar that doesn't smell like a dive bar. There are pool tables and FANTASTIC WINGS! Came with a couple of my friends for some picklebacks, a beer, and wings. Staff was really nice but our waitress was kind of slow and forgot to put in a few things we ordered. There was a shift change and our second waitress was much better. Very decently priced. If I'm ever in the area, I would definitely come back here. Vibes were great :)

    Atomic sauced, bone in wings. Extra crispy, extra wet, to go!

    Long story short, I lost a ton of weight ~25 years ago only eating 12 wings in a day, TOTAL, from Uncle Fats. After moving around to different places in that time, I always have wanted their wings again! Well, that time has come. And while a lot of things never taste the way you remember. THESE DID!!! I was so excited, and damn did I enjoy those wings! Sucks that I live so far away, I'd get them all the time. I guess it's a good thing though, as my only complaint is they are in the pricey side. I hate paying more than a $1 a wing. For 24 wings to go it was $36. But that was money well spent! So thank you for helping me lose weight all those years ago, and thanks for keeping them just as delicious as I remembered them.

    Fun times.

    We love this local spot! food is always great! They have GREAT FRIED CHICKEN WINGS AND SIDES LIKE FRIED MUSHROOMS, CURLY FRIES, and PICKLES!!! Our favorite local spot!! Service is a hot or miss but has mostly been on the better end. The ladies whom have worked there many years are awesome. The style of the restaurant is definitely more of local sports themed dive bar. It's usually pretty clean. We have been back a few times. I'd definitely recommend for sporting event seasons.

    Had great service. They were fast and very friendly. The food was amazing hamburgers were the way to go. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Ambiance was relaxed

Some reviews complained about staff but the gentleman who greeted me was engaging and friendly and ensured we had all the items we ordered before bagging it up for me. It is definitely strictly aimed at take out or delivery which is fine with us. We ordered one of their wing combo meal type things with 50 wings (enough to last through the weekend for the family) and it allows you to pick up to 5 flavors of sauces, two large sides and dip cups - slightly pricey but wings aren't cheap these days from any place. We picked 20 lemon pepper, 10 Asian orange, 10 garlic Parmesan, 10 habanero ranch Fries and corn were the sides picked. Overall my favorites were the Asian orange and the habanero ranch / hubby like the lemon pepper and habanero ranch as well - garlic parm was just ok. We will likely order there again in the future

    About 3.5 stars due to value to the food. This is a take out place without a restroom for…read morecustomers. I would order ahead and pick up and go. They do have option for your wing to be well done or not. Meaning fried longer. I got the lemon pepper and Cajun dry rub. The lemon pepper is too much lemon. However the Cajun is good balance. All wing is well done selection with crispy touching feeling. Pick up and web order is well established. Easy to use.

    I am so glad I came here again. I visited a Sunday evening. It was a bit crowded, but a sign said I…read morecould sit myself anywhere. So I sat in the bar. A bartender greeted me and gave me water. For my drink, I took the chocolate old fashioned (13 dollars). It was strong enough and chocolatly to enjoy. For my main plate, I chose the chicken wings (10 for 17 dollars), half fat rabbit sauce (quite garlicky) and other half siracha. While the wings were not breaded, they were still fried. It was definitely crispy, but still meaty and tender. The sauces were flavorful, and the siracha had the right amount of heat. The ranch dressing was homemade and so good, I ended up drinking it. There could have been more celery, but it was fresh and crispy. They only had one dessert, and unfortunately it wasn't homemade, so I passed. My bartender was friendly, but busy. She had a helper, but lots of patrons to serve. Yet, she was still very nice and helpful when needed. The vibe is social and casual. I would have thought they would have more USF students, but mostly locals who are enjoying a good atmosphere. Outdoor seating is available as well, and it looks like you can bring your pooch too. When it was time to check out and pay, I noticed they forgot to charge me for my drink. When I mentioned that, they told me not to worry about it. It was a very nice gesture from them. Parking here is easy as it is located in the Publix complex. There is also a Don Julio's and Bundt Cakes nearby for dessert too. The Fat Rabbit pub provides great casual bar food in a social atmosphere. The indoor dining is large enough to feel comfortable, and outdoor seating is also there if you want to enjoy with your dog. I am glad I chose this place again as it was near my hotel. Definitely coming back for more great bar food at reasonable prices. Overall: A
