Oktoberfest menu
Terrance G.

Stopped through here to catch a few college games and get some good. First off the hostess and waitress were phenomenal. They had numerous reservations And we didn't so we ended up having to sit outside. They had a cancellation and instead of giving that table to someone else they recalled we wanted to sit inside and they came and let us know about eh cancellations we were able to move inside and still have our same waitress They have a multitude of beers to select from and specialty burgers as well. I got the Oktoberfest burger which wasn't bad but could have used a little sauce but the cheese curds were delicious and made from real cheese. No question about that.

Okay! So it's been way too long since my last review been slacking sorry about that a lot going on LOL. I heard today was National cheeseburger day and being the cheeseburger aficionado and connoisseur that I am I decided to seek out a burger somewhere I've never been before and ended up at City Works. After some debating I decided on City Works because I've never been there obviously and based on a couple of recommendations from Friends who's opinions I value on burgers. I ordered the Scorpion Burger with french fries for pickup, the burger had Pepper jack, pickled jalapeños, five pepper jam, arugula, vine-ripened tomato, scorpion pepper aioli. I arrived about 5 minutes early and my order was not ready yet as expected but did come out on time, the burger was a bit messy but cooked a perfectly medium rare as I requested and pretty tasty too, fries were well seasoned and yummy however a bit mushy which I know can happen in to go containers so no biggie. I'm definitely gonna have to comeback to try a different burger before I can place City Works at a number on my list so stay tuned lol, better yet go check out yourself!

Cheese curds
Jennifer J.

Such a nice place to try if you're looking for yummy food and great service. We started out with the cheese curds and they were delish. They had just the right amount of cheese and batter and were crispy yet airy. My boyfriend ordered the fish and chips and the fries had good seasoning, the fish wasn't overly battered and had great flavor and the slaw was nice and fresh. I got the brisket biscuit and gravy. The brisket was so tender, the biscuit was like a cheddar biscuit. So good. Overall, it was a great experience.

SOUTHERN BURGER*
Deb S.

Burgers were great. Very interesting flavor combination . Husband had bacon cheeseburger, said he loved the seasoning and flavor combinations. Fries were heavily spiced for his tastes. Yelper had Southern burger. Loved the sauce, pimento cheese and candied jalapeño peppers. Food is worth five stars. Didn't get that fifth star for service reasons. Though servers were fun and well spoken, polite, we believe our simple order was misplaced when our server was pulled in to assist behind the bar. Shouldn't take over 30 minutes at 2:30 in the afternoon with only ten percent of the tables seated to get burgers out. Ambiance for a sports bar is great. Plenty of screens showing all kinds of athletic activities. We will be back. Just wish in the Christmas rush we would have been served more expeditiously

We went on a Tuesday for trivia, yes on purpose. I had the bacon burger and really liked it: messy and indulgent in all the best ways, just how a burger should be. The fries were more than decent too. You could tell they were bagged, but the seasoning they used was the real star. Everyone at our table (all six of us) loved them. The nachos looked amazing, but they didn't get eaten because, well, there was a hair in them. The server apologized right away and took it off the bill, as expected, then sent the manager over to say sorry again. He also gave us a gift card to come back, which was a nice touch. On the bright side, the chips and queso were solid. Housemade chips always get points in my book. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and plan to go back, not just because of the gift card, but because, aside from the nacho mishap, we genuinely had a good time. Our server was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The space is clean and inviting. I could definitely see this being a sweet date spot.

Peach cooler
Liceth G.

Walked in on a busy Saturday afternoon and our only option was to sit outside in the heat. However, the sweetest hostess was on the lookout for a table inside and not even 10 minutes later she helped move us back inside (too bad I can't remember her name). My chicken and waffles was a delicious treat, thinking about it now makes me crave some more. Fantastic beer selection and my peach cooler kept me cool

BACON CHEESEBURGER

The food, service, and atmosphere was 10/10. I really was surprised at the large portion of my salmon salad. Very flavorful

Handheld point of sale with incorrect tipping.
Topher R.

