It's really cool. And cozy. We sat at a high-top table away from the bar. We usually sit at bars, but that's ok. Got there late. TV's are everywhere. Not a problem finding a tv with our game on it. Our server was perfection. I think her name was Kelly but can't swear to it. Very attentive and very nice. Good looking, woman, too. The food was good. I ordered the wings. I don't like wing drumettes, especially the really large ones. I prefer the wing tips. Wing drumettes are supposed to be small. The whole idea is that you eat many of them like you would a snack or appetizer, not one or two really big ones where you get full, like a KFC wing. But the wing tips were normal sized. And they were flavored well and cooked properly. We also ordered the nachos. While I appreciate the thought, no thanks. Sports bar nachos should be sports-ish. I mean, melted cheddar or nacho cheese smothering yellow corn chips and chili or ground beef, and beans and jalapenos. The nachos at Junkyard are boutique, like something women would eat at The Henry or Viggilucci's. The Junkyard has a sort of rough and tough motif, you know, steampunk/biker/mechanic/car enthusiast. The nachos should reflect that theme. Other than that, we will definitely be back. OH!..one more nuance. The back corner tv's are blocked by this huge "Junkyard" sign over the pool table. Hope those tv's weren't the expensive ones. Maybe raise or lower that sign. My view in photo.

There's always such great events going on where you can watch the game or fight, dance to great music with a great DJ or you prefer to sing, they have karaoke nights as well. You can also host small dinner parties here and it's absolutely magical outside at night. I love their food menu, really delicious and fresh flavors. So many exciting menu items to have and try out. I especially love their burgers and tacos. They have a great taco Tuesday and I recommend their birria. I like my drinks strong with some spice, so I recommend their taco Tuesday drink specials too.

It can get a little busy at times, but that's probably because people know it's a good spot. I can definitely recommend any of the omelettes, and the fried chicken and waffles are fantastic. Definitely worth the visit. One tip: park around the back if you can. You'll enter on the same level as the restaurant. If you park in the lower lot, you'll have to climb several stairs to get up to the entrance. Highly recommended. Good food, good service, very reasonable prices, and a place I'd definitely come back to.

I'm giving this place 1 star solely because of how poorly our experience was handled…read more We called ahead of time specifically to ask if they would be able to play a certain game, and we were told they could. When we arrived, we confirmed with the host again, and she assured us, "Yes, we have the game." We ordered drinks and a starter, only to be told 10 minutes before the game started that they actually couldn't play it. Had we known that beforehand, we absolutely would not have stayed. On top of that, our server was quite standoffish and barely checked on us. When they did come by, their tone felt rude and there was no effort to be welcoming or accommodating. The food itself was also pretty mediocre. The Surfside Bucket was a fun concept, but given that we were leaving because of the game situation, we asked if they could remove the drinks we hadn't consumed from the bill. Considering the circumstances, we felt that was a completely reasonable request, but the overall experience continued to feel unaccommodating. Mistakes happen, but confirming something with us twice and then telling us at the last minute that it wasn't possible after we had already ordered is what really ruined the experience.

I will not post the price here, so as to give them the courtesy of our changing times, but I will tell you that you cannot find a glass of Austin Hope Cab for anything near their WW price!

First time here on a Saturday night and it was great!…read more We tried a beer and a seltzer - both crisp, cold, and refreshing. Blueberry and the raspberry lemonade - perfect on a hot day. Great flavor and so smooth. Food was really great - our table ordered the Buffalo chicken dip (huge portion of chips and the dip was delicious) for an appetizer- I think it arrived in three minutes. Carne asada tacos, fries and farmhouse salad with chicken and the beef sandwich were all super tasty. We had to try a dessert and it was hard to pick just one as they all sounded so good - landed on the apple crisp and it was perfect and the best warm caramel sauce. Food is fresh, good quality and everything was great. Service for drinks was the fastest I've ever encountered in any restaurant- seriously! For as large as this place is, they have it running like a machine with food runners and wait staff choreographed perfectly. It's also a neat atmosphere, lots of tables, full bar and good vibe. We enjoyed our meal and overall experience. Highly recommend.

The Mafia decor was interesting, the beers were excellent, especially their Coconut Blonde ale. We also had a Ruby Red beer. All their draft beers are $5 a pint every night.

The lemon pepper was the best! The service was good, it was packed with customers by 5pm and it was super busy. I wish we had come here sooner, their beers and food will be missed.

Family owned with local ingredients and there hasn't been a single thing I've gotten here that I haven't loved. Their burgers are TO DIE FOR and let's talk about the wings. Believe it or not, a place called, "Burger Bench," of all places has the tenderest, most juicy, tasty wings! After trying Wing Stop, Epic Wings, and BWW - Burger Bench takes the cake by far. They're always perfectly cooked and sauced to perfection. The service is ALWAYS friendly and prompt. Sometimes it can be a little loud with the music, but ultimately it's a great place for lunch, dinner, solo, groups, dine in, or take out! Keep an eye out for "Wing Wednesday," where the wings are $1 per piece! OMG! Burger Bench, if you're reading this - "HAGS: Don't ever change!!"

To top it all off, the owner stopped by our table to chat with us, which is such a rare and appreciated touch these days. We can't wait to come back!

You get one free bread basket (of 6 pieces) and some olive oil with balsamic vinegar. I found it interesting that they charged $2.50 for every bread basket after, but ultimately I didn't ask for more. The staff was nice and friendly and checked on us enough. I ordered the pasta of the day, a tortellacci pasta with short rib and cheese covered in a cream demi glaze sauce, and my partner ordered the ravioli al formaggio di capra, a goat cheese and parmesan cheese stuffed ravioli with spinach and tomato cream sauce. Upon arrival, my dish looked quite lackluster. It was about 5 pieces of stuffed pasta covered in a beige sauce and dribbled with squares of short rib. There was a thin film over the sauce, which made me think it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a bit, which would have been okay if the food was good. The taste was underwhelming yet a little too salty. I should have taken a picture of the food, but imagine a hamburger helper beef stroganoff colored pasta sauce--bland and tan. My partner described his dish as something that was once frozen, then reheated, as the pasta felt a little undercooked. He says it was "mid" but "not as bad as Olive Garden". Overall, this place seems nice for a few drinks and maybe some apps. It's possible that we ordered their weakest dishes, but I fear I will not be returning to find out.

Initially, I'd added Harlow's on our list of places to check out, but feeling adventurous -- and given we were already in the area -- we chanced getting in. Fortunately for us, there were 2 seats at the bar top! What an adventure for us to drive out there; located within what was once a golf course. From the moment you enter through the front door, it's old school luxury and elegance: low, dim lighting (some areas darker and more intimate than others); a variety of seating options, some with beautiful, plush furnishings and fascinating art & decor; classy vibe yet casual and comfortable. Very speakeasy. Entertainment is performed on select nights. The staff was wonderful! Given this unexpected stop, we enjoyed cocktails only; however, friendly guests around us praised their menu items. Exquisite find -- one in which we plan to revisit very soon.
