When we entered the sports bar the tunes were going and drinks were flowing, definitely a place I can see as hopping for events. We were seated in the back and luckily we knew what we wanted to order, I split some tenders with the little yelper and misses ordered the mozzarella sticks. The mozz sticks were nice crispy and had that cheese stretch which is always good. The tenders though, hand breaded which is nice but they were really overcooked, to the point the breading had that weird taste to it. Neither of us were really impressed by the 3 tenders, but we powered down 2 of them thanks to some ketchup , Nashville hot and bleu cheese. As great as the waitress was , next time it'll be just beverages.

A so so experience. I was staying in the area and needed a 9:00 PM beer and bite. I had the small…read moreCaesar salad with chicken add-on, cup of chili and 2 beers. The Caesar was adequate with a fair portion of add-on chicken. The chili was sub-par: thin and soup like, not many beans or beef. The bartender was more interested in talking with her friends and family and taking care of other customers by follow-up. Would I repeat? In a pinch if I had. O other choice.

I ended up having to ask someone other than my server because it was very clear she wasn't going to remember. I watched her seat another table after me, and she was so good! Explained that it was happy hour (she didnt tell me, I didnt know, and definitely would have ordered differently if I did). She brought their drinks right away as well. I think it was maybe because I was dining solo, so she was working harder for the larger parties for tips. Disappointing. I ordered French onion soup. It was lacking flavor. Warm, and cheesy, which is important but the broth watery. I also had some garlic buffalo wings. Some of the wings were great, but some were quite rubbery. Nothing here was terrible, no one was rude, nothing was dirty, etc etc but theres nothing making me want to come back.

I'll lead in with the good, The kids tenders were crispy and served with a nice helping of fries. Kid approved, she said they were Thumbs up. Now we'll move on to things that were pretty average, The bacon cheddar burger was cooked to request and served with a handful of fries. (We had 2 of these ordered) for the size and cost there could have been more fries or the patty a little thicker The Philly cheese steak, same decent helping of meat on the sandwich and side of rice pilaf The chicken spedie, one skewer of chicken with a few Veggies, some rice , Greek salad and some naan. Would have liked a little more chicken (was cut on the smaller side) / $7 for a second skewer. The chili (not pictured) was served lukewarm with some tortilla chips. The French onion soup was alright, decent amount of onion and bread in crock, but the broth was just lacking something (bland ) It filled in steadily as we were there so this place must be the place to stop in for a pregame beverage and meal. But overall pretty good place for a meal.

We ate outside on the enclosed patio on a rare and perfect 72 degree sunny not humid day. We were told it could be an hour to be seated but our text message came in after barely 10 minutes. Our server was friendly and service overall was prompt. The Mac and Cheese was enjoyable and I took home the leftovers and ate them later. It wasn't as cheesy or luscious as I might have hoped, it was just enough cheese to do the job. The finely diced chicken had good fire grilled flavor but was pretty dry. They offer a Buffalo version of their mac and cheese but there are several hot sauces on the table. Not sure how much difference there would be between their buffalo mac and just sprinkling hot sauce on the mac and cheese with plain chicken which is what i did. The chicken salad wrap was satisfactory and VERY generously filled. It was really almost too big and it came with a comically huge quantity of potato chips.

So much so, had to sit at an unclean table. Food was below par. $20-25 per entree. This was expected at an airport, but what's not acceptable is cold food after a long wait. Hamburger was overcooked, and had the wrong toppings than what I ordered. Did not have the drink I ordered and then overcharged me for "the same priced" drink. My spouses nachos arrived cold, with grossly overcooked and dry chicken. Oh and don't ask for any frozen drink or anything with sugar on the rim. They don't have it

Starting with the friendly and attentive service from the staff. Even the security guard outside welcomed us to Rochester and made his recommendations!

The amount of food was perfect, the sides were all so tasty, I couldn't pick my favorite! The ribs I was so happy from beginning to end.
