I'm not much of a drinker but the drinks here are superb and the service makes this place even better. The bartender was very down to earth and checked in a lot and answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and personality. The ambiance was lovely and i enjoyed my espresso martini. This has become my go-to spot for hanging w/ my friends on late evenings. I think this place will be a nice core memory place to look back on after my college days.

What happened to this place? I've always loved this place, but the food was terrible. It's been…read moreabout a year since I've been here and obviously things have changed in the kitchen. My quesadilla barely had any cheese, chicken and was dry. Quesadillas used to be amazing. Fish tacos were also dry, the tortilla was not soft and there was way too much lettuce.

I ordered the Reuben with onion rings and was blown away by the flavor of both the sandwich and the rings. I'll say without hesitation they were both the best I've had. We've been back several times, I always look at the menu wanting to try something else, but end up ordering the same thing because it's so good. My girlfriend gets a plain burger with fries,(her go to regular), she loves it...

I've been throwing darts at Cactus Moon for about four years, and I even have a plaque on the wall,…read moreso I've spent enough time here to qualify as part of the furniture. During dart season, I was here at least twice a week. However, after moving about half a mile away in December 2025, I started coming even more, sometimes three or four times a week, usually Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and the occasional Saturday. I genuinely considered myself a regular. Unfortunately, there's one small problem: apparently I'm a regular who has achieved invisibility. Unless Jackie B is working, getting the attention of the bar staff can sometimes feel like trying to communicate with a satellite. Jackie B has always been the highlight for me, she actually sees the customers, takes care of people, and somehow manages to notice that humans are sitting down in the dart area. Every time Jackie B is working, the experience is noticeably better. The service in the dart area can otherwise be extremely hit-or-miss, particularly during the day. If you're shooting darts, you may want to bring a flare gun, smoke signal, or possibly a small flag. There seems to be a mysterious service blind spot, especially around the first few tables near the smoking area. But honestly, the biggest disappointment for me has been the removal of the Medalist dart boards. When Cactus Moon got rid of them, it didn't just mean losing a couple of dart boards. It left several of us regular dart players without a home bar with no explanation from anybody at Cactus Moon. And unfortunately, many of my Medalist dart partners simply stopped coming to Cactus Moon altogether. We had a group, a routine, and a place where we played. Suddenly, we didn't. It was honestly embarrassing to be left scrambling for somewhere else to play after years of treating Cactus Moon as our home. For a group of regular customers who had invested that much time and money into the bar, it felt like being politely evicted from your own clubhouse. And that's the frustrating part: Cactus Moon used to be my favorite bar. I even chose my apartment partly because I was so close to it. There are still plenty of things I like about the place. The food is genuinely good. The Wednesday and Thursday half-price burgers are a great deal, and the Thursday night wing specials are worth showing up for. And the Friday-night prime rib is really darn good. If you come here hungry, order something--I've had consistently good food. Then there's today, 8/30/26. I came in for breakfast and darts, fully prepared to spend some money at a place I've supported for years. After 94 minutes and two drinks, I finally gave up on breakfast and went somewhere else to eat. It was nearly 30 minutes between receiving my second drink and finally asking for my tab so I could take my business elsewhere. I understand that bars get busy, staffing can be difficult, and sometimes service falls through the cracks. Today was not one of those days. When you're coming in three or four times a week, tipping well, and spending a lot of time there, repeatedly feeling invisible gets old. At this point, I'm pretty sure I've reached a level of invisibility normally reserved for ghosts. The irony is that I'll probably still be back. It's the only dart bar around, and I'll likely show up for the Friday dart tournament in the near future. I just may be bringing my wallet along strictly for moral support. Cactus Moon, I really do want to like you again. Please find your dart players, and maybe find me while you're at it.

We almost always start with the clams, and my go to is the chicken marsala, and Bryan has tried everything from the lamb to the scallops. All carefully prepared with fresh ingredients.

Don't let the little unassuming restaurant tucked away in a strip mall fool you. The food , service, and ambience is what you'd expect to get from restaurant in a much more upscale area. We started out with drinks, a bright refreshing glass of Riesling for me and an old fashioned for my hubby. For starts, I tried the poblano corn chowder and we also shared the boar and beef meatball small plate. Both were absolutely delicious and were devoured. For entrees I had the wild boar bolognese and my husband had the lemon thyme chicken. The portions, especially the pasta, were generous and the dishes were really well composed. It was an excellent meal with excellent service. I look forward to coming back again.

I order their fries, which are amazing because they are Truffle-ized, but tonight I decided to try something a little different, so I ordered the Osaka Jo-Jos -- let me tell you, they are amaze-balls with the perfect amount of spice which makes magical umami (I just wanted an excuse to use that word). Served tender crispy with a flavor that will take you places. All this in a Speak Easy atmosphere that is seriously vibing!!

The tacos were stuffed with seasoned taco meat, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Filling and tasty. Overall, Player's is a decent bar for the surrounding area. Due to the type of bar that this is, top-notch customer service shouldn't be expected. Have a seat and enjoy a cold brew while waiting on food orders. Witnessing the amount of people at lunch during the week, I can only assume this bar gets packed in the evenings and weekends. My wife and I both enjoy bars such as Player's and look forward to returning in the future.
