    Biggest wings ever
    Bobbie M.

    The staff, the food, the prices = one of the best places to catch a football game. The owners is such a great guy, and the vibe is amazing. My husband is from Buffalo NY and he said this is like home away from home

    Cheeseburger Sliders
    Connor A.

    The fries were absolutely amazing cooked to perfection and seasoned well. The sliders were very dry, but wasn't expecting too much was very good with ranch and drinks were also good. Service was amazing and ambience was perfect for a sports bar.

    Chicken fingers
    Shelbie P.

    This place was nothing special, but we enjoyed our time here. We had some food and drinks before seeing a movie. It had your typical bar food. Our server was very friendly and checked on us regularly . The place is not that big, but it's convenient to the movie theater for a quick bite before a movie.

    This place has fantastic wings and fries. The owner is really friendly and has a great menu. It's the perfect sports bar. Clean, great menu options, and plenty TVs.

    The quesadilla was so delicious, I ordered another one for to-go. The waiter was quick and attentive. The atmosphere of this place is very open and chill. Good music and good vibes. I recommend this place to anyone who wants good food and a beer.

    We love this place not only for games, but midweek for trivia and to watch all sports. Bartenders and owners are great. Highly recommend!

    Lucky to get a table with a Bourbon Street style view on a mid-Friday afternoon, before the crowds…read moresettled in. We were sat right away and got our order in quickly. Trash can nachos are a 10/10 if you want gooey, everything mixed up in it nachos. This is what I want Nachos to always be! No beers on tap was a lil disappointing but I get it with the purpose of this bar... high volume, kick out of cans/bottles, beer pong, college crowd. If that's not your scene, still worth a stop in for a quick & easy lunch/early dinner with stellar people watching from the balcony.

Our server Sammy was awesome!!'! Lots of good energy and interaction! On point with orders and service. Food was pretty good! Good flavor, portions and value! Wings, salads, pastas all good. My frustration is with the rudeness and lack of training of their security and management team. Ok, so you are revolving to a club, inform your patrons POLITELY! That they will need to give up their table because they become VIP or whatever BS. But KNOW your customers and read the client! Especially when they just brought a party of about 20 and the remaining few were continually buying drinks and tipping far beyond reasonable. I will be honest, I would not visit this location again. But I will encourage others to check it out.

Going on "Taco Tuesday", the tacos tasted great and were a good value. No complains about the beans or rice either. I was plenty full with three tacos and the two sides. Staff was nice enough, but not very attentive, I had to flag down for refills and my check. You seat yourself from whichever door you enter. I can't speak for parking, but it looked very limited.

First impression wasn't great because there were no tables, and it was a seat yourself situation. So we found a table but then had to clean it off ourselves. Still sat there a good 20 mins before we were acknowledged. Again they were swamped. Service was a whole lot better once the crowd died down. We love the nachos. And I love the crunchy tacos. Today we tried the loaded waffle fries because we saw someone else ordering. They were good but we totally prefer the nachos. Best nachos I've had in the valley Had to add the cookie skillet! Could decide on the dessert so asked if we could have some churro on it. It was bomb! Few weeks later: lol still thinking about how my husband tipped 35-45% because our waitress sobbed to him how she hadn't really been tipped all day. I don't know....... We are naturally good tippers, like always 20% bare minimum and if service exceptional we tip higher. But we had 3 tickets (stayed awhile and kept ordering another round of drinks) and he felt bad and obligated to tip more. Don't get me wrong...... we really loved our server and our service but this "guilt trip" frustrates me. It's like we made up for everyone prior for not tipping. Seems unprofessional to share that with your customer.

We choose to sit indoors. The restaurant is very cozy with dimmed lighting to add to the evening ambiance. It has a casual feel but you can dress up or down. Some people were casual and some more dressed up. We were seated at the front by the stage where live music was about to start. I thought this would be nice since I do enjoy live music. Well the speakers were facing right at our table and it was noticeably loud when the entertainer began to play. We asked for another table. We could not hear ourselves talking. I ordered a cocktail, The Giddy Up Espresso Martini. That was very delicious! They do have a full bar, it's nice to have choices as far as alcoholic beverages. Our food, Fish & Chips, BBQ Nachos, Aged Manchego, Crusty Bread Garlic Oil & Balsamic, and Molinari Sopressata. Everything was absolutely delicious! The fries with the Fish were perfect. My favorite besides the Martini. was the Crusty Bread with Olive Oil and Balsamic. Our server was the best! Amiriya made sure our drinks stayed filled and asked us what we thought about the food. Even on this busy night. After our meal we walked around the outside seating and game area. This place is a fun place to meet with others especially with the outdoor/patio game area. I would love to come back when in AZ.. But, I don't have to wait until then because we have a CD restaurant in the San Diego area! Woohoo! I can't wait to try some other dishes and have another Espresso Martini. I probably would pay for a shot of Bailey's added to the drink. Restaurant parking is busy but they do have additional parking just across the way. It happened to be busy because we were up against Valentine's Day weekend.

My husband ordered the club sandwich which he thoroughly enjoyed. Our son ordered a pasta dish which he loved.

We got the s'mores pizookie for dessert and I really enjoyed it. It's baked to order so it takes a little bit but I thought it was worth it. And if that's not your thing, Menchies is right next door and always a treat. Tons of games and such and they even had trivia on the TV. Just a really great neighbourhood spot!
