We got lemon pepper (amazing), mild, hot and honey BBQ. We got a variety of boneless and traditional wings. I thought the traditional wings were better then the boneless. Fresh Cut fries were delicious! Beanies is a nice neighborhood bar. Great place to watch the game or hangout with friends!

We walked in and it is open seating, we sat at a high top in the bar area and the bartender/waitress was pretty sassy with us. I asked how the wing order process works, can I mix sauces etc. and I got a pretty flippant reply back from her. You have to buy them by the half dozen or dozen. I got the garlic Parmesan boneless wings and they were basically wings with a pool of butter poured over them with parmesean grated cheese sprinkled on top. My boyfriend got the old bay butter and his were also doused in melted butter with a hint of old bay on top. We were pretty unenthused as these wings tasted very standard to me. Drinks were nothing special and the fries and mozz sticks were the ordinary deep fried from frozen kind. Also there was the biggest slowest moving fly in there that would NOT leave us alone. Prices are cheap and the parking lot is tiny. It's cool to come and try interesting flavors of wings, but the food in my onion was nothing special.

This one is laid out better for a crowd, and it handled a standing-room-only event surprisingly well. Because I was with a big group, the usual service details didn't really apply, but the bar staff kept things moving. I didn't hear anyone complaining about drink waits beyond what you'd expect with a packed mixer where people are constantly circulating and the bar area is full of conversations. The staff stayed friendly and didn't seem bothered by the volume. What stood out most was how consistently the team was cleaning and clearing. Glasses and empties never piled up. Even in spots that weren't obvious from the bar, staff were coming through regularly and picking things up quickly. With that many people in the space, that level of attention was noticeable. The place stayed clean the whole time. It was loud, but that was the group, not the venue. Parking was easy since it's in a shopping center, and getting in and out was straightforward. I didn't try the food, but it's a chain, so I assume it's consistent with other locations. Overall, I wouldn't dissuade anyone from going, and I'd go back if I were in the area and in the mood for a drink or a casual sports-bar type meal.

Joy definitely was not the same as the one on Linglestown. We tried the Thanksgiving egg roll, which was very good and served with a side of gravy. It should also come with a side of cranberry sauce for that holiday "twang". One of us ordered the Cottage Pie, which was served hot. I ordered the build your own burger, which is a favorite of mine at the other location. I was vastly disappointed by this burger, which did not resemble the juicy mouth watering version I was used to. The atmosphere was fine and service friendly, but I don't see us returning to this location.

There were lots of choices on the menu and Chuck guided us through our choices and was so helpful. Cocktails were exceptional. The charcuterie board we had to start our dinner was wonderful. It was so fresh and the cheese, meats, honey, etc. were so tasty. It was a nice large board of yummy food. Wings were very good with their sauces. We all had various steaks with some of us adding a crabcake to the plate. The steaks were cooked perfectly and all of them arrived at the same time! Crabcakes were as good as the steaks. Most of us had the glazed carrots and Boursin mashed potatoes as our sides. They were so delicious and freshly prepared. Compliments to the chef! Best carrots and mashed potatoes I have ever had. It was really upscale eating in a cozy, comfy environment that wasn't pretentious. Our waiter refreshed our water and delivered second drinks quickly. Chuck was humorous and very knowledgeable and attentive. Most of us have leftovers to enjoy. We were so full that we had one dessert to share. Lava cake with ice cream, and it was vanilla with caramel which was so delicious and different. The manager came upstairs to make sure everything was ok and chatted about the place and answered questions we had about where the fresh food was sourced. This was a really excellent Farm to Table dining experience that delivered in every way. We all can't wait to come back to try other menu items! BRAVO!

With my job, I eat out quite a bit so it takes a little more to impress me. First, the staff was great! The owner even came around to make sure all was good. Everything is local bought, and top quality produce and meat is selected.The Salmon/Brisket combo that I ordered was beyond good! If you are within an hour drive from Palmyra, you need to try this place. Not really for families with young children, but it would make a wonderful date night. (or apology meal. LOL) I will be going back here for sure. Especially this summer when the outdoor seating is open.

This was a delicious sandwich that just screams Georgia! We also tried the Madfather Chicken Sandwich! Pesto, Vodka Sauce, Mozzarella, this thing was outstanding! The fries are always a highlight here! We got the bucket (had a bigger group) and it came with 3 sauces. 1 tiny little knock on the fry bucket....the entire bucket was not filled with fries. The bottom of the fry bucket had about an inch or 2 of crinkled up paper..... All of the food was outstanding. The beer was good. Tons of space and seating. Very easy ordering process. Go up to the counter, tell them your table number, and your food arrives shortly! Prices are high here! Expect a larger number on your check if consuming both food and alcohol!
