Long wait. They gave me the drinks for free. Chill vibe. I would go when you have a few hours time to spare. Polite bartender.

Great food and service. Everything you love about a neighborhood tavern and none of the stuff you don't.

There are TVs everywhere, so it's a great spot if you're looking to catch a game. The service was outstanding from start to finish. My son and I both got the Rory O'Conner Burger. I wasn't sure about the peanut butter at first, but it was actually a really good burger. I'd definitely order it again. My wife had the nachos, and they were really good too. They were on special for only $7.50, which was an awesome deal. There's also a nice little patio if you'd rather eat outside. Overall, this place gets an easy 5 out of 5 from me.

If visiting downtown Battle Creek take the time to look for another option because I'm sure there are better options.
