    The food was good but the burgers are massive. I absolutely LOVE the way the menu is written out. If i owned my own restaurant, it would probably look similar to this. You have to seat yourself, which isnt immediately obvious because the sign is behind the counter when you walk in. I noticed several people after i came in also appear confused on how the seating works. Perhaps if the sign was displayed out fron instead of on a wall behind the counter, it would be more obvious. We didnt see our waitress that much, which meant when we were ready to leave we were basically stuck there. I ordered the ACTUAL Bacon Cheeseburger medium rare and it was great, but again, the burger was massive. The FRIGGIN fries were super good too. Not sure what the dipping sauce was, but it tasted similar to Freddys sauce. Perhaps something with mayo and pickle relish in it? All in all the food was super good and they are open late

    Huge liquor selection. Beautiful exposed brick throughout. Chicago themed with a nice selection of Chicago faves mixed in with regular Indiana bar faves. No ketchup on your dogs and can only get a fork? Italian beef was to die for. Amazing. French fry’s were great, but flat. Not sure if I have seen them that way often. Nice upgrade from chips. Floor was a bit slimy in areas, but that happens.

    Great bar in downtown Lafayette. Group of nine greeted and seated promptly. Nice sized bar. Doors to restrooms are different. Food was hot and correct for our group. A little busy, but did get seated right away,no wait for a Saturday.

    Great place! Best in Lafayette. I am a Boiler Alumni and this place never disappoints. I was back in town for a visit and this stop was a no-brainer. Amazing food, great staff, unique place. Definitely don’t forget your appetite, the plates are HUGE. The no Ketchup on dogs rule and no cutting the sandwiches in half policy is cool!

    Loved this place! Great vibe! Fun sports bar atmosphere. Great service and fantastic food! A real burger, not some skinny crusty "smash burger" (hate the smash burger) This delicious burger was cooked and seasoned perfectly! Also loved the fried pickles! I will for sure to be back again to try more of the many options!

    Everything is normally good with this place! Food and drinks are good. The only negative is service can get slow at busy nights but that’s expected and not a big deal if you’re just having a good time. But I’ve never been disappointed and have always enjoyed the food especially the fried pickles!

    This may be the best chicken wings in town. They are so good that I came in a bald headed old man and i left a 23 year old ready to run a marathon.These were the crunchiest wings I've had in a long time and the flavors of heaven were in every bite. And the fries....no the potato sticks. These were fries worthy of the manliest men. These fries are only intended for lumberjacks and men who wrestle elephants. Also the waitress was awesome. If I were 24 years younger and had self confidence I would have asked her out. She was the nicest most patient young lady. Over all one of the best dining experiences in my 9 1/2 years living in Lafayette indiana. I'll be back for more wings most definitively.

    The hamburger 🍔 was really good. I had a good time with my friends. It's a worthy place to chill out 😎.

  • 4/5 Nicole 8 months ago on Google
    Great food, good service, all around great vibes. Food is pretty consistent and good quality as well. Highly recommend the pulled pork sliders with the fries. So delicious. It is downtown so parking directly in front might be hit or miss. But there’s parking all around the area so its not that bad. Never have had to park more than a block or two away. Enjoy!

    There's something great about the feel of a college town. For me, DT Kirby's is the best of that feel. They have the best fried mushrooms I have ever tasted! I am normally not a fan of all beef hot dogs, but their dogs are fantastic. Have you ever been thoroughly entertained reading a menu? No? Well, you MUST come to DT Kirby's! If you are a Cubs fan, this place will have you utterly distracted by the decor in the best possible way.

    I went in as part of a group of six, and Sara provided outstanding service. Everyone at the table was delighted with their order. The truckstop burger, the reuben, and Chicago dog were standouts! Cheese curds, freshly made chips, and onion rings were worthy companions. Beer came out in frosty mugs, and the cheesecake options did not disappoint! The atmosphere was great. Multiple large televisions along the old brick wall had sports galore. Terrific for watching a game.

    It's a great place for bar food! I go there regularly and I've been very pleased with every visit. Friendly and casual atmosphere. Throughout the day it's family friendly. Evening and weekends are pretty packed but seating is still easy to get and food is fairly quick for the amount of people. Staff is very friendly and helpful! Among my friends and I a go to Burger is the Bacon egg burger which is delicious! Philly sandwich is also really good, I haven't tried anything I don't like. It's probably my favorite place to get a Tenderloin sandwich. There is a great selection of beer that's constantly rotating. Their full bar allows you to get any drink you want. Overall it's always a great experience, fast and friendly service. Worth coming back. The bathroom entrance is funny and it's hilarious to see people try to go in on their first visit.

    One of the best hotdogs you will ever have. Amazing environment!

  • 5/5 Danny B. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent downtown bar with good beer and extensive spirits selection and a boutique red wine selection at reasonable prices. Delicious, creative American-style pub fare - the burgers, Reuben, and bacon grilled cheese are worth writing home about. Service is amongst the best downtown - Adrianne, Andrea, Bobbi, Mattie, Michelle, Nate, and Nelly are great and equally inimitable. Highly recommend!

    This bar & grill had great food but is hard to find because the signage is poor. There was no one at the door just a sign saying "Seat Yourself". The inside is run down and the AC vents blow on you regardless of where you sit. I recommend take out our delivery.

  • 1/5 Amy T. 1 year ago on Google
    Went in with a couple friends for some drinks and appetizers. Drinks were good and reasonably priced. Waitress was nice. But we waited an hr for our appetizers and they still weren't ready. We ended up leaving without trying the food since we had other plans. There were a lot of empty tables so maybe they only had 1 person in the kitchen? We were bummed we couldn't try the food. They sounded good and were well-priced. But we should have at least been notified ahead of time that the kitchen was behind so we could grab food somewhere else. I don't think we will be going back.

    The most perfectly browned NOT BURNT fries in town! Cuban is amazing and filling and the service was great even just picking up! Definitely will be returning

    Really cool place. Highly recommend and definitely use the restrooms. They are the coolest

  • 5/5 Kelly B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing! It's your typical college bar scene - crowded, loud, and so-so service (we saw our server when we ordered and payed - but we didn't order any alcoholic beverages, so....). Portions are HUGE and you'll need a jaw that can come unhinged to eat the sandwiches! All in all the atmosphere and service were what I expected walking in. The FOOD...it blew my mind. SO GOOD!!

    This is by far one of the best spots downtown Lafayette. Being a (somewhat committed) vegetarian, I always order their veggie burger and it simply blows all others in the region out of the water. Their cheese curds and fried pickles are always fantastic, the service is friendly and quick, and their hours are excellent. My husband loves the hot dogs as well, and one of my friends has mentioned that the "Real Bacon Burger" is a fantastic choice!

  • 5/5 Louise N. 1 year ago on Google
    It took us a half of an hour to find it, but was glad to have the experience of eating there! A quircky, fun place. Definitely a sport bar, but has the BEST food in town! Definitely two thumbs up!

  • 5/5 Benjamin S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best burger I've ever had. A little expensive but you get what you pay for. The staff is amazingly friendly and the food is so good. I got a prime burger and it taste amazing. The bacon they use is top notch and the meat is amazing. The burger is so big I have to crush the burger to make it fit in my mouth. The fries are so good and you MUST try the fried picked. Best I ever had. The decor is so cool with a lot of character. I absolutely love bringing the family here.
