Came here for the first time and I ordered the chicken strips. They were freshly battered and good and crispy. The coleslaw was good, the fries tasted a little old. The tiny honey mustard was filled half way. All in all the food was great for everyone but the service could’ve been better.

My husband and I enjoyed our dinners when we ate here. We got the pretzels as an appetizer and they were delicious but I do suggest asking for a side of honey mustard to eat with them as it’s very good. My husband liked his ribs and my fish and chips were okay. Service was great!

Our server was Marcus, and this man was not only extremely courteous, but he was very on top of making sure we had everything we needed and then some. This man deserves a raise. I would rate his service higher if I could.

Left the house late for date night and decided to visit a “safe” restaurant that was open past 10pm. Unfortunately, we landed at this one.
I’ve had the fish and chips here before and it was pretty good, so I ordered it again because they’re charging $17 for 10 bone-in wings, which is outrageous and a blatant exploitation of the current economic situation — which does not involve a 100% increase on wholesale chicken prices.
Anyway, don’t go here. They forgot my husband’s broccoli and unironically brought this half-dead bowl of florets without a speck of seasoning at the very last minute. The $15 fish sticks parading as fish&chips are nasty inside and out; you’re better off buying Van de Camp’s beer battered fish for $5.50 at Walmart and you’ll get more of them. The coleslaw is also pretty gross, somehow flavorless and a weird texture. They’ve gone down the stupid hole and aren’t going to come up.

Went for the first time for all you can eat wings. They were running a special they were $12.99. Our server Savannah was fantastic. Kept us filled up on refills and filling drinks. Wish I would’ve got pictures of all the wings but messy hands. My favorite flavor was the Arizona very good and unique. Only complaint would be the ranch is just a pull off container and not house made. Will definitely be back even at the price of $17.99 which I think is normal is a good deal. All the wings were hot, fresh, and good sized.

I can honestly state that without hesitation, this is the worst food I’ve eaten in years. I got smothered steak and couldn’t eat it. Was worst steak I have eaten in my entire life and I’ve eaten in 3rd world countries. The special bourbon baked beans tasted exactly like Bush’s baked beans. I am not exaggerating when i tell you the taste and texture were identical to canned beans. The kids got the kids’ cheeseburger and asked if they had to eat it. They will literally eat anything. They described it to a horrible school burger. I tasted it and it was just frozen patty, but the aftertaste made me almost vomit. Everything had a dirty burnt plastic flavor except the salad, and we had to eat it like lettuce and dip. I mean, our server was so bad he didn’t even give us silverware, so we dipped our lettuce in the small container of ranch. After asking more than once for silverware, he finally brought it, but by then, we had almost finished our salad. The water even tasted dirty. The only good thing I can say and I do mean only good thing is the decor was nice. Other than that in my 45 years on this planet and over 25 countries I traveled to and countless MRE’s this place made the top 3 worst places i have ever eaten and the worst steak tips I have ever had to endure. I am not trying to be rude. This was our actual experience. How they got 4.3 stars astonishes me unless we just hit the worst night they’ve had.

The ambiance was unique with racing memorabilia, and the seating on the bar side had a casual, cafeteria-style arrangement. The menu offered a good selection of classic bar food – burgers, nachos, wings, etc., without being overwhelming.
The service was a highlight, with Darren, a 14-year server, providing attentive and friendly service without being pushy. As for the food, I tried two flavors of wings. They were good, crispy as ordered, with a nice level of heat, though not in my top 5 favorites.
While the wings were enjoyable, the pricing felt a bit steep compared to other wing places. Overall, I’d consider returning, especially if there’s a deal or I’m nearby and in the mood for some decent wings at a premium price. If that sounds right for you, this place is worth checking out.

Fun place to visit if you’re a race car fan – or for families or big groups. The menu has multiple options for everyone – we had Asian bowls and chicken breast entree and both were tasty! Would recommend and would come again!

We stopped here because when we travel, we look for the Non chain. Didn’t realize there was a whole bunch of these around the Midwest. And the SEC but super glad that we did stumbled upon this. Super fun environment. So many layers of cleverness, both of the decor and the menu. Whoever came up with this concept, I am almost positive, has ADHD and I love it. Our server kept our drinks full and the wet Naps came out warm. Which was a nice bonus. Then flavor choices were creative and unique with the classics there for the non-adventurer. I had the Ohio barbecue which I still can’t figure out what they put in that thing. I will stop again!

I was looking forward to eating here, due to the decent reviews. I live 2 hours away, and decided after a long week of working, I would treat myself. Arrived around 530pm, in hopes to beat the dinner rush. Place wasn’t very busy and you could see that both sides of the restaurant had planty of open tables & booths. When checking in at the desk, was told it would be about 15 min, so gave my name & was put on the “wait list”.
Again, looking around, couldn’t figure out why there was even a wait, so not sure if short staffed or what. There were plenty of people waiting as well, and more kept piling in. The front wait area is very small, with nowhere to sit, so pretty much just had to stand in front of video game machines etc, inside the front door. We heard one host tell people they could sit at the bar if they didn’t want to wait for a table, but seemed it was hit & miss who they gave that option.
It was closer to 25-30 minutes before my friend and I were finally seated. When we followed the host to a booth, we passed by maybe 10 people seated already in the large section/room with cars & motorcycles. So again, only reason for such a long wait that I could see, what short on staff.
Waiter we had was very good and attentive, anc checked on us regularly. Menu was fairly small for such a popular place and prices were on the higher end, in my opinion. It was mostly burgers with a few meal choices. Food was actually delivered quickly, which was surprisng. I had the Philly cheese steak and it was just ok. I thought it had kind of a weird taste, but wasn’t aweful. Friend had shrimp & said they were okay, but coleslaw wasn’t good at all.
This restaurant is such a neat place with it’s motorhead themed decorations. It was neat to see all of the cars/motorcycles and various items around the building, whether hanging or mounted to the wall. Lots of cool things to look at for sure. But with lack of organization for check-in, wait times, prices and taste of the food, I doubt I would go back. Too many other options out there, especially if driving 2 hours. Such a shame…☹️
