    Wings
    Jack R.

    Was really hoping for more from a this local chain sports bar but it just didn't deliver. Service was kind and friendly but the food took what seemed like forever to come out. For a relatively slow Sunday afternoon, we waiting a good 30-40 minutes just for the appetizers and then roughly the same for the main courses. Food wasn't anything special, food you would get at BWW or another chain spot. Wings were OK, not a ton of flavor or spice but they had a decent amount of meat on them. Pretzel was warm but somehow dry and overly salty, even on the parts we brushed the salt off.

    In the former Walnut Grove site, a new sports themed restaurant has taken its place. We started with French onion soup. It was piping hot, lots of onions, and unusual choice of spices. Would order again. We both ordered entree salads: Jerk Shrimp & Argula Salmon. Large portions. Would order again. We wanted to share dessert. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the brownie dessert. The edges of the brownie couldn't be broken up with a spoon. Hard as a rock. The center was warm and chocolately. Ample parking. Attentive wait staff.

    When this place opened we were excited for an alternative to some of the usual places, plus it's set up decently for watching a game every now and then. The first time we went was fine, although the music was loud as hell. Like club level loud on a relatively dead Tuesday evening. Whatever. Food wasn't too bad and prices were reasonable. Second time, food left a little to be desired, floors were sticky, but hey, it's 2025. What can you expect? Well, the third time, the fact that it's 2025 landed on our plates and I don't think we'll be back. Not for anything other than beers maybe. This time I ordered the Cheesesteak sliders. Now, I get that they're sliders. But this is an adult meal. When my plate arrived, it was about the same amount of food my kids got with their kids meal. I just shook my head and ate it. I wasn't going to raise a stink, but seriously - look at this sad display. Each was about 3 bites. Conevniently, the owners posted a picture - THEIR picture - of how they envision these things to be. I made an expectations vs. reality to show how pathetic this was. The pictures don't even do it justice. Yes - sliders are by definition smaller than a typical sandwich. But I can't stress enough how weak this was. Come on guys. I'll pay a couple extra bucks for an actual meal. I get shrinkflation, and I get that what you serve isn't going to match the picture all the time. But my god.

    We had a nice Thursday evening meal here; about 7pm. We asked to be seated on the patio and were shown to our table right away. Our sever Selena greeted us quickly and asked for our drink orders. The patio is a fun place to dine. Outside bar was not opened tonight but they have outside games to play which my daughter enjoyed playing with other guests. We had the Cobb Salad, Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with fries and the Bacon Cheeseburger Smash burger with Onion Rings. Our food came out pretty quickly and we throughly enjoyed all of our meals. I had the Hot honey Chicken Sandwich and it was cooked perfectly. The chicken was juicy and the hot honey one of the better ones I had. The shoestring fries were probably my favorite fry I've had in a while. The ranch is also perfect! I would love to return to try other menu items. This is a great place to just have a drink or order apps!

    Stopped in for lunch with my GF...and everything was decent...with one exception. The hostess and server were very nice. The service prompt and attentive. I had a shrimp app and the truffle fries. The shrimp and asian slaw - delish! The truffle fries...not so much. The fries were overcooked to the point of crispy like a potato chip. Noped out on even trying more that a few bites. My date enjoyed her French dip. The price was decent, and they did give a military discount. So...decent, but I'd avoid those fries.

    Anxious to visit Rival, the restaurant that occupies the space of the now defunct Walnut Grill ...WOW...the face lift was amazingly done in my favorite color...black..wasn't busy when we arrived... got a seat at the window where the half circle booths used to be now replaced with square bistro tables..menus brought quickly and drink orders taken then food choices made...I had the French Dip with Sweet Potato Tots with a Cajun Ranch Dip...OMG were they ever yummy...Paul ordered the Shotgun Shrimp Nd Truffle Fries ( overcooked and had consistency of splintered wood...would be wise to serve a thicker fry)...overall the atmosphere was upbeat...they even have a electronic dart board and pinball machines...gonna be another one of my favorites...

    It is a nice place to watch sports game and have a drink! I would say it was on the pricier side of drinks and food. They just opened so they only had one bar staff, the music was quite loud so they did not get my order right but I'm very easy on my food and enjoyed the fish anyhow. Food ranges from $15-$25 and drinks were $12-$17

    Pammie and I stopped after a St Margaret's visit... we were welcomed and seated with a smile...ordered our usual Bloody Mary...ordered Beer Battered Fish and Pammie the French Dip Sandwich both with Crispy tater tots....the service was great and so was our food...so much of it we took home our leftovers...

