    The camera never eats first so sadly no pictures I'm sorry guys. They cleaned off a booth for us so it was so cozy and spacey just us two. We ordered the Fried Calamari which came in a very generous portion along with the 'Goat on a Date' pizza. We had no leftovers it was too good. Our server was so funny and sweet, just made sure we were having a good time. So relaxing and just a wonderful way to end our busy weekend. The Loaded Bloody Mary was delicious with their house made mix, I think about it still

    I'm not a fan of the fries. Burger was well done as was egg but tasted good. My Long Beach was not very good either. While it was not busy, our waitress was not attentive. The chairs were uncomfortable. And they charge a fee for using a credit card. I'm glad to have tried this place but would not recommend it or go back.

    Chicken Strips

    Came here the other day with my boyfriend for dinner. It was a last minute decision as we were going to go to Buffalo wild wings but they had an hour long wait. I was definitely not disappointed with our choice. This place has really good specials and in general they just have really good prices for the food that you're provided. I got the 10 piece chicken strips for $15. The chicken strips were beer battered and were honestly some of the best chicken strips that I've ever had. They didn't come with a side but I honestly didn't mind because it was enough for me to eat and I went home with leftovers. For my drink I got a cherry limeade and it was very good and I couldn't even taste the alcohol in it but I definitely could feel it a little bit later after drinking it. I did try one of my boyfriends onion rings and I was not very impressed by those. They kind of tasted like those frozen onion rings that you can get at the store. But I didn't get them so I didn't really mind. He liked them though so it may just be me that doesn't like the taste of them. It is a nice establishment and they have a lot of food to choose from. The service was a little slow which I was a little confused by because there wasn't many people in the restaurant but I didn't mind too much about that. Overall, I will definitely be coming back here to try more food on some of the days that they have specials and it's definitely worth giving a shot if you haven't already.

    If you are waiting in line anywhere for brunch, and not at Blue Shark, you're missing out. We had a phenomenal breakfast for Father's Day. The portions are plentiful, plenty of room and excellent service. Steak skillet was awesome. Blue Shark skillet was equally as tasty. Biscuits & Gravy was sooooo good. Omelet, pancakes and hashbrowns Early Bird (bacon, pancakes, eggs) also delicious. We will be back for sure. -- at Blue Shark Ale House west.

    Arrived around 2 pm for my 45 minute lunch. The place was nearly empty but it was clean and the server was very nice. I ordered the "Blue Shark Burger" and fries. The wait for the food was about 20 minutes. The server kept my drink full and was very polite. My food arrived and I knew immediately it was not what I ordered. They delivered me a club sandwich with fries. I was the only one in there at that moment so I knew I wasn't given someone else's order. But the server didn't catch the mistake. Well I didn't say anything. Because I needed to get back to work and didn't have time for them to remake it. So I ate it. It was good. Just not what I would have ever ordered. I wasn't a fan of the fries. Large thick crinkle cut fries. There were a lot of them but they are just blah. The crispy to potato ratio is just not right. Too potato-ey. I'd order a different side next time. And hopefully get the burger I ordered. I'm not upset. It is what it is. Food was still good. And service and atmosphere was great.

    This is a must go location, have a drink and meal. My search was to find a place in the area that offered good fish for a good price. You have found that place, even though it was all you can eat I was so full after my first plate. I wanted more but simply no room for more. The fish breaded nicely with a little kick to it so be prepared for some spice, but its a good flavor and very tasty. Wasn't a fan of the coleslaw for me it was missing something to be a wow. Asked for a side of honey mustard which went so well with the French fries, but I'm not a normal ketchup dipper. While sitting there my guest and myself watched as food was coming out to other tables, like seriously who does watch the food as its being delivered. The burgers look amazing and when I return will need to be my next try. Hope others enjoy their time and meal when they go.

    Stopped in with the office for an employee birthday lunch. Seated ourselves at a high top and ordered drinks right away. Our server was friendly and kept our drinks replenished. Orders came out correct, hot and tasty. The menu was huge and had lots of great choices. We've been back, and will be back again!

    We went to 165 today at 1pm. It was great, server was prompt, drinks were refilled before they even went dry. My crispy chicken salad with homemade ranch was real good. Vanilla Mules, perfect. The only hiccup was my appetizer never came. Not a huge deal, party of 10 women, all on separate checks, for me, that's not a deal breaker. One server balanced all of us plus another group. Even after we finished eating we sat and visited and mapped out our shopping plans. I never felt rushed to leave. This may be our regular spot to meet for our yearly "girls only" shopping putting.

    Atmosphere: Your average sports bar and grill with TVs for sports. Nothing bad about it, I love a good sports bar and grill. I will say, the one unique thing that I love is their huge garage door that opens up to the outside to kind of bring that inside/outside seating on nice days. Seating: Long bar, tables, and booth seating. Food & drink: They offer a wide variety of food including pizzas as well as lots of local beers. I had boneless garlic Parmesan wings and the taste was good (although I'm not too picky when it comes to wings) but I thought they were fairly small in comparison to other restaurants' boneless wing offerings in the area. Even their celery seemed smaller than normal. I also had breaded cauliflower and it was pretty tasty and came with chipotle for dipping which was delicious!

My family also enjoyed the buttermilk chicken sandwich and the Cajun chicken alfredo with crispy chicken. They had a great beer list in addition to their own beers. I'll have to go back and try some.

It was very thick and rich which is not up my alley. All and all - I'd go back and try other things next time! And get more wings!

