This is my bar and there's a very special reason for this review. This bar has been in existence…read moreunder the Tap Room name since 2009 and it's always been a smoking bar. I'm a non-smoker but I tolerated it because I enjoyed the people and the other aspects of the atmosphere. After 15 years, as of January 1st, the Tap Room is now NON-SMOKING! My lungs are very happy! Management is taking steps to remove as much of the odor as they can. Other than this big news, this is your typical dive bar- * Cheap drinks * TouchTunes Jukebox * Pool tables and dart boards * Occasional live entertainment * No food other than packaged snacks Pro Tip- They have a back entrance with easy parking. It's not fancy but it's used more than the front door! Note that the parking lot is a disaster and needs to be repaved. Drive in slowly! Atmosphere- Like many dive bars, the crowd varies from day to night. The crowd is older and more sedate during the day and younger and a bit rowdier at night. The TouchTunes jukebox is extremely popular here with many folks using the app on their phones. Genres played are mostly Classic Rock and Country with a little Pop occasionally thrown in. The bar is very large and is a bit unusual as there are both low and high chairs in different sections. Note that many of the low chairs desperately need to be replaced so choose carefully where you sit your thirsty ass down! Adult Libations- The big joke is the Tap Room has no taps! That's right, no drafts here but plenty of mostly domestic bottles and a full liquor bar. Bartenders- This place has 5 bartenders plus an excellent manager that often tends bar. The bartender's range in age from 30s to 70s. They are generally decent with some more conversational than others. Now that's NON-SMOKING, I'd love to give it 5 stars but the parking lot and the collection of crappy chairs hold me at 4!

The price is high for the quality of food being pushed out of the kitchen but if you want great entertainment, watch a game and have a beer this is the place to be. This last time we order "the special" Bourbon BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos... there was absolutely nothing special about them. It was some meat thrown on some chip. Do not recommend it. Very disappointing.

The service stands out with friendly, attentive staff who handle orders quickly and provide generous refills, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience from start to finish. The atmosphere captures that cozy small-town Florida charm, complete with plenty of TVs for catching games, striking a great balance for families or sports enthusiasts without feeling overwhelming. Food highlights include the rich, hearty chili that was so good I ordered a second bowl which was perfect for post-race recovery. The wings were impressive with their crispy texture and delicious barbecue or hot sauces for dipping, while the burger arrived cooked perfectly medium--juicy and satisfying, hitting the spot just right. Non-alcoholic Blue Moon options provided a spot-on beer taste without the alcohol, perfect for athletes or designated drivers, and the sweet potato fries delivered crispy, flavorful perfection that kept the meal on point from beginning to end. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered, turning this visit into a new tradition--definitely planning to return next year for the unbeatable combo of vibe, service, and food.

Good chance of live music or some event, for sure!*checks facebook for schedule* There is an entire menu that always looks good, but I have to admit I have only tried 3-4 items that I return to repeatedly every visit, since they are so fantastically done. Solid 10/10 must have is the Dock Onion, the overized whole giant onion with well done onion petals, with the perfect house dipping sauce. The Dock cheeseburger is always exactly how I order it, substantial but still leaves room for apps and dessert. Sitting outside is nice, but can get a bit wet on the rainest of days. Always had terrific servers with numerous refills on the tea. Keep up the good work!

As for the ambiance it needs work. We had issues walking through the restaurant trying to even see if there were any seating. It's a very small space and needs reworked so you have space to walk. And servers need to pay attention to people walking in the door.

The food is really good. especially since it's a bar restaurant I highly suggest getting the wings or burgers. And even though I love this restaurant, I do suggest staying away from the fish.

