The menu showed 4 tacos, the menu said you get 3 and what I got were two slightly stale shells wrapped in tin foil with my entree. The service was good, but In my opinion the food was just average. I guess technically it's mostly a bar, in which case it's probably better than most. The atmosphere is casual, but for what we paid ($108 for 4 people and 1 appetizer) seems like a lot for what it is.

When is a Panini not a panini? Well, when it isn't a Panini…read more The name "panini" is given to a grilled sandwich made from any type of bread. That's what I was expecting when I ordered their roast beef pesto panini sandwich, with sweet potato fries. It arrived sans grill marks. Whatever. My wife went with their Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap. She really liked her Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap. I showed her my "panini" and asked here "Does this look like a panini to you?" Nope, it did not. Anyway, so what did the non-Panini Panini taste like? The roast beef wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good. It was like lunchmeat. The pesto flavor was very light. It was served hot, but I had to salt it because it was so bland. The sweet potato fries were tasty. They had an unlimited soup and salad bar. The soup was okay, the salad was shredded iceberg lettuce with lots of other things to drop on it. Service was a bit slow for lunch since the bartender was also the waitress. The mens room must have been cleaned - when I used it, there was no smell and the fixtures were clean.

The restrooms were convenient and easy to access. The service was outstanding. Our server came right over and took our drink and appetizer order and gave us time to look at the menu. We were there during the dinner hour and there was plenty to choose from. Everything we ordered came in a timely manner, hot, fresh and as we ordered it. We ordered the combo appetizer platter it came with deep fried mushrooms, mozzarella cheese sticks, chicken strips and onion rings. One person ordered the chicken bacon pesto wrap and onion rings, one ordered the chicken strip meal with fries, and the last person ordered bacon cheeseburger meal with tater tots, all the meals came with the soup and salad bar. The soup that night was broccoli cheese and there was a nice variety of salad to choose to choose from. The prices were pretty average for the area.

Can't believe we haven't stumbled on this place before. It's an easy stop off 88 and the food is great! We both had burgers; I got onion rings which are some of the best we have ever had. They are crispy and delicious! The burgers were amazing! Lots of toppings to choose from, perfectly toasted buns, crispy bacon, just a perfect, juicy burger. The bartender was friendly and helpful and the guys behind the grill were awesome. Can't wait to stop back and try more delicious eats! They had fried chicken today too which was tempting:-)

Sledgehammers is a place that's mostly known as a biker bar but everyone is welcome. Mostly that is. There's a bar and dining area inside, and outside they have a big stage. Came in and it wasn't crowded. It's because it was too early for the rabble rousers. This place gets crazy busy when it's later and there's a big ass party on stage. Of course that's when it's warm enough. They have outdoor concerts in summer. It's about $6 for whiskey, any kind. We got the good stuff because it's the same price as the cheap stuff. It's about $8 for appetizers. These include onion rings and tater tots. Entrees include burgers and other meaty items. The prices are okay for portions. Has a lot of biker stuff inside that's sure to interest those interested in chrome. It's pretty quiet around here weekdays so they have kind of limited hours. They're closed from Mondays to Wednesdays.

There is no table service and you need to pick up your own food. That's a little weird because they looked staffed for it but anyway, they were still friendly. The place is awesome! Very large place with areas for bands and gaming. The restrooms are small. They're clean but very close contact and you'll be relieving yourself very closely to your buddies. A place this big should really look into large restrooms with space and privacy. I'm looking forward to visiting again so they can get that 4th star once I actually get some food and listen to a band. This place looks like a lot of fun!
