    This place does not have a kitchen. It looks like a great dive bar to hang out in with a group of friends.

    Sidetrax Bar & Grill - Side salad with honey mustard

    We visited Sidetrax on Christmas Eve and had a bite to eat. This was our first time in…read more I had some sort of shaved steak/Italian beef sandwich. It was pretty good. For a beverage, I went with vodka tonics, and they were good. Service was good as well. Our bartender/server apparently relocated from Sully's, which is now closed. Good vibe at Sidetrax, and though they closed around 5:00 on Christmas Eve we were able to get some food in our bellies and have some drinks in a comfortable atmosphere.

    If you went to Sully's back in the day, you'll be happy to know the owners are still rocking it…read morewith Sidetrax (downtown Galesburg) and Trax Northside (Monmouth). This was extremely comforting to find after hearing their restaurant on Henderson closed in '22. While I loved Sully's, the distance from campus made it a must to designate a driver or coordinate rides. The proximity to Knox makes Sidetrax and easy choice for college students looking for a solid meal, watch a game with a yeasty beverage, or night out. You'll also find many of the same menu items and some new ones! I'm eager to try some cheese curds and revisit the Sully's Reuben. If you like craft beer, there's a small fridge to the right of the bar that has several cans eager to be sampled. I recognize those visiting the 'burg may belittle Sidetrax to an average sports bar serving typical pub selections. While l can understand some of the quick takes and average reviews from Yelpers, I think it a bit dismissive. There's a reason the Bernardi brothers have over 20 successful years delivering what the people want. |TO BE CLEAR:| As a Knox student, I learned to eat wings at Sully's and the flavor profile of their buffalo sauce and honey mustard dressing (always got a side salad to make myself feel better) are *pure nostalgia*. I've traveled the nation sampling popular wing establishments from every corner of the 48 continuous--a self proclaimed wing aficionado on Yelp--but it all comes back to Sully's wings. "Mild, wild, screamers, nitro" were a regular mantra amongst my friend and I'm happy to say Sidetrax version do not disappoint!

    Review Visit: August 8th, 2016…read more Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo. I like to say that bar food is the best food, so when I am out and about exploring, I try to find pubs that have good reviews to eat at. With that train of thought in mind, The Buffalo came up on my radar one day after exploring Iowa. Having an empty belly that kept reminding me to get some food, I headed over to The Buffalo to see what they offered. Upon entering, I was greeted with the usual dim-lit bar scene. Nothing was too bright but nothing was too dark. It was the right mix of each. As for the bar itself, it was your typical bar with the usual decor that you see in most bars. What was unique about this place was the massive amount of writing on the ceiling. It seemed almost every ceiling tile had something scrawled on it. There may be a story to it, but it's not found on this out-of-towner. I ordered the The Western Bacon BBQ Burger with fries. I remember being disappointed in the small size of the burger but rather enjoying the taste of it and the fries. The small size of the burger was made up by the fries and I left with a mostly full belly and a smile on my face. Within reason, I am okay with smaller sizes if the flavor/quality blows me away. At some point during my visit, I noticed they sold those gimmicky pull tab lotto tickets. Being the sucker for a cheap thrill, I bought 2 for $1 or something like that. I won something like $0.50 and bought another pull tab.. which was a non-winner. Between the unique ceiling, tasty food, usual bar environment, and friendly customer service, I would have to say you won't be buffaloed by visiting this tavern.

    Great friendly local bar. They have great drink specials. The Gouda cheese curds are terrific…read more Will be back for sure.

I tried the ponyshoe with tenderloin and grilled onions, the bratwurst with onion rings, and the tenderloin sandwich. Everything was good, and we had a good time here! The service was good, and the food came out fast. No complaints! Had a great time!

Cheese Curds with ranch or chipotle ranch. These were amazing! Wasn't a fan of the water thin chipotle ranch, but the cheese stands alone. The hamburger Pony Shoe was flavorful and plentiful! Winner! The ribeye sandwich was another story. It came to the table dressed as a burger, with bacon lettuce tomato and some condiment. I was taken aback. I've never seen an establishment do that to such a flavorful cut of meat. Sorry, no review as I sent it back. But the onion rings were probably the best I've eaten in Macomb. There were 6 people who seemed to be staff for maybe 20 diners and a handful of drinkers. We didn't get bad service, we did feel a bit like an inconvenience a couple of times. Average service overall. If you hold higher expectations for a total dining experience, look elsewhere. Maybe more experienced diners aren't looking at the hot spot it could be on the weekends. (Old fogies out of our element?)
