On most recent visit we had their Garden Salad and Chicken Parmigiana. Both the salad and the pasta were great! We loved the use of the three-bean salad in the Garden Salad. The Chicken parm was fresh, crispy, and the sauce was wonderfully tangy and fresh tasting. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and the friendly service. We plan on making an effort to visit more often! Previous review: Only been by here a few times, as it is at the farthest end of town from where I live... That said, every time I have come, I have had great food and service. The fresh wood-oven pizzas are tasty - it is hard to beat a real wood-oven pizza. I have to say their smashburger is one of the best I have had (fries are pretty solid too!). They have a full bar, and good selection of beers and wines - so there is something for nearly everyone here. They get the basics here right - and the overall experience is pretty solid.

The menu is pretty is simple American bar food; burgers, sandwiches, steak, and salads. They have a lot of options though and you can even build a burger/ sandwich. I ended up ordering the spicy chicken melt with grilled chicken, cheese and grilled peppers. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality ingredients and how yummy it was. Sometimes bar food can be pretty basic and cheap, but the peppers were nicely grilled and the chicken was juicy. I had their sweet potato fries which were really good too! They have a condiments bar with different sauces. I got the DTF sauce for my fries which was fire and some green salsa to put on my sandwich which gave it an extra kick. I had one of their summer menu cocktails and I enjoyed it. Service was great! The server/ bartender was attentive, and friendly. My dad and step mom who live here now want to try it out!

This was almost a complete disaster. When we walked in, at their posted opening time, the place was already pretty full. It took a while for us to get seated, because we noticed an immediate problem. There was only person running the whole show, the manager? He was running around taking care of everyone. He let us know, all of his front staff didn't show up for work. He was essentially running around, taking orders and bartending for all the guests. One table in particular couldn't read the room and was being "just a tad bit" extra by taking up all of his time which didn't help the situation any. Luckily, as I was waiting outside for one final person in our party...the chef/cook arrived. Okay, no person in the kitchen would have completed the perfect storm. Eventually he found he way to our table (and again apologized profusely) and took our orders. At some point our food did appear. The drinks didn't, but we did get those once we reminded him we still hadn't received them. Hell, I was going to go back and help him fill the cups if needed. In the end, the food was very good. Everyone raved about their individual order. Was it ideal? No, but it worked out and I really hope this was a one off and not a regular event. I don't come here often enough to know, but I'm now curious.

Pleasantly surprised when it turned out the band playing had great vocals and it seemed to be the lead singer's birthday. Our waitress was very nice and made sure our needs were met. The fried pickle spears were lightly breaded and were deliciously tender. The onion rings were crunchy and sweet, giving a nice contrast to the La Toxica Burger. We got the burger medium rare, it was topped with pepper jack, grilled onions, and a jalepeño stuffed with cream cheese. The Hawaiian bun was sweet and fluffy, which my baby enjoyed. The patty was very juicy and flavorful.

We had another chance to try an escape room at Poppy Bank Epicenter, and this time we chose the…read moreBigfoot escape room. Hosts were super friendly, just like the last time, so no complaints there at all. Overall, this escape room was much, much better than the Charlie's Candy Shop escape room. It felt much more intuitive, and the clues were written clearly, which made the experience more enjoyable. The only issue we experienced was in the second room, during the part where you use the dowsing rods to find the letters on the wall which are needed to open the safe. We weren't able to get any readings from the dowsing rods, we weren't sure if the magnets were not strong enough or if something else was affecting it. We ended up calling the host for help, and she was very nice and helpful. She gave us a hint about using a specific word on the metal board, and we immediately understood which five-letter word she meant. That hint worked perfectly for us. Other than that one part, we had a great experience and enjoyed the escape room!

They have a good array of arcade games - we are partial to Jurassic Park though it always has a line, skee ball, basketball, the frogger clone game, the harpoon game - as well as things like trampolines (extra cost), the playground (a ball spill thingy, slides, 3 levels, a zip line, etc - also extra cost. We enjoy bowling during football games so we can watch and bowl and get boneless wings from victory house (and sometimes Bloody Marys). I've also come to watch friends play soccer at their different indoor courts. Only downside - it feels a bit like a germ fest. Lots of hand sanitizer and now I feel like I need to take some elderberry.

A bit dark. A bit well worn. Menu had more options than I thought it would. Appetizer sampler and a salad for me. Salad was a salad. The appetizer plate left a bit to be desired. There were 2 of each app and nothing else on the plate. It seemed disjointed. Had a cocktail. Eh. All in all glad we went so now I know what it is like. I won't go back to try anything else.

I'd never had chicken and waffles before, I always thought that was a weird and silly combination, and I still think that. The waffle was okay, not crispy enough for my taste, but the honey butter served with it was very good. The standout though was the chicken. 2 deep-fried pieces that were as good of chicken as I have ever eaten in my life. The breading was flaky and crunchy while the chicken was moist and tender. I could've eaten much more as the pieces were rather small. When I was growing up, just about every restaurant I went to offered fried chicken, now I can't seem to find it anywhere. If you've been foolish enough or bored enough to read any of my other reviews, you know I don't eat beef, so I have a ton of chicken. This was some of the best.

The margarita wasn't the best drink. Extremely sweet/sour mix forward. The food was solid. A very diverse menu. I'd say fairly reasonable-ish prices, but portions were smaller for price. The fish tacos were solid about $17 for two with no sides and a salmon pita which was also really solid, albeit a bit fishy (I know, I know, it's salmon) but again, no sides, just a piece of salmon on a grilled pita bread with a sauce. Overall, it was A-ok. The calamari app was solid, but a smaller portion, if you're planning on sharing with a larger table.

We waited at the podium at the front door for about 3 minutes since there was a signed that said "please wait to be seated." We were then told to sit wherever we liked, but unfortunately, it turned out our server was also the bartender so she was stretch thin and wasn't able to give customers who sat at tables the attention that most servers would provide. When my friend asked if they had bottled sparkling water, she said no, but offered San Pellegrino. We had to laugh, since that is exactly what we had just asked for! When our food arrived, my friend ordered the French dip with au jus and a side salad. Well the au jus was extremely salty. I ordered the hot pastrami sandwich on focaccia with sweet potato fries. Honestly, the pastrami was so bland that I had to peel back the bread off just to make sure there was actually meat in it, it literally had no flavor whatsoever. To make it worse, nearly a quarter of my sweet potato fries were undercooked and raw in the middle. To say this was a let down is an understatement since we were both looking forward to our meals. We might give it another try but not anytime soon.

I could get half a draft beer, there's a nice outdoor area, a cool bar cat that I became fond of, live music on Friday nights, and the staff is pretty awesome. The last time I went there was 4 weeks ago and unfortunately I will not go there again. My partner went there (he's also been there before) looking to see if I was there because I told him I was going there to retrieve my umbrella I had left there the night before. He was treated quite disrespectfully, even was threatened to have the cops called if he didn't get out of "his " parking lot. Mind you, this was during the day and my partner wasn't causing any trouble, he was just looking for me. This act alone was enough for me to decide that I wouldn't go there again. I understand people have bad days but when they are in service industry, you need to check that shit at the door before you start your shift. After all, the customer is paying their salary.
