    I ordered the chicken strips meal. The chicken was "fine" but nothing special. The beer-battered fries, however, were AMAZING! In hindsight, I should have just got those! Kind of thick (see picture) but not too thick. Perfect. Baked potato was great too! The server was very attentive and did a perfect job. The staff appears to mesh well and actually enjoy working there. It's a sports-bar and grill atmosphere (like a local Buffalo Wild Wings) so of course it's a touch on the loud side, but you should know that going in. Would recommend.

    It was a small reunion of friends at a round table. One of the most enjoyable atmospheres that I've had eating out at a sit-down restaurant. Our waitress Cheyenne was very professional and friendly. She was right on top of taking care of us too! The food was absolutely delicious and the prices were very reasonable! I will definitely be visiting again!

    Ok....I've never been here but my wife wanted to try it. I'll give you the Good, The Bad and The Ugly. First the good- the kids enjoyed the arcade games... those that didn't eat our money, and the TV was huge --crazy huge. Kids meals were a good value. The double fudge ice cream cake was awesome. And the bad.. The breading on onion rings would not stay on so I got a pile of breading and onions... the wings were overcooked in dirty grease- too dry to eat. Loaded tots were good, but 8 bucks for 12-15 tater tots with cheese on them is steep. Now the ugly..... when we asked the hostess for a high chair for our baby she said she didn't know if they had any went back to her Podium and stood there. I walked around the restaurant and found one myself. We never once got refills. My $14 Philly cheese steak was a 6-in sub bun with canned mushrooms on and some roast beef that you can get at Walmart for $3 a pound. If I saw it ahead of time I wouldn't have paid $5 for it. I know things have went up in cost but $13 for eight wings is grossly over exaggerated. I eat wings at least 4 to 5 days a week -when buying them at the store raw I can get 24 wings for 11$. I understand the increase in wages and supply chain costs but $77 for a meal that wasn't worth $40 is a bit much. My voice is my money and i hope y'all trust it-- atmosphere great, food not great, value - terrible.

    I used to like this restaurant. I don't give this low of a review unless it's a Health Code Problem. Slow service or food not "perfect" as some may say, I am ok with those things as it can happen anytime. We went last night and while waiting for a table the host was sweeping the floor, wiping down tables, cleaning dirty trays and setting up popcorn trays with napkins and scooping popcorn, all with the exact same pair of gloves on. I went over to the host when it came to our popcorn and said something about changing his gloves before setting up the trays. He became instantly terrified saying he knows the rules, but he has been told by someone he can't change gloves, looking all around the restaurant in a terrified manner. He said I can't do it so we quickly departed and won't ever return as this is disgusting to not allow staff to change gloves

    Wish I could leave 0 stars, waited over 30 minutes to get menus. Then the remainder of an hour waiting for orders to be taken as we played pool.. orders never got taken, walked out. We didn't even get drinks! Won't be back, sad because the service was good when I was college

    We sat on outdoor patio. Unfortunately there is no A/C. Our server was relatively new, and she was given a 4 top, 6 top, 8 top and 11 top at same time. She did the best she could under the circumstances. However, the food did not meet expectations. The reuben was a disappointment. The Buffalo chicken wrap wasn't a wrap, but rather a tasteless, burnt panini. Two guests never received their chili. 3 orders of fries were delivered to our table, but no one ordered fries. One guest was almost done with her meal before receiving the coleslaw that came with her meal. It seems to me they are under staffed and may have had some changes in the kitchen. Not sure if/when we will return.

    We stopped by TJs restaurant because it was in walking distance to our hotel. Their food was good. We enjoyed the fried zucchini with marinara sauce. The atmosphere was fun and the wait staff did a great job. We had a nice time here

    I had a great experience here all because of one waitress, Nicki. She is young, spirited, and so lively! She really made my experience so much better than what it was last time… she’s a keeper!

    This was one of my favorites when I was back in college 20 years ago. So I stopped with my kids after visiting the Good Zoo. Still as delicious and friendly! My kids loved the popcorn when they sat down. Staff was attentive and friendly.

    5 open tables and hostess made us wait. Wasn't that busy. You couldn't hear her either. Food was great and waitress brought our bill, we weren't done eating yet. Didn't ask if we wanted dessert. Not a normal day there.

    Nice......hit ths place during a Sundayfor some NFL games. Had a variety of food and drinks specials. Great place to watch the games. The owner TJ was a hands-on owner that that makes this place roll. Great staff!

    This place hasn't changed in over 20 years, we used to stop here every time we would visit my sister at West Liberty. Still the same great food as before. Great sports memorabilia on the walls and games on tvs.

    Visited for the first time last week. Was expecting it to be overbearingly loud but definitely not the case! Dining areas were spacious. Food was delivered quickly, was hot, and filling. The owner stopped by to check on our experience and was extremely personable. Will definitely visit again the next time we are in the area.

    Our server Paige, was very friendly. We had a large group and she Single-handedly took care of us. However, the food was not that good. I wouldn't recommend the philly steak and cheese. The onion rings not the best, missing seasonings. Others got wings, it was dry..the remaining meals was just plain with no effort to amaze anyone. I would say just little too pricey for what you get.. But I did have a good time.

    The staff is so nice. My husband wanted to watch nascar they put it on for him. It was our son's 21st birthday and they sang to him. The food was cooked perfect and great prices. Our waitress Cheyenne was amazing always checking on us bringing anything we needed.

    I've been here several times in the last few years. The Big T Burger is about the best I've had, not sure if any one else knows this but it's the original big boy burger. So tasty.

    Full on sports bar, arcade, and billiards. Fantastic bar seats with plenty of sit down tables. Outdoor patio with shade and great friendly services.

    Very generous portion sizes. Food was hot and tasty. Ambiance is as expected for a sports-themed establishment. Server was prompt but did not smile once during our time there and seemed somewhat bothered that we had a party of 5.

    Please take this as constructive criticism, because I enjoy visiting. I’m worried the televisions need a make-over. The “big screen” is tough to watch and the new TV’s are showing odd light spots. Just needs an upgrade. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Crystal J. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and drinks! Very friendly staff, handled a party of 7 with no notice very quickly and professionally! Bri is an amazing waitress!

  • 5/5 Danica H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and atmosphere! Great place to watch games or get together with friends and family. Menu had many options from a wide selection of appetizers and sandwiches. They also had other meal options like pasta. My favorite is the popcorn you get when you are seated. Pictured below is the fish and chips. Not pictured was the delicious coleslaw!

  • 1/5 Margie E. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was cold and didn't have much taste. They wasn't that busy and we had to wait forever for waitress to come get our drink order then even longer for our food order. I'd understand if they was busy but they wasn't. Probably wouldn't be back. This is twice in past year been there food been bad and service bad.