We ended up quite impressed with the value and our server, Kelbe was fantastic - offering great suggestions off of the Happy Hour menu! Overall, this is a top-tier venue for your next Happy Hour trip (especially once they get the rooftop opened)! To share as much as we could about their Happy Hour, we sampled as many food dishes as we could comfortably eat, with all of them being solid options that we would order again. We started with a Margarita (see picture) and a Raspberry Mule (see picture) and while both were very good, it is hard to beat the value for the Margarita. For our food options, we tried all of the following shown in order of my preference (see pictures for each): Shrimp Street Tacos, Carne Asada Street Tacos, Wings (Tropical Habanero sauce), Lettuce Wraps and Buffalo Rangoons. A few comments to understand the priority order: I love street tacos, the wings were good but could have used a bit more sauce, the lettuce wraps were very good - but oh, so messy with the rice and just a bed of lettuce rather than a wrap and the rangoons were good, but a bit too overbrowned.

I thought a generic flatbread pizza included up to 2 toppings. However, on closer inspection of the menu, adding toppings is more expensive than ordering a specialty pizza as a flatbread. Unbelievable! I was given a flatbread pizza that was as thin as a tortilla and had burnt corners along with 10 pieces of pepperoni and 8 banana peppers. I could've made my own flatbread pizza at home for a fraction of the cost, and it would've been way better quality. I still can't believe I had to pay $21 for this poor quality food. Even the waitress agreed it was ridiculous to be charged that much for this pizza. I will never eat here again. Expensive and poor quality - it's not worth your time.

Close parking to the front entrance can be hard to find at peak times even with the business being adjacent to Jordan Creek Mall. There's plenty of spots, but you might have to hike a little. My guess is mall guests utilize the parking right in front of Dave & Buster's too while they shop. The gentlemen at the host station said the wait for a table would be 1 1/2 hours despite there being visibly plenty of open tables... Not enough staff to cover all the sections maybe? Or maybe they were reserved...? There were seats open at the bar so we headed that direction. The full food menu is available at the bar too. Seating is mostly larger open booths, high top tables and chairs, and the seating at the bar. Our bartender/server was nice enough. We ordered the following: 1x Cheese Stick Stack - "Extra-large crispy cheese sticks topped with shredded Parmesan. Served with marinara sauce." 1x Bar Burgers & Wings Platter. Wings with honey barbecue - "Smashed burger sliders paired with Bone-In Wings with your choice of sauce or dry rub. Served with seasoned fries and celery sticks with your choice of ranch or bleu cheese." 1x Hottie burger and fries - "Two cajun-spiced smashed burger patties, topped with pickled jalapeños, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomato, onions, jalapeño ranch, and a fried jalapeño." 2x Fountain drinks (Coke products) 1x Dangerous Waters Island Punch - "Malibu Coconut, Blue Curaçao, pineapple, and fresh citrus mix." As nice as our bartender was I think he keyed something in wrong with the Bar Burgers & Wings Platter. The wings were forgotten. They (him and a manager) straightened it out and adjusted our bill a little. The food was all good. The stand out to both of us was the Cheese Stick Stack. This is an awesome app with an epic cheese pull! The wings were REALLY good too... After our food and drinks we spent some time playing games. Just messing around... A good mix of old or new arcade games. Skee ball, basketball games, clown ball toss, whack a mole, water gun race, coin pushes, wheels of chance, etc. The place was clean and there were staff available on the floor if you ran into any problems or had questions.

She talked me through what she was going to do and helped make sure it worked out alright. Hang onto your D&B cards, they can be reloaded. You will have to pay a small fee to reload, but no as much if you have reactivate a new card. There are some really big games. You can win "tickets" of course. I thought the place was bigger, but the gaming area is half and the eating/bar is on the other. Circling back on the food. That was a shock. It was really good. Far better than I had thought. I got the burger and was pleasantly full. Everyone in our group of 7 enjoyed their meals. Everyone left happy and full. Again my waitress was very helpful and accommodating. I want to try this again since she said the team building is actually pretty cool. I think I have an idea so that we can meet the team minimums.

Fortunately, they came through and put the game on several screens for us to watch during our visit. We started with an order of Onion Rings (see picture) - and they were the best onion rings I've had in many years. They were uniformly battered, uniformly fried to nice, crispy light brown color, and most importantly - a slightly crunchy onion inside that bit off cleanly so that you could dip it again! The picture itself does pretty good justice on their quality - and the dipping sauce was quite tasty also! For dinner, my wife ordered the Low Carb Beef Bowl w/ Pepperjack cheese & Rice (see picture) and I went with the Classic Wings split between Lemon Pepper Dry Rub and Mango Habanero sauce (see picture). We both really enjoyed the Low Carb Beef Bowl, finding it just as tasty as the name implies (all of the peppery zing of an Italian Beef with a melted cheese top - with rice replacing the bun). I was admittedly a bit disappointed with the wings, especially given the award-winning claims in the menu. My first impression and comment to my wife was that they were quite small in size. Secondly, while they tasted reasonably moist and tender, as the picture shows - they appeared to be dried out / overcooked...with meat pulling away from the bone. The Mango Habanero wings had very little spice given their name and very little sauce, with some barely wet and essentially none in the serving tray to use to add. While the wings would give me pause before ordering again, we REALLY liked the onion rings and everything else that we've ordered has been above average. The other thing I enjoy is their reasonable selection of craft beers (really liked the Chicago local Cold Time) as well as the unique cocktails. This is a solid stop.
