    What happened to the food? The food used to be good when they first moved here, and when it was Hangar 9. Now it's pretty forgettable and underwhelming. People stay longer when there's a decent kitchen. I guess that must not factor into their decision making process. I can't imagine that management doesn't know that their food quality has deteriorated so much. It's unsustainable at this level. There are so many better options out there for pub food. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and the place is clean. It's a shame what they have allowed to happen in the kitchen. πŸ˜•

    First time...nice place. Good location..Live music was ok. TVs behind the band was distracting . Service was ok. Although friendly..but a bit lacking in checking on us until we were about to leave. Ordered buffalo sliders and what I got was disappointing- a lot of bun and no chicken..It looked like a chicken strip was split in 3 pieces and put on each bun. Lost in the bun...Not worth $12. Onion rings ok would have saved the extra 1.50 for sure .I asked for buffalo sauce so I can dip the strip..it was an extra charge.I basically ate the chicken out of two the buns. I told the waitress my disappointment in the sliders and it really didn't go far.

    So I am actually saddened to write this review. This was my go too favorite spot to get Nashville hot wings. They were knee slapping good with the service and vibe. It’s been a good 6 + months since I’ve came here and had wings and definitely much have some sort of change in food or something. The wings were over cooked , and the taste wasn’t the same, not good at all. We also got pizza that was cooked on top but not bottom so the pizza fell apart in the middle and was soggy and mushy . Definitely not what I remember. Our server was great , just not what I was expecting and walked away dissatisfied with the food.

    Stooped in for dinner and a drink... and it was very nice. A lot bigger on inside than appears. TVs everywhere, so great place to watch sports. Food was good... I had Cubano, which was good, not best I've had, but enjoyed it. Wife had a very good BLT. They have a stage with live music and a great place to hangout. Definitely be back. Friendly and attentive bartenders.

    Catching Flights was soo good! Our waitress, Kamyron was great! She introduced me and my husband to the "Screwball" which is one of their frozen drinks...it was soo good! Their calamari was really crispy and tasty too. I got the Boston Sandwich which is fried cod on Texas toast with slaw.. πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹...I got the buffalo fries as a side and OMG! I can't wait to have them again. My husband got the Nashville chicken sandwich and he loved it. He was also stealing my buffalo fries lol. We purchased a groupon which gave us $30 off of our meal. It's well worth the price regardless. We would recommend this spot for sure!

    Drinks were good but the food was terrible. Our party of 6 each ordered something different and no on liked their food. Chicken salad was simply lettuce on a plate with chicken strips on top and buffalo sauce poured over the top of everything. Other sandwiched and pizza was similarly not good. One person refused to eat her chicken sandwich after one bite. The servers were helpful enough but you can't fix the taste of the food. Update reply to owner: I'm honestly not looking for a refund or anything, it was just an honest review. If it helps, we were there around 6pm on August 5th. The band was great also, so we'd go back to listen to them and have drinks if that also helps. Best wishes!

    New brunch and drink menus. Sat/Sun they open at 930... Edit. Pictured is the sourdough breakfast sandwich with potatoes. Both were exceptional. And that bloody Mary was on point... Thanks Kelly!

    Haven’t been here since new management. But food was good but I would say I miss the old parm fries they sold here. There was flavor in every bite !!! So if those can make a return I would be able to say 5 stars

    Great local sports bar and grill. I really enjoy this place. I love to support local small businesses. I met the new owners Jamie and Don last night. They are so friendly and engaging with customers. Great place to go play with pool with my teenage son. We had a pizza and buffalo chicken fingers with tots. Both delicious. Jamie mentioned that they even get the pizza dough fresh from another local small business.

    We recently celebrated my husband's 80th birthday with a surprise party at Catching Flights. Jamie and Don, the owners, bent over backwards to accommodate our requests and make this party of 60+ guests a mega success. The appetizers were great and delivered in shifts so they didn't get cold, Don worked with us to set up the audio equipment to use our own playlists and have a slide show. The entire staff was stellar in every aspect of service to make this gathering a HUGE success! If you are looking for a great place to host an event, Jamie and Don and their staff will not disappoint.

    The band there Saturday was great! Our waitress was so nice, and the place has a great vibe. However, if you are expecting alot of craft beers, you may need to try somewhere else. They do have a decent selection of IPAs but not any Stouts, Porters, Sours etc. We did not eat, but friends got a pizza and said it was very good.

    I love this neighborhood bar. It has the best local vibe with all the things! Sports on large TV’s, live music, a place to say cheers to familiar faces. The very best part is seeing our favorite bartender and server amazing Violet also known as VI. She is the sweetest and really friendly bartender that you will ever encounter. Todd another bartender is the right balance of witty and professionally serving it up! I just love this place and think you will too!

    Excellent service and very friendly help and is rare that they have padded bar chairs πŸ™‚. The manager was even nice enough to change the channel to Chive TV

    Great place to eat and have some brews. Don and Jamie the new owners are awesome, always greating us and the menu has improved a bunch, plus the place is clean. The servers are on top of making sure you are well taken care of. And very friendly. Support your local mom and pop bar n grill.

    First time here, I had the Philly cheese steak (sub out peppers, add mushrooms, oh my goodness so good!!). Hubby had a burger. Lots of games on (but not too loud, thank you!) and it's pretty busy. Our server was very nice and even though she was also bartending on top of taking care of several tables, her attitude was great. There's other things I want to try next time we go, so we'll be back.

    Came down from Prescott for my sons baseball tournament and β€œGoogled” best lunch near me and this joint showed up. Opened the menu and it said free beer and burger today (for Veterans Day). I’m a Vet, so, very cool. Restaurant is very clean, great menu, great television set up for watching sports. Both my son and I had a great meal and Amber was a great hostess. Thanks for looking after Veterans Catching Flights (public service announcementβ€”tip on the total full price before the discount).
