    After some closings of local establishments, we were trying to find someplace local to watch the…read moreNFL games. We had never been here before, but thought we would check it out for the 49ers/Lions Conference championship game. After this visit we will have to find a new location for games. Whereas they have plenty of TVs, the major one is a projection screen and worked fine, but some of the smaller TVs were not functioning properly. Also, the seating is not the most comfortable. They have a section in front of the large TV with high tables but they have hard stools for seats. The bar has seats, but then you are sitting at the bar. We find a low table by the bar with backed seats. They were also hard plastic. I think we were anticipating too much for a Bar & Grill inside a Freeport Bowling Alley. There were two different bartenders working that night. One appeared to be a bartender/cook while the other filled every other roll. The bartender/cook was kind of rude and gave off the vibe she wanted to be anywhere else in the world and we were putting her out. The other one was friendly and helpful and was a joy to interact. As for the food. MEH. We started with Joe's Tatchos. These were unimpressive and bland. We've had better in many other places. Even the cheese tasted like generic canned cheese sauce. After I had Joe's Smoked Beef Brisket. I wish I had not. It was some of the fattiest brisket served on a generic hamburger bun. At least the brisket was tender and juicy, because there was almost some of the blandest food I've had, this includes hospital and nursing home food. My Girlfriend had the pulled pork sandwich, with the same issue. There was really no flavor to it. Even after adding BBQ sauce they had, neither was satisfying. Honestly, I've had tap water that had more flavor. Overall, Not impressed. It's not bad, but I've had so much better.

Not only was my food bad, but so was everyone else's that was with me. I ordered nachos and a hot dog. I ate most of the hot dog, but it was the cheapest quality ever. I would say they were a .59 cent per package. My client order grilled chicken sandwich and fries, and the other party ordered cheese curds. Also, my client I was with literally waited 40 minutes to get his sandwich after we were already done eating. They brought out all our food, but NOT his until 40 minutes later. CRAZY! You go out to eat together. Right? They did comp my clients meal, however charged me full price for Nachos because I ordered French fries, which I only ate few chips out Nachos any way. I feel that was completely unfair, but I was so livid I needed to leave. The meat was god awful. They said it was chili, but maybe caned chili. So freaking disgusting. They did have .99 sodas so that was nice. And their bloody Mary's looked cool.

    If I could give less than one star, I would!! I would like to say that the service there is bad,…read moreand also the food. The ambiance is very old they need to update really bad. Me and my fiancé ordered chicken wings. Both of our food came out at the same time.. when I looked at my chicken wings, I had a big string of black hair on it. The cook had blonde hair. The waitress had black hair when I showed her the hair she didn't apologize. She didn't say sorry she didn't say anything she just took the food and walked away with an attitude and asked me that I want to re-order it. As you notice in the photos of the french fries, half of them was burnt to a crisp . Some of the fries in the order was good, but half of them with Burnt. As my fiancé was eating her chicken wings, she noticed that they were rubbery and pink of the inside of them. But we didn't complain and she didn't eat them. She picked room just to look and see how many of them was like that and out of eight of them six of them was raw. When my chicken wings finally came out, they were doing the correct way with the sauce and the taste of them was nasty. I went to pay for the bill and I asked to cook because I didn't see the waitress at the time. Do I get an apology or do I get anything off of my bill being that I have hair in my food? She looked me in my face and told me that as you can see my hair is blonde so that wasn't my hair ...... I said can I at least get a apology she said no. That will be the last time I ever step foot inside of that place the drinks water down and the service was terrible. I recommend do not go to this place I recommended this place is closed down for selling half cooked chicken wings. I enjoyed going to this place almost 6 years ago, but now the business went down the toilet like I'm flushing poop. Close down immediately!!!!!!!

Indulge your taste buds and relish the thrill of some tasty beef grease. Best with a double dose of Swiss and Grilled Onion. Lettuce & Tomato just gets in the way... It's good. 'Really good'.
