We are visiting family and wanted to hang at a good sports bar for a couple of hours to catch the kickoff of the conference championship games. We have a 2 year old that is fascinated with the bank of video games and it allows us to spend time there before his boredom kicks in. Our server was fantastic and everyone really enjoyed their sandwiches and bowls. Good prices on cold beer and they have specials on both food and drinks most days of the week. We really enjoyed visiting and look forward to returning on our next trip to the area.

Monday’s and Wings go so great together..
Keep them coming because they are All You Can Eat !
Yep grilled (is my favorite) or fried, lots of flavors and all you want!
We came in late so beware, service seemed to drop off a bit as the time passed 10 pm… (understandable to an extent).
It’s a bar restaurant so keep that in mind too for that kind of atmosphere.
Really cool music coming through the pipes was a bonus though.
We also had an order of their
Alligator tail bites, and they were very tasty, nice & tender, and arrived hot ( always happy when the food is served hot)…

Had Mattie for a server, She not only ran the bar, But she a table top of 15 women and held down the Fort. Service was awesome and Mattie did not lose a beat. I recommend to come enjoy the family feeling here. Thanks Mattie.

Elizabeth, our server was excellent, and the only good in this experience. The food and the margarita were a disappointment. The drink tasted like kool-aid. No alcohol at all. First and last time.

Whatever restaurant, dead at lunchtime. But it’s local, and my brother and I wanted some wings. So here we go. The chef thinks mild sauce (buffalo) belongs in garlic parm… We order 25 boneless garlic parms and they literally come out orange. Amber was nice. The manager says that bc there’s garlic and parm bits, that it’s the same thing. After our refund, he comes back out to talk about how the kitchen makes it. I am NOT trying to argue about wing sauces, but it’s not rocket science. Not the same thing. My brother has special needs and dietary sensitivities and wants me to leave a more “stern” review. Well, we didn’t want literal buffalo. You think half garlic butter is going to balance the buffalo taste?? I’m not a reviewer, and they gave the refund no problem (I feel terrible throwing away food), but yeah be ready to know and argue ab your sauces. The guy was SO firm that I would’ve probably eaten the wings if my bro hadn’t been there. It was good for buffalo, but don’t fight me on it lol. To the googlers, order your wings naked, and bring your own sauce. Not worth the pushback on a Saturday afternoon. To that guy, it’s not personal. Jesus loves you. To the chef, pls do a google search ab wing sauces.

Server Sydney was efficient and attentive. Food was good, others in my group also thought the same. Downfall was when the check came and their printed tip ‘suggestions’ were so FALSE, really did not sit well with me. On my check total of 24.05 (tax included) their 18% amount was $5.68. That is actually 23.5%, their 20% and 25% (their amount $7.88, reality $6.01) suggestions are also way off. I’m all for tipping well for good service but ripping guests off (most people are too busy talking to pay attention) by putting deceptive information on checks is just plain WRONG.

A pretty decent place to grab a bite if not crowded. If crowded with large groups, it’s loud and can be slow service.

Tonight was a light crowd with a large group just starting to arrive. We were sat very quickly and far away from the large group. Our waitress Kristin got to us quickly and took our drink orders and asked if we had questions.

We ordered the Island Fresh Tacos and the boneless Wings with Chipotle Honey BBQ. The food was prepared quickly and arrive hot. The Tacos were spicy and pretty good, the chips that came with them were tasty but a bit too salty at times. Seems they are not consistently salted. The boneless wings were just OK. The flavor was not what I would expect for Chipotle Honey BBQ. Not sure I tasted any of those flavors, maybe a little Chipotle, just wasn’t on target for the description. They do have a large selection of flavors so will have to try a different one next time. The meat itself was a little chewy.

Our drinks were just water with lemon but when we got refills (they bring new glasses) no lemon was included.

The cost was good for what you got. Their POS calculated suggested tips on the full amount after tax and not the proper before tax method. However, their check does state that method so just be aware.

UPDATE:

Not taking any stars off or adding any, just letting everyone know that it appears Thursday night is music bingo night. Great if you want to play. If you want to enjoy your meal and talk, this is not the time to go! Music DJ plays it way too loud and the speaker distorts. We were asked if we were playing when we got there and we said no. They sat us right near one of the speakers

The food was pretty decent. I’d be curious to know which award these “award winning” wings won. They were below average, and could have been fried a bit more. A good example of “award winning wings” includes J Timothy’s in Connecticut, which are far more meaty & are double-fried. The gator bites were good, and better than what I had in Kissimmee. The combo platter and the spinach and artichoke dip were the best options, and my party enjoyed them. The cocktail/spirit selection is good. The beer section is mediocre. Our server, Hannah, was very nice. The host was a bit awkward but not rude. Would I come back? Perhaps.
