    Went to this place a few weeks back, and had a sub-par experience. Bartenders heavily drink on the job, and a group of one of the bartender's friends tried to start a fight with another group. Staff did nothing to help the situation. They ended up physically attacking another customer and the very drunk bartender only escalated the situation. If you're looking for a bar where violence is not only permitted but encouraged, this is the place to be; otherwise, I'd keep looking. Will not be returning.

    Fantastic food! Wow, totally exceeded all expectations. The quality of food coming out of this kitchen does NOT match the dive bar atmosphere. This has become my go to favorite spot in North Olmsted. Drinks are reasonably priced too, and the staff is always welcoming and inviting. KEEP THE GOOD WORK!

    Friend and I went in for dinner, the bartender charged my card for both meals even though my friend and I were paying seperatly. When brought to her attention she refunded me the purchase of the meal but not the tip. On my friends bill (that she charged me) she wrote herself in a $10 tip that was supposed to be $5.00. I called the manager who has done nothing about it and now she is avoiding my calls/texts. Terrible customer service and now they have lost two customers! I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company, ridiculous! Buyer beware!

    This place is a hidden North Olmsted gem, and the food is absolutely delicious. My buddies and I have been coming to the bar for the past decade after our bowling league, and once Jeremy became the chef, we order food every time we visit. He make his meals with quality ingredients, seasons the food to perfection, and is meticulous with the presentation. If you enjoy a no frills bar scene with great prices and excellent food, this is your kind of place.

    Nikki the bartenders was great (the service overall was great, the bar-backs and other staff were all very friendly) and karaoke there is super fun! The drinks are at a great price and taste awesome

    Reasonably priced bar with excellent food. It's one of my favorite local bars. My only complaint is that there isn't a patio to hang out on when the weather gets nice. Bartenders are all very nice and attentive. They also have diamond pool tables, which are the best of the best.

    Did not expect such great food from a corner bar but it was amazing... Ashley and Haley were awesome. Great atmosphere in this little dive bar. Highly recommend.

    Diamond pool tables and the food here is fantastic! Def not the average bar food u would expect coming out of a place hidden in the back corner of the parking lot in the shopping space it's in. Nice clean place. Not gonna lie tho, the cook gets pretty cranky on football Sundays 😆🤷🏼‍♀️

    BEST BURGER HANDS DOWN!!! Had the backdraft burger and was very impressed. Brad is a culinary genius. I am not a huge fan of burgers but ate the entire thing. Fresh ingredients and skillful preparation. I had my burger with American cheese, fried egg... Backdraft is a hidden gem. Cassie is awesome behind the bar. Great food, great atmosphere great people. Order Brads burger, you will not be disappointed!

    Bartender was awesome! Was busy for a Monday night but she killed it. Asked for well done wings but they came out pretty under cooked. Got the boneless wings as well but the breading was literally falling off when I grabbed them with my fork. Almost like a snake shedding it's skin! Might just be back for drinks in the future.

    First off the food is fantastic 5 star. The vibe is a dive bar. Most seating is around the bar. There's a few tables for 4 in the back behind the bar. The staff is okay. They'll promptly get what you need but you have to ask for basics like napkins. The utensils are plastic. Actually surprised how good the food is, it's like it doesn't fit with the place, I don't know how else to describe it. They're worthy of a try and repeat visit.

    Nice bar! The bartender was great and their food is spectacular! Would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Carrie F. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant/bar. My burger was amazing and it was exactly what I needed being from out of town by myself visiting my grandmother and being super tired of hotel food. Everybody in there was as nice as pie, especially Cassie but also the friendly customers. The music was good, the drinks were good and it was a really nice dive vibe. I really wish that I had been able to go back, but I needed to tend to my grandmother, then fly home. I sent the bar link and info to all of my family who will be coming through to move grandma in a couple weeks. They are excited! Thank you!

    Nice place to meet up with friends, enjoyed a karaoke night but can fill up fast on those nights. During the week quite place to grab a drink and meet up.

    Good french fries and onion rings took home to go with the burgers my husband made at home! Very nice bartender! Very clean place!

  • 5/5 Dane S. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent place if you want great bar food, nicely priced drinks, and great atmosphere. They have some of the best wings and general bar food — do yourself a favor and go there. It’s right near Fat Head’s on Lorain.

    Great food and drinks! Nice staff! Super fun karaoke nights!

    If you like rubber onion rings, that’s the place to go. Nothing crispy about it. We’re sirens ever had in my life.
