So when this place first opened, we were in love. Whenever we went there, it was busy, but service…read morewas still attentive and the food is delicious. It's been a little bit of time since we've been there, but this has always been a place on top of our recommendation if somebody is coming to town it's where we would take them to show them a good meal and when other people ask for recommendations for a nice place for dinner, it's what we would tell them fast-forward now I think a couple years later from the initial opening and we don't come quite often just bc we have some new favorites, but it was Sunday night Labor Day weekend and we didn't know where to go so we ended up here. They admitted when we first walked in that they were shortstaffed totally fine and I'm happy to sit in the bar area. Truthfully, we don't come as often because they got rid of my husband's favorite oxtail Birria burger, but we do bring friends here for brunch. Anyway, we were here for dinner on Sunday night. Service was short staffed like they had mentioned and we sat at a high top in the bar area. We started off by ordering a hard seltzer and a carajillo. My seltzer came out rather slow, but it took probably another 10 minutes for my husband to get his drink and when they brought it out, they brought two like they were confused on how many we ordered so we kept the one and then they ended up giving ours I think to what I'm assuming with some friends the owner at the bar not a problem but one thing that I did notice is that there were a lot of "friends at the bar" it definitely gave that kind of vibe they were doing shots with a patron, gave our incorrect food order to another, were testing a new cocktail recipe I think with some. They were sharing drinks with some patrons. It's probably a nice gig if you're friends with these people and I'm not hating on it. Then we ordered our food. I ordered some Mezcal lime wings, and my husband ordered the grits when my food came out the waitress brought a burger and a salad and we had to tell her that wasn't our food. Then we waited another extra five minutes for my husband's food to come out and it did. I will say the quality of the food hasn't changed. The wings were delicious. They were crispy and they were well seasoned, and my husband really enjoyed his food, but it was the lack of service throughout the meal that really hit home for me that we probably won't be coming back as often and maybe just for brunch. It was such a weird experience to feel like because we were paying we were getting worse service than those who were getting free drinks and such but I can't complain because the food was good if the service was bad and the food was bad I'd be leaving a lower review but I can't give any higher than three stars if there was a 3 1/2 I'd leave it, but I almost never write negative reviews for places, but this really struck a nerve for me. I think because we came a little bit before 7 PM. It's not as if they were closing in 20 minutes. I could understand poor service for that, but I didn't really see why the service was so poor looking around. It's just a bit confusing, I guess.

My PREGNANT girlfriend ordered a mocktail that was too tart and only drank a couple sips. But not the end of the world. I got the Mexican lager which was fine. Food time! We shared the loaded fries and the smash burger. Everything tasted great until about 10:30-11 pm that night. We both became very ill and had a VERY LONG night. Pretty bummed all things considered.

I will not post the price here, so as to give them the courtesy of our changing times, but I will tell you that you cannot find a glass of Austin Hope Cab for anything near their WW price!

First time here on a Saturday night and it was great!…read more We tried a beer and a seltzer - both crisp, cold, and refreshing. Blueberry and the raspberry lemonade - perfect on a hot day. Great flavor and so smooth. Food was really great - our table ordered the Buffalo chicken dip (huge portion of chips and the dip was delicious) for an appetizer- I think it arrived in three minutes. Carne asada tacos, fries and farmhouse salad with chicken and the beef sandwich were all super tasty. We had to try a dessert and it was hard to pick just one as they all sounded so good - landed on the apple crisp and it was perfect and the best warm caramel sauce. Food is fresh, good quality and everything was great. Service for drinks was the fastest I've ever encountered in any restaurant- seriously! For as large as this place is, they have it running like a machine with food runners and wait staff choreographed perfectly. It's also a neat atmosphere, lots of tables, full bar and good vibe. We enjoyed our meal and overall experience. Highly recommend.

But most importantly... the beers! I love their light blondes/lager, the Mexican and Italian ones are fantastic! My mom loves their IPA (the "Deep Rooted"). Regulars are very friendly as well.

No. I walked in and the center of the floor had already been cleared to get the line dancing going. I paid for my $10 fee at the bar. Got my bright bracelet placed on me and got on the floor. We (I) learned 4 different line dances before I went to the bar to get my bottled water. I was told that the bottled water is free for those taking lessons! The servers at the bar were friendly. The instructor was great at giving dance instructions. It was very easy to listen and follow his instructions. After I sat down, I decided that after the first break at learning a couple more new line dancing moves I was done for the night. I chose to sit and enjoy some chat time with friends and watching everyone dance. I really enjoyed the vibe going on here. The place was very packed with line dancing peeps! Tables filled up quick but there were side tables along the wall that were available. This place is pet friendly. There were a coupe of pups on leash with their owners. Parking is available. Some are 2 hour limit and some unlimited time. I would lie to come back and enjoy some beer next time. You can count on me returning here.

They got the ambience and facility though. These guys know how to build, run and manage a family friendly sports bar. Service is solid, they have on all the games and lots of beers. The food is overpriced mediocre bar food and they sneak in fees wherever they can to turn your $20 burger into a $24 burger. But who doesn't do that nowadays. They are owned by the Cohn restaurant group which is notorious for Cisco supplied food but they got the decor and environment you want to hang out in for a long time. There is a reason they own so many spots and do so well. I will keep paying twice the price here than go somewhere cheaper and being around miscreants and degenerates. Appreciate them reaching out too to my review.

Second there's not much else around meaning it's about a half a mile from Vista Village. I came during the week and there was only about ten people there. The bartender was VERY cool and so helpful!!!!!! He explained how to pronounce the beers and he didn't make me feel stupid about it. One beer that I really liked was this vanilla beer so I'm a huge fan of Mother's Earth Cali Creamin so when I tasted their vanilla cream it wasn't as sweet but was damn good at the same time. This location is pretty small but big enough not to be sitting on top of people. I loved the inside it was very clean with a lot of wood. So I'm going to make this a regular spot in Vista!!!!
