There has been some new owners recently so the menu changed a bit, but i find the quality of the food to always be spectacular for a 'sports bar' where i want both super high quality food and a chance to see one more more games on decent quality TVs, and they do this really well, one really large tv and some mid sized in the bar area gets you so you can see 2 or 3 games at once. I would say though, they need to get two more TVs mounted behind the bar area so there would be more options for games, but compared to many sports bars in this area, it far and away stands out as the great balance between food and the game. The wings here - off the chain good. Some of the best queso here, the wraps are good, shrimp is amazing - they do a pretty good job as a bar having some healthy options along with your typical fare, and I love that.

We came to Windward Tavern for a late lunch. The menu has a great selection, so we decided to give…read moreit a try. It's a sports bar located in the Publix shopping center on the corner, with a covered patio if you want to sit outside. Just an FYI they allow pets on the patio. I'm not a fan of that, as I don't believe dogs belong at restaurants, but that's another topic. The place was nice. When we arrived, there weren't many people there, so we were seated right away. We ordered, and our food came out quickly. The tuna sandwich on ciabatta was amazing it reminded me of a good-quality, real deli sandwich! My wife loved the grouper tacos and sweet potato fries. Our son finished all of his chicken quesadilla, so I'd say it passed the kid test. Everyone was friendly and helpful, the food was very good, and we'll definitely be back. Give Windward Tavern a try if you're in the area!

Let's start with the drinks, they were great. From old fashions, manhattans, and everything in between. Zach (ZB) and the bar staff do a great job. Now for the food, it ok. The tuna tartar was a little bit of tuna with a lot of chopped olives. So if you don't like olives steer clear. The burgers were ok but I like mine medium to medium rare and they were well done. The fries were awesome as well as the lemon pepper wings. I'd give this place a shot to try other menu items because they have more than burgers, especially if you're staying in the hotel.

Each performer brought an incredible level of talent, delivering their notes with such beauty and intention. It was an absolute treat and perfectly captured the spirit of the holiday season.

While there is a food menu available, I opted for strawberries and water to keep things light. Overall, the live musical experience was absolutely worth it and added just the right touch of holiday cheer.

The general manager Joel was very accommodating and helped ensure our large party was taken care of. We also went early at around 4 during the start of their amazing happy hour service - and several local friends and family were able to stop by and meet the family to say hello and have a drink & offer condolences Our server Spencer and other staff took exceptional care of us. We are Firebirds fans for life, the food is such high high-quality and delicious and the atmosphere is bar none. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

I'd come in for a drink after earlier day shifts, and grab a small bite on occasion. Back then, it wasn't ever busy but it has taken a positive turn for its reputation in the Avalon area. My husband and I ate here recently for brunch, I had no idea what to expect as I'd never had brunch here before. Sat immediately, and served promptly by the nice gentleman. We got to chatting and found he had just started, working mostly just for the holidays. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and they were incredible--even without the sausage! Not a big pork eater, here. The flavors were authentic Cajun, and do recommend it if you're ever here for Brunch. My other half ordered the breakfast burger--warning this thing is HUGE but according to him an incredible foodie adventure to conquer. Atmosphere is a bit dark and drab, but not a deterrence from coming back to try again. One last note to wrap it up, service needs to be sure to recognize Happy Holidays versus immediately resorting to Merry Christmas--very adamant from our server when I said Happy Holidays upon leaving. It's just a courtesy to those like myself who do not celebrate the mainstream holiday. So folks, if you're shopping at Avalon and want to get out of the cluster of the mall, drive across the main road and find plenty of parking to try out Firebirds!

Cafeteria style. Staff is polite but not too friendly. Food is bland. Very very bland. Chicken was dry and pork was nothing special. Mac n cheese was the highlight of my meal.

Parking is minimal so you may have to choose a nearby lot and walk. This was a surprisingly delicious dinner.

This was our first visit here; saw it a few times as we drove by…read more Decided to stop here and try out Happy Hour after my outpatient surgery (before the pain meds wore off!) ;-) We arrived at about 3:30 pm today (Friday). We were immediately welcomed by Jason and seated. He was also our server. Jason made some recommendations as he took our soda orders. We were early so was pretty quiet. However, it was picking up when we left around 4:45 pm. We decided to try several happy hour appetizers to test out the food. We got Maple Bacon (Oh My!), cheesy bread, lemon pepper tater tots and my spouse got the Happy Hour burger. The manager surprised us with some BBQ chips. D was very personable and engaging with us. The food came out quickly. It was very delicious...my spouse says the burger is amazing when you add the maple bacon to it. Happy hour portions and prices are very good. The only suggestion is to verify your check. They bring a pay device that shows your amount. I paid the bill and Jason asked if I wanted a printout. I said yes because I scan them into a rewards app. When looking at the bill, I noticed that the happy hour burger charged at full price. We were heading out to get me home but I mentioned it to Jason so they could fix the system. He offered to get manager to refund but I politely declined as I needed to get home; besides we had a great inexpensive meal. We will definitely be revisiting Lazy Dog many times in the future. Highly recommend the team, food and restaurant.

Another nice thing is they are open late even on week days. We got the wings... bbq, chipotle honey hot, and teriyaki. All were good! We got a couple sides of fries and really only finished one of them. Their fries are good too. I'm not sure where they get their ranch but I'm not a fan. It does not taste like ranch! My youngest likes it but I can pass. We did ask for a bowl of carrots though and basically got about 6 carrot sticks that had been sitting for a while. I will pay for the carrots.. just bring them out folks! Our wings were really good though... we will be back again!

Sure the place can get busy on days when the games are on, but it is a still a great place to just sit back, relax, and enjoy some awesome bar food. The walls are covered in sports and local brewery memorabilia. The entryway to the bathrooms is lined with all the names of those who have received their Brewniversity "degrees," which is TacoMac's loyalty program. This location offers bar, indoor and outdoor seating which is pet friendly. To date I have tried so many items off of their menu, but as previously stated this is my go-to for wings. My favorite wings here are the Hot Honey Mustard and the Asian Sweet Heat. On this visit I opted for a Southern Chicken Sandwich solely because it was topped with the 79' Sauce which accompanies their Philly Egg Roll. All of the food I've had here is great, and perfect for those days when you just want to get a quick meal for dinner.
