Sat at the bar and had friendly quick service. I did indeed enjoy my Mr. Mouse burger. it was prepared well and the fries were hot-no complaints. My partner got the steak dinner and he said the sirloin was tender and cooked well. It still boggles my mind that they have no beer on draft and they are STILL serving shots in paper Dixie cups. Still have plastic folding banquet tables for furniture, And for the record, there was no karaoke. With the right management this place could be phenomenal. As is, well Just really disappointing they haven't addressed the low hanging fruit. So avoid the fish, get the steak or burger and come with informed expectations.

Our group (around 60 people) ranged from current Ball State students to people who graduated in '02 and everyone had a great time. There were a couple of bartenders, someone working the door, and an audio guy included in the price, plus we got a great deal on pizzas to bring in from Greek's by mentioning our event at BHN. Yes the bathrooms are dive-y, but it's a small tradeoff if you want to have a fun event in a place that doesn't feel like a sterile conference room. Most of us ended up staying past our rental time to afterparty in the bar. Here's hoping this place and The Chug never turn into condos!

When we walked in the…read morehostess was on the phone with a customer, which I didn't mind too much, but it lasted a good minute, and nobody else had come up to try and help us, which I found a bit discouraging. Eventually she got off and sat us down at one of the tables in the bar area. I noticed all the wait staff were crowded around next to it where the kitchen meets the bar, and just chatting. I found it odd considering there's only one hostess and then there's all of these waitstaff just mingling about. But, being short staff is typical these days so I suppose that's probably how it is there. That's probably why the bartender was the one who waited on us as well. She was quite nice, and definitely knew how to make a good drink. I could hardly taste the alcohol in both. The first one I got was a lemonade type if I remember correctly, It was quite refreshing. The second drink I ordered was a blackberry margarita, which was honestly not good. I'm not big on sour, and it was pucker your lips and just drink it quick type sour for me. The rim had salt, and although I'm not a big salt rim person, that was probably my favorite part besides the actual blackberry floating in it. If you like sour you'd probably love it, but personally it was not for me. As far as food goes, we ordered the hummus appetizer to start. It came out fairly quick, and damn it was good. The fried pita bread with flakes of salt on top were our favorites. I could eat a whole big bowl of that alone if I could. When we almost were done with that, our food came out. My friend had ordered their crispy chicken in the dill pickle hot style, and both him and I were surprised at the amount of fries that came with. It was like fries with a side of chicken sandwich. He gave me a bite of his sandwich, and we both agreed it wasn't spicy or dill-y enough. The fries were honestly my favorite part out of all the food. They were so crisp and kept their warmth pretty well. They were also dusted in cinnamon sugar, which just made them 1000% better. Sometimes at other places you get them and they can be soggy or not have anything on them. They make them the right way here! For my meal, I got the drunken dory, I was debating on that or the blackened salmon salad, but figured why not go with some fries. Seeing how much fries my friend got vs myself, I was a little disappointed, but in the end he ended up stuffed whereas I had just enough. I really liked the plating on this, putting the fish on top of the fries so as the outside stays crispy on the fish. It did work, and overall was very nice. Could've used a bit of salt, and came out very hot though. All the food retained its heat very well. Their tartar sauce was also quite good, and as you can expect the coleslaw was nothing to write home about. I would definitely come back here again, probably try more of their apps and beers, I definitely like it better than some of the breweries over where I live in Virginia, so if you haven't tried it I highly recommend you do!
