Although we did not go during baseball season we were surrounded by the good feels you get on game day. Service: IDs are checked at the door and then you are free to sit where ever. The servers do a good job keeping up with their sections. Food: During our visit we shared the mini corndogs, jambalaya wings, and totzones. Overall Bub's does the whole savory and salty with bitter yeasty starchiness well.

My friend and I came in before a concert to have a couple drinks and get something to eat. It's a…read morepretty big place with a lot of seating both indoor and outdoor. We were able to find seats at one of the bars right away and were greeted immediately. The guy serving us was super friendly and got us drinks right away. It was really busy but he was on it. We ended up sharing a chicken Caesar sandwich and it was pretty dang good with kind of a horseradish spice type kick and I was shocked at how insanely fast our food came out. Like I said this was a really busy place, but we couldn't have waited longer than five minutes once we placed our order. We got drink refills very quickly as well. My friend wanted to go back after the concert where we sat at the main bar. This time it was a female bartender who again was right on top of her stuff. She got our drinks right away. This time we ended up ordering some animal tots, which also came out super quick. I can see why it gets so busy here, there's a fun ambience and the service is great. Come check it out for yourself.

The space is quirky in all the best ways, from the poster covered walls, to the gold wolves popping out, to the unique way they use cassette covers to give you your receipt. We were there for the mimosas and were pleasantly surprised at the value of what you're getting. We got a bottle of bubbly for $16 dollars and it came with pineapple, grapefruit , orange and cranberry juice in these cute tiny glasses. The bubbly came dressed in a zipped-up werewolf sleeve and I loved it. We also ordered the pork belly nachos which I have to admit sounded like a weird concoction at first and I basically fought my husband for the last delicious bite. I highly recommend those nachos. The menu had a unique selection for the brunch options and I am looking forward to returning to try a different t dish. I was also informed that they are a karaoke bar in the afternoons, and I will definitely be returning to check that out.

Overall (4.5/5)…read more Crack Shack definitely lived up to the recommendations from my family. The chicken was juicy, the fries were some of the best I've had, and the sides were surprisingly good too. A few minor downsides, but overall a really solid spot. First Impressions (4.5/5) Casual fried chicken spot that focuses on sandwiches, tenders, and comfort food. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving some good chicken. What We Got (5/5) * Firebird Sandwich Combo: Filling, juicy chicken with a good balance of toppings. Surprisingly, it wasn't very spicy, so I wish they let you choose your spice level. * Little Pecker Combo: Chicken tenders that were juicy and not overly breaded. Our order was missing one tender, but they kindly gave us another one. * Fries: Seriously some of the best fries I've ever had. Super crunchy, flavorful, and even better with the sauces. * Biscuits: Moist and covered in delicious garlic butter. Honestly reminds me of Red Lobster biscuits. * BBQ Sauce: Sweet and tangy, and pairs really well with the chicken. Taste and Quality (5/5) The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and not overly breaded. The fries were a huge standout with their crunch and flavor, and the garlic butter biscuits were delicious. The only minor issue was that the sandwich bread got a little crumbly, but the rest of the sandwich held together well. Service (4.5/5) They were kind and accommodating when our tender order was missing a piece, and they quickly made up for it. Space and Atmosphere (3.5/5) The main downside is that the seating is outdoors, which isn't ideal when it's raining. Parking was also limited. They have sauce stations, but since we ordered online for curbside pickup, we didn't get any sauces with our order. Was It Worth It (4.5/5) Definitely worth it for the quality of the chicken, amazing fries, and delicious sides. Just make sure to grab your sauces if you're ordering online. Final Thoughts Definitely one of the better fried chicken spots I've tried. The fries alone are worth mentioning, and the juicy chicken and garlic butter biscuits make it even better. I'd happily come back, preferably when the weather is nicer so I can enjoy the outdoor seating.

Located right next to Juniper & Ivy and opened by the same team, it's the perfect place when you're craving fried chicken in a more laid‑back setting. They're known for their fried chicken, and for good reason -- it's juicy, flavorful, and consistently good. One thing I love is the huge sauce bar, which lets you customize every bite. And don't skip the buns with the sweet butter -- so simple and so good. The space is great for groups and families, with large picnic‑style wooden tables, a bar area facing big screens for sports, and plenty of room to spread out. They also offer fresh‑baked cookies for dessert, which are worth saving a little room for. If you're looking for something on the healthier side, they've got you covered too. I ordered one of the bowls, and it was delicious -- packed with greens, seasoned chicken, pickled onions, egg, and plenty of fresh veggies. Overall, it's a fun, casual spot with great food, lots of seating, and something for everyone. A solid choice whether you're bringing the family, meeting friends, or just craving some really good chicken.

Our server was very attentive, which was especially nice since we were among the first customers there. A few things to note: there is a 90-minute dining limit, and everyone at the table shares the same seafood bag, so your group will need to agree on one sauce flavor per round. We only made it through two rounds, but everything we ordered was delicious. The fries were crispy, and the mussels, shrimp, and clams were all meaty. The sauce was flavorful and complemented the seafood well. We finished the meal with the fried Oreo and ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending. We'd definitely come back again for the AYCE experience!

We don't use much anymore, but I couldn't quite place it not really spicy just there. they use the standard jalapeños for spice, which I would think a specialty shop like this would've had you know spicy peppers. looks like it would be a good place if you had a party to have a little area for you guests. Going in if it's your first time might be a little confusing because there's a tacos shop right there and that looks like where you would go in Giorgino's door is a solid gray that you would think would be like a back door or maybe an old school speakeasy so it's blink and end up in the taco shop. For one person, I was shy of $30 I guess I would've expected more in the way of the actual food either more flavor it would be more sandwich. More fries, more flare in the actual dish.
