    Veggie Platter
    Eric G.

    It's a fun bar for activities, but the food is just above what I'd consider "dive bar" food. We did golf and it was okay for the price. I think it was $60 for an hour. There were a ton of golfing spots, but I'd still call well ahead to get the time you want. Fowling also looked fun, but we didn't do that. The draft beers were tall and cold (I did get one draft beer glass that had just come out of the dishwasher so it warmed up my beer considerably). There is a full bar so you can get cocktails, wine, and beer. They provided great service when there were 2 flies in my wife's drink (even though she drank more than half). As far as food, you don't get a waitress. You have to order all your food (even if you have a big table) up at the bar. Then you point to your table and then have to be on the lookout for what could be your food. So be ready to take notes of everyone's order. I had to guess a couple of items since I didn't know there were options, like swapping sides. If there was a waitress then it would have helped... Moving onto food. We got the apps of chicken wings and they were okay. Good taste, but not super crispy. The veggie and humus was probably the best hummus we all had. I got the chicken fingers and it came with a lot of food. They were just okay. The salads were just okay and my wife thought the cheese tasted rubbery and the produce tasted unwashed. With that being said, I'd come here for apps, but not for a whole meal.

    Amazing !!

    I was already fearful of this place seeing that they only have a 2 star here on Yelp. Gulp. My department settled on a team outing this week here, team building of sorts. We came to eat some apps, "football bowling, do some axe throwing too. We had reservations for our department from 2-4pm. It kind of looks like an office building. Then again I guess it doesn't matter what the exterior looks like. Had to sign a waiver for the X throwing, since incidents can occur. Trainer is telling us to release the axe about eye level, wooden or black handles are heavier than the yellow handles. Jeff is training for football bowling. Tom is training for the axe throwing. He's a good coach and cheerleader too. I ordered the blackened honey glazed salmon on the Michigan salad with no blue cheese and balsamic dressing instead. The Michigan salad is made with iceberg lettuce, blech. The first salad came with blue cheese atop it, gave it to another colleague. The salad is sub-bar, would be better with mixed greens, the dressing is definitely not balsamic, it tastes super sweet and syrupy, like the raspberry vinaigrette. The blackened salmon is good at least. We ordered cheese bread, nachos and hummus for some shareables. The nachos and hummus weren't too bad. One of my colleagues got the BBQ chicken wrap and liked it well, came with the sweet potato fries. Our waitress, never got her name and our football bowling and axe throwing trainers, Tom and Jeff were all great to our department team. The blackened salmon is really good. They should put that on the menu. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing is a little too sweet, too sweet. The service here was definitely a four. The food was a three for me.

    This place is enormous!

    We met here for lunch expecting a sports bar. It was listed as "Griffen sports Bar." I was confused when I pulled up and it was a "volleyball and ax throwing" place. We went inside and this enormous place was completely empty. But looked super fun! They had ax throwing, golf, baseball, fowling, and outdoor beach volleyball. There is a big bar area that serves food as well. We didn't end up staying here though. We wanted to sit at a bar and watch the game. This wasn't the atmosphere we were looking for. I'm sure we will be back because a lot of what was offered looked like it would be fun. Check this place out if you're interested in any of this.

It was full of customers and had a bridal event and memorial at the same time as having almost full capacity inside. Wait staff was new and being trained and attentive. I ordered the ahi tuna salad and my friend the vegetable burger. Good portions- HUGE for salad. Reasonable beer menu- not extensive but maybe just right. Quick even though obviously busy. Large parking lot and really a maze of rooms available inside. Staff not mask wearing. More for your situational awareness than anything. Not a lot of veg options- didn't see any vegan- and could be wrong about that. A lot of cheese and meat, some fish. Good that we had was good. It's a bit out of the way for me and will keep it in mind.

The place is huge: dining rooms, private room, large bar area with many TVs, a stage and dance floor area, plus an outdoor patio which is enclosed for all year round use. It is usually very busy and therefore very loud especially in the bar/TV area. The menu has lots of options including for restricted diet which I appreciate being gluten free. The portions are large, you get your money's worth, even if the food itself is not super imaginative. The salads are my favorite, and are large enough to share. The Chop salad with steak and shrimp is very filling. The Greek with chicken actually comes with a good amount of toppings, not just a single beet or pepperoncini pepper on top. The service is always great and staff is friendly and accommodating. Splitting bills even for a large group is not an issue. If you're there on a weekend night for the live music, the dance floor area can get packed. The crowd and vibe depends on which band and music genre is playing. Overall it's usually a good night out, not a lot of places where you can get dinner and dance in the same location.

Overall a fine experience, but nothing to write home about.

The bartender passed by me no less than a dozen times, never stopping once to check in. She busied herself with socializing with the locals at the tables, but couldn't offer a simple check in to see if I liked my food or needed anything else. Before that, my tip was going to be 30%, which is standard. By the time I left, it dropped down to just under 20%. She was not even deserving of that, but I am a decent guy. As I walked out, I expected a parting greeting from the bartender who was at another table. Nothing. As I passed by the host, I expected another greeting. Nothing. There is absolutely nothing about this restaurant, the food, or the staff that would encourage me to return or recommend it to anyone else. Nothing.
