Atmosphere is good looks like a local hot spot but the food is not great I’ve been there twice the first time me and my daughter ordered reubens and when it came out the meat was bad it smelled sour i didn’t realize till I was eating it that the meat was bad same with my daughter’s sandwich she released before me from the scent. the waitress was quick to try and find a solution by offering anything on the menu competed for the bad food after tasting the meat her self witch i was great full for and I was very happy with a order of wings to make up for it.

A few weeks later I was just looking to have a few drink after work on a Friday and a burger would be nice so I got a bacon blue burger when asked how I would like it cooked I said medium and when it came out it was far past well done and im not one to complain so I ate payed my tab and left.

I would go back for the local community aspects and drinks maybe wings but definitely wouldn’t suggest or go back for food.

I love to give a place a second chance and feel bad to leave this cuz I love a small local business but im also blunt and honest about my reviews

First time here by suggestion of a friend. Kinda dug the dark corner we sat in and the vibey alternative rock. Probably would go back for wings and a beer but wasn’t too impressed by my order. My favorite was James, the young waiter, who was very attentive and fun.
I ordered the teriyaki grilled wings and the drunken chicken sandwich. My friend ordered some coconut shrimp and a burger with an onion mushroom sauce.
Wings were great and tasted like right off the charcoal grill!! The coconut shrimp was ok. My friend didn’t like the over-doness. My sandwich was not so good. The bread was good. Not garlic-y tho. Very little vodka suace, with the name like drunken chicken- I’m thinking sloppy and saucy, and the chicken was not tasteful at all. Like just bread crumbs an no love. My friend’s burger looked like they had just opened a can of mushrooms and dumped it on the burger…. no onion mushroom sauce, and the bun was way too oversized for that lil frozen burger. Suffice it to say, it was taken off the bill! Thanks James!! I don’t know if whoever was cooking that day was angry…. or if they had a breakup but no love in the seasoning. Don’t live in that area so I can’t say I’d go out of my way to go back.

Had a very delicious meal last night. Service was excellent, the food came out quick and my sandwich really hit the spot. Lot of good options too. the atmosphere was very calm, warm, and comforting as a neighborhood restaurant should be. Driven past this place every day and glad I finally got to have a delicious meal there.

This was a favorite place when I was living in Howell. Been here dozens of times and never disappoints. Good food at a good price. Good size bar also. Family friendly.

Haven’t been here since I was a teen, which was decades ago. Thought I’d go back with my family, and I’m glad we did. Still how I remembered. Great atmosphere. Great friendly service. And the food was delicious. The nacho appetizer was real good. Def go back again soon. (Summer Shandy on tap as well!)

Awesome Restaurant! I have been going there for years. I love to sit at the bar and have a burger. They cook the burger right there behind the bar. Has that old school Tavern field? I’ve never been disappointed. Definitely put it on your bucket list.

Good food if you don’t mind a classic bar atmosphere. This is a well established bar and grill with a great selection of food and drinks on their menu. The staff all seem very friendly and everything was delicious! Some of the customers were a little unruly but hey, it’s a bar. Everything is as you would expect for a bar. Darker, lots of wood finishes etc.

Stopped at The Ivy League for lunch. It was not crowded but, it was a Monday. Easy and off entry via Route 9 North. A very large parking lot with ample handicapped parking with ramps. The lot is paved and with outside light poles. We were promptly greeted and seated with attentive service. Our waitress was friendly and answered all our question. We started with a Draft Bud lite and an Old Fashioned. Beer was cold, crisp and fresh to the taste while, the Old Fashioned was average in taste. Next, was the Parmesan Garlic Wings. This was a WINNER! The wings were fried but, dressed with a garlicky parmesan paste with a touch of parsely. The wings were cooked to perfection and not over fried. I would recommend trying them inside of the other traditional wing sauce. For our main entrees were the Bacon Turkey Avocado BLT. The sandwich was thick and fresh. This is a big sandwich. I had the fresh beef burger with with mushroom and onion sauce and I added the blue cheese topping. Both sandwiches came with delicious onion rings. Overall our lunch cost us $65.

Great bar, similar to Cheers in Boston.
Pro tip, sit at the bar and order food rather than at a table for a much better experience, especially since they cook the burgers and steaks right behind the bar. If you’re not sure if they’re cooking behind the bar,ask somebody it’ll be well worth it. All the bartenders and staff we interacted with were fantastic and they’ll be more than happy to help you. I live about an hour away but I may become a regular. I’ve been back several times already. I highly recommend going on a Monday for the New York strip night special or getting an Ivy League Burger anytime.
Is it Monday yet? ️

My husband and I stopped late at night after shopping and we were so happy to have found someplace to eat and it had delicious food. The meat was cooked perfectly in both our sandwiches and the bread was very good.
