I ordered at the bar and the food was ready in 12 minutes. I got the Bacon Cheeseburger on Steroids. OMG. This burger was so good. I ordered mine Medium so it would reheat well the next day. They did prepare it wrong but it was soooo good. It comes with a ton of jalapeno & smoked applewood bacon, monterey jack cheese, homemade bacon mayo, lettuce, tomato, red onion slices and 2 strips of sandwich pickles. It comes with a classic side and I opted for the fries. The fries were a little over cooked and greasy but still nice and soft like I prefer. Next time I may upgrade for a salad instead of the fries. I can't do a lot of greasy food these day. But overall I will definitely get this burger again.

I get that its busy on Wednesdays but I was treated like that I was invisible despite the fact that I was sitting in the middle of the bar directly in front of a touchscreen monitor. Not that I like attention (as a matter of fact, I loathe it) but the server seemed like she was catering to everyone except for me...especially the crowd who showed up way after I sat down and the guy who was next to my right who ask for the remote twice in which she gave to him in a flash. After waiting several minutes (as in 20+) just to get a drink, I just said forget it and got a to-go box. I could use stronger and harsher words to describe my visit but I'm opting not to.

We were seated in the back where we have sat many times, but when we sat down we felt like we were in a Chinese school! The overhead music was nice, but we could hear not only that music, but the music from back in the kitchen. We asked the waitress to please have them cut their music down and she might have, but it got turned down just a little, then almost immediately turned back up. I asked to see the manager and when I told her our issue she said, "so you want me to turn my staff's music down because you don't like it and make them work in silence!" I was taken back my that attitude, and told her it had nothing to do with their music, just that my daughter has misophonia, and noises in combination effect her negatively. She said the music was already very low. I asked her to please just lower it, but that never happened. Obviously their management needs some training on customers being the priority! We will go to the Kernersville restaurant from now on.

Wow, we've been missing out! We knew about the Playground but didn't really give it much thought…read morebefore today. We were interested in watching the Oregon Duck football game this afternoon and were looking for a place to watch the second half of the game while grabbing something to eat. My wife did a bit of searching and suggested the Playground. We mentioned this to our friend and neighbor and he had nothing but great things to say about the place. We arrived shortly after 5pm on Saturday evening, and had no trouble finding parking. We were immediately impressed. They have a nice outdoor patio and once we walked inside we could see this was not your typical "sports bar". In addition to the bar/counter area, there are tables throughout the main area near the stage and bar. They also have virtual games that allow people to play everything from Zombie Dodgeball to Baseball. We took a seat at the bar and asked if one of the TV's could be changed to the Oregon game. They were happy to accommodate us but we also appreciated that they checked with another couple they knew were interested in the games playing to ensure we each had at least one TV focused on the game of our choice. The young man who provided us menus was friendly and helpful. We also met the manager, Sam who gave us a bit more history on the place and we discovered we are both Penn State Alum, which was cool. I ordered an IPA on draft and saw for the first time a draft system that fills the cups from the bottom with a magnet filler system. Sam and I talked a bit about it and how it works, which we found really interesting. We looked over the food menu and were happy to see they had both Roman style pizza crust options and cauliflower crust options. My wife ordered the pesto pizza on cauliflower crust with no cheese. I ordered the meat lovers pizza on the roman crust with no ranch dressing. My wife visited the women's restroom and reported they were spotless and well equipped. She even made a comment to Sam that she really appreciated the level of attention that is clearly put into the place to keep it clean and well kept. Our pizzas were ready about the same time as the band arrived to begin setting up for a 7:30pm show. We were told the band was a county music group that was really good. We've since started following the Playground on Facebook to keep up with their music offerings. We opened our pizza boxes and both pies looked delicious! My wife oohed and awed over each bite of her pizza and managed to eat the whole thing. I was equally pleased with my pizza but only managed to eat half since it contains a lot more dough than the cauliflower crust, but that leaves me with leftovers, which I love. Overall, this was a great experience and we will absolutely be back! We are also excited that we've found our new place to watch College Football this year. A big shoutout to Sam and the people at the Playground. You've created something really special in our neighborhood.
