We were tucked into a corner and although the server was friendly- she was busy- and I think she may have forgotten about us. The lunch crowd certainly skewed to an older demographic. My dining partner had the BLT that has what looked to be homemade chips as the side. I went with the burger- which comes with steak fries. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't special in any way either. We had sodas and the bill was less than $30, so it's a relatively inexpensive lunch. If you are going out with your parents or grandparents this might be a solid choice. I'm giving it three stars because it was average- not bad- not exceptional.

Westwoods has some of the best gator bites I've ever had. A server once recommended her favorite…read moredishes for a first-timer, and I highly suggest the Horseshoe with gator bites, swap the fries for their housemade potato chips, and order plenty of their homemade Boom Boom sauce. It was incredible, and I found myself craving it daily. As a whiskey lover, I also loved their whiskey flights. The bartenders consistently nailed every drink. My favorite was a whiskey cocktail mixed with sweet and sour and topped with red wine, creating a beautifully decadent whiskey sour flavor. The cabin-like decor is charming, and meeting the owner one day was a unique experience. He shared stories about the animals on the walls and his hunting adventures to collect each one, which explains menu standouts like gator and elk steak. That said, our experience soured over time. A few interactions left us feeling ignored, as servers focused mainly on regulars or larger tables. In such a small place, it was obvious to tell which table needed attention and it was frustrating and felt like too much of an ask when grabbing our server's attention. This made it hard to stay like we normally would. Would I go back? I'd love to, for the Boom Boom sauce and gator bites, but only if the service improves. It's frustrating to feel isolated in such a small space when the food is this good. The bartenders are excellent, though, and even apologized one night when they could tell our service wasn't ideal. The food and drinks are top-notch, the service just needs to match the quality of the vibe.

We find it hard to find places with a mix of vegan/non vegan options where both are tasty but 3rd shift hit the spot on both. The popcorn chicken meal reminded me of KFC, but in a good, more upscale way that I was more than satisfied with and left me plenty of leftovers. Garlic bread came fresh out the oven and the burger tasted flame grilled with some good shoestring well salted fries. The staff were all very cheery and helpful and the bar itself was lively. Definitely will be going back.

Thankfully we still were able to get one cider, and they had a selection of other beers. The cider was tart and refreshing, and I really like the berry mocktail, which had ginger beer, and a mix of berries in it. As for food, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich came with a lot of heat which was great. I got the dry rub version, which is spicer than the saucy version. The horseshoe sandwich is a local favorite, which is an open faced sandwich with sliced bread topped with meat (we got the angus beef), fries, and cheese sauce. It was quite heavy and creamy because of all the sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal and our server was very friendly, although service was on the slower side.

We came here on a Sunday before a matinee at the Hoogland -- full of hope, hungry, and maybe a…read morelittle too optimistic. The building is beautiful, the location is perfect, and we thought, "Hey, maybe those bad reviews were just people having a bad day." Spoiler alert: they were not. Service started strong. We were seated right away, and they even brought coloring pages for our kids -- a nice touch that gave us false hope. Then the food arrived, and it was like watching a plot twist in a bad movie. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pony Shoe. It came out looking like someone microwaved a bag of frozen chicken tenders and tossed them in buffalo sauce for moral support. The cheese sauce might have been homemade -- it was grainy enough to make me believe someone whisked it themselves -- but there was barely any. Also, who hides the cheese under the fries? That's the star of the show! I had to beg for more, and even then it arrived lukewarm, much like my excitement for the meal. My wife ordered the Pork Schnitzel with "spaetzle." Except it wasn't schnitzel; it was a pork cutlet that had clearly seen the inside of a freezer longer than most people's leftovers. And the "spaetzle"? Nope. Straight-up spaghetti noodles. The mushroom sauce tasted like it came straight from a can labeled Cream of Disappointment. Two of the kids got cheese pizza -- or as I like to call it, "Frozen Circle of Regret." My son's "chips" were somehow both soggy and chewy, a texture I didn't even know existed. Frying them until they're crunchy shouldn't be rocket science, but here we are. Everything was bland, flavorless, and missing any sign of seasoning. The best dish of the entire meal? My daughter's burger on her Pony Shoe -- mostly because it resembled real food. And just to add a little flair, nearly every plate was dusted with dried parsley. Because, of course, nothing says fine dining like sprinkling dried parsley on frozen food. This place has serious potential -- it's got the space, the charm, and the perfect downtown vibe. But if your secret ingredient is "frozen," no amount of parsley is going to save you.