I'm writing this review out of genuine concern for what I believe is a highly unethical practice. I've been coming here for years and have always enjoyed the food and service. But after my recent visit, I'm not sure if I'll be back. I ordered two specific dishes. They were initially made incorrectly--which I understand, mistakes happen. The staff was kind, remade them, and the second round was perfect. No complaints about the service in that regard. The issue was at checkout. To account for inventory, they rang up four dishes instead of two, then comped two of them. While I was only served and charged for two, the system still displayed the inflated total--including the two comped items--when calculating the suggested tip amounts. So when the screen offered 18%, 20%, and 22% tip options, those percentages were based on a falsely elevated total, not the amount I was actually paying. This means unless you're carefully watching, you could unknowingly tip a much larger amount than you intended. This isn't a technical glitch--it's a manipulative design that misleads customers at the point of sale. It exploits the trust people have when tipping for good service and can easily result in significant over-tipping. Frankly, it feels borderline fraudulent. Tipping should be based on what the guest actually pays--nothing more. I hope whoever oversees this system takes a hard look at this practice and corrects it immediately. It's not just misleading--it's wrong. Please be aware and look at your bills if they make a mistake on your food. I hope someone from ownership or executive leadership can reach out to me and explain this. This needs to be someone higher than the store level.

The City Works Burger
Pancho A.

Hmm hey you mislead me by your cleaver sneaky words. That is not smoked fried chicken! And when I asked for the item the girl said that it's allot of food so I'm expecting a big bucket of smoked fried chicken(never had that) and what you served was just chicken fried steak. There was no image on the menu and your description was misleading. If it was worded accurately I more than likely would have passed but I was expecting fried chicken.honestly it's just chicken fried chicken patty with a hint of smoke. You're description on your site "Buttermilk breaded smoked chicken" What you left out was "chicken fried chicken" and you forgot to mention that it's two patties. That's misleading. Non the less it's an ok meal I believe it's premade and just reheated because the center was still cold. The honey sauce on the mash potatoes didn't mix well with the seasoning and artificial smoke flavor from the chicken patty. Putting the patties on top of the mashed potatoes and greens was not it for me I wish you had separated them. It made the chicken fried steak soggy on the bottom. At $23 it's over valued and not worth the price.

Cheddar burger minus tomato, onions and lettuce
Denise S.

The service was fabulous! We ordered an appetizer of queso which all 4 of us enjoyed. The cheddar burger was very good. The fries were too salty for me. This is a sports bar and there is a whole wall of large screen tv's so you won't miss any games. Very comfortable. Nicely decorated. Great place to visit with friends. A huge selection of beer. Drinks and bar bites are discounted during happy hour.

Smoked meatloaf
Jamie T.

The smoked meatloaf is absolutely the best!! Service was great, waiter was very friendly! Ambiance is more of a sports bar with a diverse menu of beers!

Our server provided decent customer service. It was busy at first, but then it calmed down after the large party and three other smaller parties left. Overall, it was a positive experience since my food was deliciously good.

This most recent visit we skipped it in favor of the strawberry cake which was stale and a big let down.

After taking our order, we didn't see our server until she brought the check. I'm sure she was busy, but a check-in or two would have been nice to avoid having to flag her down from across the room to get refills or jam. The restaurant itself was pretty clean with a nice waiting area outside, but the restrooms needed a little attention. I would visit again, but First Watch wouldn't be my first choice. It just felt too rushed and inhospitable compared to other brunch places in the area.

The pollo Frito was delicious, the chicken was seasoned well and maintained crunch even within the biscuit. Duck fat potatoes were also good but were even better after adding some salt. The brisket benny was okay, the texture of the brisket was very odd and didn't really hold up to the egg. Although the okra had a great flavor the batter was a bit too thick which made it chewy. The Fixe breakfast was great and the maple sausage was perfect. Our waitress was Adriana, she was great and very helpful. Overall we would definitely come back and look forward to trying dinner one night.