    I so very rarely leave negative reviews- and I wanted to love this new neighborhood spot. We've been saying for years that the area needed a sports bar. We were excited to try it and had high hopes given the owners are the same as the previous owners of Walnut Grill. The food and service were always solid there (shout-out to Peggy and Chyna!) Now it's been reimagined as new, fun spot with a cool theme, a creative menu and a LOT of TVs. Also, a snazzy outdoor area that is reportedly pet friendly and has a bunch of apparently waterproof TVs. So here's the thing. We sat at the bar, and ordered beers which were poured well and right away. They were not very busy so we ordered the loaded tots. Queso, cheese, bacon, scallion, sour cream. What's not to love? We waited. And waited. And waited- with no update ("hey-sorry those are taking so long", etc.) 40 minutes and we sat with empty beers. Finally the bartender (who was one of the other servers and things had gotten pretty busy, to be fair) said "something happened in the kitchen and they had to be remade " and the tots would be right up. They were-and they were barely warm. I won't say "cold" to be kind. At that point we just asked for them to be taken off and we were ready to go. We did expect maybe a comp on a drink- or at least an acknowledgment and apology-neither of which occurred. Probably should have asked for a manager- not to complain, just to point out the hiccup-since they are new and I'm sure working out kinks. We will try again and hope for a better experience. We hear it's pretty popular since it's new and would love to support another local chain from the owners of the multiple Walnut Grills and another Rival in Bridgeville.

    Pretzel

    I gave Rival a second chance. We sat on the side where it was a bit quieter and they did turn the music down and even off for a bit. With the noise not being a problem this time around, it was a much better experience. I do hope they get rid of the convenience fee and I do think they could lower their prices just a little. I also ended up trying out the pretzel during my last visit. I don't quite think it's worth $12 but it was a decent pretzel and definitely had some kind of butter seasoning on it that was fine.

Bocce. Not the most popular sport, but honestly a nice lackadaisical, recreational sport that accommodates all types of people. The facility is pristine (probably since it is relatively new)... but it hopefully stays this way! Six courts with different colored sets of balls. The carpet is smooth and rolls well with excellent foot paths and seating areas. The extras make the experience feel very professional with lane timers, measuring tapes, ball racks, and score keeping methods. Even down to the rules laid out including my favorite.. "No swearing in English" The bar area is also top notch! Self serve beer taps and wine taps (these are the coolest). Just tap your card and they have siphons that pull your wine right from the bottle.. and chilled glass coolers to enhance your experience. A dock for a food truck to pull right up to! They served us multiple pizza types (pepperoni, white, margherita, and pesto chicken), wings (honey barbecue and original), and french fries. They more than accommodated our group with ample refills of the food and a plethora of to-go containers at the ready to ensure that we took everything home! I grabbed an Orange Crush from the bar and it was refreshing with a strong amount of alcohol. The bartenders are used to their Italian crowd, so they aren't messing around. They also have a cigar lounge, party room, merch store, slot games, and a clear Italian pride. The logo and decor is strongly covered in the Italian flag.

The pizza was also phenomenal. We both ordered a white pizza with our preferred toppings, and we couldn't get enough. The thin, crispy crust was excellent.

The place was nice, the upstairs space looked amazing. The pop was strong and needed to be brixed and have the syrup to carbonated water mix adjusted and might need a new cabonator as well. Wait staff was friendly and welcoming. Tons of TVs in the place on every wall but a lot were not on. Though plenty were. I got the open face hot turkey sandwich, my wife got the Rueben and subbed for white bread. We got potato skins for our appetizer. I ordered chicken noodle soup with my meal. The potato skins were delicious and cooked perfectly! The sour cream was even made better with some dried chives. The chicken noodle soup was a little thicker and creamy and delicious. I enjoyed every bite! The hot turkey was ok, the bread was burnt and hard which made it hard to enjoy. The Rueben was ok, the meat was very hard/tough. Hard to chew but the taste was ok. She really loved the chips and french onion dip. It appeared to be homemade and it was the best one she ever had and she's sort of an French dip aficionado. Overall I would probably go back again, it was a decent time and we really liked the atmosphere.

Did we listen? Not before, but now that we have been there, we can't wait to go back. From the outside, Carnivores looks like a dive bar. But au contraire, the place is actually NOT a dive bar at all. It's definitely a nice local restaurant/bar that has a Cheers vibe. Several of the tables had Reserved signs on them and I figured out that groups of people must have been gathering for NCAA Championship. Nevertheless, we were seated quickly and our orders were taken quickly and we were served piping hot food quickly. Fresh cut fries are one of my weaknesses and I couldn't resist ordering them along with the Jimbo sub which has shaved ribeye steak, hot sausage, provolone, mushrooms, onions and lettuce and tomatoes. Definitely a delicious gut-buster! And the fresh cut fries? Yeah, it was a boss move to order those to go with! If you're a beer drinker, this place is also for you because they have 8,000 different types of brands. Seriously, you can get your beer on with quite a number of varieties. We will definitely come back because of the fresh cut fries and affordable prices.

If I had some bread, I'd definitely use this as a dip lol. We got the thin crust Sicilian pizza to share. The pizza unfortunately was very wet and kind of soggy. I think they could have waited to let it rest for a few min before serving because it would especially show when we were separate the slices and try to take one off the plate. I don't usually want my toppings and cheese to just slide off the pizza. Also since we were at a bar w/ some of the games going on, we wanted wings and got their crispy whole wings in a dry spice rub. They were pretty big wings and well seasoned -- not too spicy though if that's not your vibe.
