There's also the cheap ass weekly specials. Be sure to check out the list in the bathroom. It's $2 for whiskey on Wednesdays. Among the many cheap drinks. Burgers are most popular among the food options. The food menu also has a lot for vegans. It's $6 for the Impossible Chicken. This comes on a bun topped with lettuce, onions, and pickles.

If you're looking for a unique dinner experience with some fun views, this is the place for you!…read moreThe atmosphere is welcoming with friendly staff eager to recommend their favorites and help in any way they can. The spacious outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying a day with friends watching planes come and go while enjoying some delicious food and drinks! I had their elote dip and pork chop and it was some of the tastiest food I have ever had. My only complaint was the grits had zero flavor to them. Everything else was absolutely amazing! I highly suggest checking this unique dining experience out. Especially if you know any plane lovers!

My husband ordered the taco of the week, which was a buffalo chicken taco. I had the barria chicken tacos. Both are served with chips and salsa. We added queso, which I highly recommend. We swapped a taco so we could try both kinds. The meal was delicious and the service was great! Parking is easy, right out front. Bathrooms are very clean and so was the restaurant. We will definitely be back when we can sit outside!

Oh boy, where to start. I guess I'll begin with the positive things about this place; the…read morebartenders/servers (they're the same people) are friendly...and that's pretty much it. There are QR codes on the bar for the beer menu. It isn't accurate, they're out of several. I was told by a staff member (again, it's hard to tell who fills what role so I'll just call them staff members from here on) that they are "locked out" of that account so I should check the board behind the bar. The board lists the flavor and usually the type of beer. It does not list the manufacturer or really any other details. At this point I ordered a beer and the chicken nachos. I received the beer promptly. I finished that one, then another. Still no nachos. After an hour+ and 3 beers, I cashed out and left. At least they never tried to charge me for the nachos. I witnessed numerous dishes returned to the kitchen. There were 2, sometimes 3 staff members for the entire bar and dining room. All were friendly but seemed inexperienced. I witnessed at least 2 on their phones at some point. Last but not least, the atmosphere. The place could be really amazing. When I was there, the bar was sticky. 3 of the lights above the bar were burned out and the fixtures, obviously intended for old looking filament bulbs had bright LEDs installed giving the ambiance of a hospital waiting room. The recessed can style lighting in the rest of the establishment wasn't much better. The stools at the bar are seriously worn. It's almost worth visiting for the spectacle...almost. Update: they did charge me for the nachos. I misread the receipt that night.

They are always amazing. The food has been good on some visits and absolutely terrible at other times. I know there is a new chef and a lot of new staff, so we are trying to be patient while everyone gets trained. I'm adding pics of the filet and ribeye we had right before Chef Chris' departure. Also, I would love to see some attention to the patio. It has amazing potential, and we absolutely love having dinner out there, but for a golf course and restaurant of this caliber, it could use some love. Updated outdoor furniture would be a great start!
