Even though they seemed really busy but we were seated right away. My wife had the house salad and added grilled chicken, I ordered the hamburger ponyshoe because I heard they were really good here. Our food came out extremely fast (too fast for fresh cooked food) the French Fries on my Pony shoe were a little undercooked and soft and the burger seemed to be precooked because it was barely warm and the cheese sauce was still hot. It was okay but I wouldn't order it again especially when the best Ponyshoe/Horseshoe in the state is at another restaurant just around the corner. Because the atmosphere and service was great we will probably be back but will try something different next time.

I tell him" gratuity is a option and I didn't have to leave anything if I didn't wanna" owner responded" well then we don't need service from people like you. Will never go back to a bar that has a owner that begs people for more money because that is illegal in the first place. Owner was drinking at own bar during work hours and managing a new bar tender. I'm telling you this now, do not bother coming here if you don't tip big I guess. Otherwise you may get told to leave to just over a few bucks. Will not be around a owner who lies about his own name as well to save his own skin. Because there is online so I don't get why he lied to my face about his name to save himself when I found it in 5 minutes. Win Lose or Draught is a great bar but a terrible terrible owner.

As a bar it appeared to be a neighborhood hangout and is probably pretty good. As a BBQ restaurant, not so good. The service was OK, she was fast and attentive. The sides (cole slaw and potato salad) were right out of food service tubs. The French fries were OK. But you come to a BBQ restaurant for what . . . BBQ. The Brisket was probably cooked days ago and kept in the refrig. The waitress said that they slice it and throw it on the flat top to heat it up. Yea, it also dries it out and gives it a hard crust. The smoke ring and taste was OK, you just had to drown it in sauce to soften it up. My wife had smoked turkey and it was exactly the same, good smoke ring, interesting taste, but dry and hard from the flat top. The only thing interesting was the sausage made out of burnt ends that was really good after I fished it out from under all the cheese sauce the drowned it with. Who puts cheese sauce on smoked sausage? Ball park franks maybe, not smoked sausage! The only reason for even two stars was the service and the sausage.

After waiting a half hour for drinks, the owner screamed in my friends face for "being in the way", and screamed at my friends and I to "GTFO". The owner of this establishment was drunk on the job, and reeked of alcohol. This is not how a business should be ran, and I'm sorry for the others who were disrespected yesterday as well. I've been around the globe, and I have never seen such a disorganized and dangerous environment to grab a drink with friends. There are much better alternative bars nearby... I'd consider going elsewhere if you're seeking a fun or safe time out with friends or family.