-- My craving was satiated! -…read more Cowboy Steak Salad popped into my brain and the craving was so strong I jumped into my car and drove the11 miles to this place. Here is what happened- The Chain- Based in Tampa, there are around 140 locations with the majority in Florida. They can be either franchised or corporately owned. They tend to use existing spaces so the interiors can vary quite a bit. Over the years, I think I've been to four of them. Arriving- This one is on the northbound side of US Route 27. It's in a plaza fronted by the local MickyD's. Just look for the golden arches. Plenty of easy parking. Pro Tip- If you are a Yelp Check In person you'll frown. The address is screwed up and maps about 5 miles away so no Check In! Ambience- These guys bill themselves as a Family Sports Restaurant and that's about right. Zillions of TVs! You'll be surprised how small it is. The u-shaped bar seats about 15. Booths around the edges and mostly high tops in the middle. There is nothing unique about it. It's clean & neat and otherwise unremarkable. Adult Libations- Full bar with maybe ten taps and lots of bottles. Not a fancy craft beer place. You'll have seen the selection many times. I ordered a pint of Goose Island IPA @ $6.50 but it was 2 for 1 so not only tasty but a great deal. Wi-Fi- Kind of a mess and needs work. There are four or five unsecured obvious listings, but they either had no internet or required registration which I'll never do. Fortunately, Xfinity had a strong local hotspot, so I was good to go. The App- Solid with great reviews! If you are ordering to-go or delivery, the app is a must. Customer Service- I sat at the bar, and my bartender was wonderful. Five stars and absolutely no complaints! Food- Giant, giant menu. They try to satisfy everyone. That rarely works but they give it a great try. It's American comfort and bar food and you've seen variations of it a million times before. I ordered my Cowboy Steak Salad @ $16,99 and specified medium rare. It comes with blue cheese dressing, but I subbed ranch with no problems. It came out exactly as I was craving. My steak was tender, sliced nicely and cooked perfectly. In addition to the greens, my salad included roasted corn, diced tomatoes, bacon crumbles, onion crisps and shredded jack cheese. All I can say is yum! Conclusion- So the place is nothing fancy or particularly original, but it was clean with a great bartender, very good entrée salad at a competitive price. It gets a solid three stars from me!

I am giving it a one star only because of last night's performance from the staff. We went there to watch the Super Bowl. If when we got there as we were sitting at the bar talking about the Super Bowl talking about waiting for Bad Bunny to come on they at that point should've told us that they were not going to be having Bad Bunny but the alternate Turning Point to be televised. They didn't and it ended up having me to cause a scene now I should not have because I'm old enough to know better however they should've known better to have announced it beforehand. Would that being said I will not be back to their establishment.

- The iconic Slaw Burger survived! -…read more This is the sister location of the Blue Lagoon Saloon down in Sebring. Hence the similar name. The previous owners were famous state-wide for their Slaw Burgers! Folks drove 100 miles to buy them! They literally sold them for decades. The new owners insured it lives on! Arriving- Teeny tiny Frostproof is a straight shot, about 5 miles, off US Route 27. You end up on Main Street where these guys are located. Free street parking and more free parking around the side. Ambience- A beautiful remodel with lots of wood. A long straight bar with comfortable stools with backs. A just the right height, tiled foot railing makes for a comfortable bar experience. Behind the bar is mounted a long line of huge TVs for your viewing pleasure. It's an awesome place to watch a game! See my picture. Of course there are also tables, booths, and even pool tables. TouchTunes & Wi-Fi- I recommend the App for using the juke box. In this part of Florida, you can expect a lot of classic rock and country. You need a password for the Wi-Fi and its typical retail speed. Adult Libations- Full bar plus 12 taps. I enjoyed a Space Dust IPA. It was 8.2% APV, ice cold and delicious. Customer Service- Five stars! I enjoyed a great bartender/server that was friendly and efficient. Food- American bar & casual food. Lots of fried food and a great variety of sandwiches. I went with the iconic Slaw Burger & Fries along with my IPA and it was $18 pre-tip. It came out quickly, piping hot and with unique plating. Juicy and savory with the added snap of the slaw. Add nicely cooked fries and it was a superior lunch. Conclusion- If you are traveling through Highlands County, divert here for a great lunch or dinner. Highly recommended if you're watching a sporting event!

The bar is pushed back in a line of businesses which offers a more parking spaces out front. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There are lots of TVs and even a projection TV for your fav games. The place offers high tops, regular seating and bar seating inside. When we entered late afternoon, it was busy. Mostly older folks enjoying the food and drinks- watching the game. We found two spots at the bar and the bartender was quick to get to us. We each ordered name brand vodka drinks. They were tasty and 2 for 1. Wow! Even better. As we sat, the place got busier and the bartender, Danielle, handled her duties with ease. Drinks didn't sit empty on her watch. She was attentive and friendly. Offering a smile and a suggestion if asked. After a couple drinks we ordered some food. I ordered the chicken rice bowl, and my husband got medium wings with breading. The chicken wings were big and tender, the medium sauce was perfect heat, and very tasty. Awesome!! my husband said. And 80 cents each- wow! Again. My blackened chicken bowl was very good. Moist chicken bites with great flavor. It was hot ( temperature not flavor). Every bite like you just took it off the stove at home. One suggestion would be to add a bit more peppers and onions to the dish. They were lost in the rice and beans. Overall- delicious. I couldn't eat it all but wanted to. I was teasing my husband that since we are new to town, we need to check out lots of others places and he smiled that smile. Looks like we found his favorite bar. Chubbyz is going to be hard to beat. We will be back again and again- I'm sure. Great prices- delicious food, and Danielle serves up some awesome drinks!
