Great service, the food came out within about 15 minutes of ordering. No one was sitting at the seated area, everyone was at the bar and we visited on a Saturday night sometime around 8pm.
Our bartender was very friendly and made us great drinks. I never got his name but the entire staff seemed to get along which is nice.
We got the jalapeño poppers and their loaded fries with brisket. Their fries were fabulous, the brisket was perfect, but the jalapeño poppers were old. You can tell they had been sitting out for a while before we got them. That’s the only reason I took off a star, everything else was amazing.
We got a jack and coke as well as espresso martini. Drinks were great and the espresso martini was fabulous as well. I will visit again. ❤️

I’ve got mixed feelings on this place. The bartender sat us at our table and wasn’t super friendly. However, when the waitress took over, she was super nice. The brisket sandwich was awesome, and I’d recommend it to anyone. My wife and son had different wraps, and neither was very good. The restaurant was clean, and the service ended up being good. Its definitely more of a sports bar feel, so it might be a place for bar food and beer.

We’d been to this location years ago when it was another restaurant and the upgrade alone in here is awesome. Definitely liked the vibe. Great bar area, nice pool table with good mix of booth and high top seating options. This parking lot is bit of a cluster and with the nearby apartments and such can be hard to find parking, but this time was no issue. When we walked in there were a few other patrons eating, but the hostess station was empty and there was a sign telling us to wait to be seated. It took quite a few moments before we saw an employee. I think when slower like this maybe seating yourself with menus at the table might help to detour impatient people and allow some time to look over the menu in my opinion of course. Once seated our server took our drink order while we tried to decide what to eat. We’d originally been looking for somewhere with a club sandwich etc, but we realized quickly the menu here is quite different from your typical bar/grill. There was a menu for happy hour offering more norms such as nachos, pretzels etc but strictly between 3-6. They definitely have their own spin on everything here. I’m more open to try new things than my husband, but he said he was willing to try. We agreed on the fried chicken sliders with waffle fries. I wanted to try a burger but wasn’t hungry enough. While the burger with Alfredo sauce sounded interested I was a bit nervous to try it. Again, however I find that things that sound weird can be delicious. We’ll definitely have to come back to try some other things and update our review then. Our food came out quick, looked great and she brought us extra plates. Service slowed down from there but she still did check on us. I love, love , love local spots and I hope Breakaway does well. Our sliders were actually delicious. The sauce on them was good and not too much. I liked the added pickle slice on top. Waffle fries were crisp. We left full, but not overly and we split 1 and 1/2 sliders each. Good stop for drinks etc. with a chill vibe. My only other possible recommendation is maybe add a few more basics for that picky kid/family member so we people can come together and enjoy a meal here.

I truly hope my server gets to see this. I didn’t get her name – which is probably complaint #1, y’all should introduce yourselves to your tables. But that’s besides the point. I came in with my toddler and husband, on a Friday, after a very long week. The food was mediocre. It wasn’t gross, but I probably won’t eat there again. It was just okay. I had to wait awhile to cash out – it was karaoke night so we had to bounce as soon as the music got too loud for my autistic daughter. We had her headphones, so she was fine, but we still needed to get out of there before things got too overwhelming. That’s the only reason I wasn’t more patient than I usually am. So anyway, it was just getting busy as we wanted to leave. I asked for a to-go soda and a box, never got my soda, and sat for about 10 minutes before I sent my husband and daughter to the car while I tried to cash out. After another 5 minutes or so, I decided to go to the hostess stand to try and speed up the process. My server was mortified, and literally shaking, as she apologized for the inconvenience. And I’m just writing all of this to let her know, you were fine! Your service was good, aside from the lack of introduction. And we had a fine experience. Please don’t ever let a dissatisfied customer get you that upset – sometimes we’re in a mood and it is completely unrelated to our experience! You did a good job, and were very friendly and kind. Young lady with long dark hair, and glasses, in an oversized hoodie. I hope your night got much better after I left. You’re a good server, and I do apologize if my demeanor made you feel otherwise. I hope you read this and feel good about yourself, bc there was no good reason not to. thank you for your friendly service.

Lots to unpack here. Hang in there friends. I’ll start with the positives. The food was great! We shared the Frankie’s sandwich and the buffalo wings, we thought it was great and no complaints there at all. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Our server was great, the host was great. Host even came around several times to check on us when the server was busy which shows great team work and that’s how it should be. They were playing country music the whole time. Awesome! Cold beers.
Ok let’s get to the negatives. This place is extremely overpriced. A sandwich for $25 is kind of insane. Even just a side order of waffle fries… $12! We have been trying this establishment since it was N’Dubs, they were also overpriced. Second place Elixir, also overpriced and didn’t last long. You’d think the newest tenants would maybe put these things together.
We were offered beers at 16oz or 22oz. We ordered 22oz. They are most definitely NOT 22oz beers. Please see attached photos. They are 18oz beers. And if that’s what you serve in your restaurant, great! But be honest about that and have appropriate pricing. The aluminum cup is supposedly 22oz. We ordered the 16oz second round to compare.
From the menu only we could tell they are trying to have a baseball themed establishment. Great, makes sense with the ballparks right here. But other than the menus you’d never know. They kept the interior exactly the same from previous Elixir which is kind of strange and doesn’t fit. At the minimum maybe have the bottle mural changed to something baseball?
Music was too quiet. Turn it up a little. Doesn’t have to be obnoxiously loud, but I would love to not hear every word spoken of the table next to me and feel like I have to talk quiet to not be overheard.
Speaking over overheard, the table sat behind us, overheard them saying “wow, this place is pricey”.
This place has potential for sure. Hopefully the owners realize that before it’s too late and make some changes.
It could be a great spot.
My husband and I were just giggling because we recently ate at Coopers Hawk and he said this place is more expensive than Coopers Hawk which is fine dining steakhouse. So we looked it up, and yes it most definitely is! Check for yourselves!

Went in for lunch pre grand opening. Vibe was still great and the food… I don’t know if I have the words. Best sweet potato fries I have ever had. The Sweet Death by Cheese burger was incredible! Great mix of flavors and burger was done perfectly!

First time here. It was very slow, only about 4 tables. We stood at the please wait to be seated for about 5 minutes with nobody even looking at us. Finally someone says we can just sit anywhere. 5 minutes later, a server stops by. I order a salad and my wife the thai shrimp wrap along with the vampire bread as an appetizer. All food delivered at the same time. The vampire bread said marinara sauce, but I have a picture of some sludge that clearly had been sitting in a pot for hours served. Look, the wrap had 4 pieces of shrimp and my salad was small, as shown. It’s just not the place for us.

My husband and I went here for lunch, the food was great! Service was amazing. He had the spicy chicken wrap and ate it so fast I couldn’t get a picture. I hate the green goddess wrap which was delicious and full of flavor.
You have to add fries or salad for an additional price, so the menu seems to be al la carte. We had water and a Diet Coke in addition to our food, our total was $35 after 20% tip.
I did feel like the price was a lot for lunch time. The interior still feels like the previous owner- I wonder if they’ll change that, I should have asked.
I’d like to go back and try again for dinner & some drinks.
