When we walked in, we saw a huge table of senior citizens, maybe about 20-30! We decided to stay. There was only one Bartender and one Waitress. The place was packed. We sat by the window seats-that was all that was left to sit at. The Waitress was very attentive(even though she was slammed). Today's special was shrimp baskets. Shrimp could be cooked three ways. I chose fried w/onion rings(fresh-not frozen rings) & and a 50/50 tea. My meal was delicious. Laura had blackened shrimp w/broccoli. We both enjoyed our meals and had a great conversation. I had $40.00 cash on me and Laura had a card to treat me, but the internet and card machine had just gone down. So I paid for the meal and tip. Laura Cash App'd me $40.00. Pros:big place with a very friendly atmosphere. Great service and food. Cons:it was out of their control that the machine went down. Recommend:Yes

But spend a few minutes inside and you'll…read morerealize it's also a quiet tribute to basketball culture, local loyalty, and unexpectedly onion ring excellence. I arrived unaware of its history, but the owner's love for basketball is unmistakable, and the locals reflect that same devotion... not just to the sport, but to the space itself. There's an ease here, a sense that people aren't just passing through. I took a seat at the bar, did what one does in such environments, and ordered an IPA. It was solid... confident, balanced, exactly what you'd hope for. But then came the onion rings, which I ordered based on a subtle but unmistakable social cue: everyone else seemed to be eating them. Reader, they were correct. These were not mere onion rings. These were structurally sound, texturally precise, and philosophically complete. Large, fully cooked onions, no trace of that unpleasant raw bite, encased in a crisp, golden coating that somehow maintained its integrity from first bite to last. Crunchy, consistent, and deeply satisfying. Naturally, I paired them with blue cheese dressing because I'm from upstate New York, and that is not a preference, it is doctrine.

Very casual space, the waitress was quick and super friendly. I tried the smoked bone in wings with the bourbon sauce it was perfection! I love a good old fashion wing and they smoke theirs in house.

Today my husband and I had a disappointing experience. We waited an inordinate time for the waitress who after about 5-10 minutes stopped for a few moments to tell us she would be back. No offer of drinks. Bit of a wait longer to place order. Order came without onion rings I'd ordered. She forgot to add them. She never checked to see if food was ok or make sure our drinks were refilled, which is a huge pet peeve. I got the onion rings after we were finished with meal and they are outrageously spicy. There is no mention of spicy batter on menu so it was very disappointing to have inedible side. Not to mention that my drink was empty which added to the misery. I did tell her when she finally came to table that I was disappointed in the service with lack of checking on us at all after food was delivered and she apologized and said she had double seating and also agreed that the onion rings do have quite a kick and that should be mentioned on menu. Overall disappointing

My wife stuck with water, I was told the drinks were pretty good, and the loaded fries were excellent. The band played well, the crowd was laid back and we all got along. My daughter and I goofed around doing the "wobble" while my son-in-law, Dawn, & Nanna all enjoyed the show.

Long story short, I returned the order, got no apology and the order came out again wrong and then the Bartender Omar, copped an attitude with me and here I've been tipping this guy for years.

We'd been there more than a few times back when it was Jax Craft Beer but this was our first time since they changed to The Cavern. The first thing we noticed was the huge, cool bar that's been added. We started with the House Made Pretzel. The pretzel itself was great and the beer cheese with it was excellent! I ordered the Basan with a few minor modifications. I asked for it without pickles or hot mustard. Everything else worked together really well on a good ground chicken patty.. The candied jalapeños added an especially unique touch. My wife ordered the Brick Burger which is super unique (menu pics in the comments). Like me, she liked how everything worked together. She said she might ask for no mashed potatoes next time though. They weren't bad, she just thought the burger would be just as good without it. We had the pleasure of meeting some of our group members while we were there, which was awesome. We also got to meet the owner, Aaron as well. He's a super nice guy who seems to really care about what they're doing at The Cavern. One final note: they were doing something while we were there that seemed really cool. On Saturdays, they do a beer sharing event. In short, people can buy an extra beer from the cooler that gets shared with everyone in the place by way of small sample size glasses. That's a super cool idea I've never seen anywhere else and it makes for a really cool community vibe. This was our first time at The Cavern Pub but it won't be our last.

The bar was pretty full when we arrived, so we took a seat on the couch for a second, before we decided to start browsing the beers in the frig and on the wall! Such an interesting place. I chose a beer to take home. Tyler the bartender introduced himself to me and we chatted a bit, and he took my order. Such a nice guy! The 1st time I ordered a Quad and the Gringo nachos. The bar was full, and people were shooting pool and playing darts. Tyler was the bartender again, and he remembered me. Then also the owner's son introduced himself to us. Such a good vibe here! I order a Quad, and it was on special for $4.99 a pint! Scored on that one! Also ordered the grilled cheese and sweet potato fries (I met to order the zucchini sticks) Next time! The Quad was great! I don't know why that grilled cheese was so freaking good! (it's just grilled cheese, right?) lol the sweet potato fries were also good but let me tell you about that made from scratch ranch dressing! Hidden valley ain't got nothing on this Ranch Dressing! It took those sweet potatoes fries to the next level They do run out of items, so make sure you have a 2nd option in mind! They also make from scratch, pretzels and perogies. If your Vegetarian they have: The grilled cheese, Gringo Nachos and Potato Perogies Tyler also said you can bring in food from other establishments.
