    I'm giving it a 1 star bc the food is mid. The chicken is so thin I can't even taste it in the sandwich.

    The chicken sandwich on line was $13.00 but when I got there it was $16.00. And then the onion ring appetizer was $7.00 and I got 7 small onion rings. So with tax and 2.00 tip my total was $31.88. I won't be back.

    New bar in Allen so had to make an appearance. When I go to a neighborhood bar for a day drink I want to be able to talk with the person that I'm with and not have to yell. That's for night life. The volume of the music was so annoyingly loud playing Taylor Swift-type music that it was all I could think of. Three stars, I suppose, for quick service. Menu looked like uppish scale bar food but I probably won't be back to taste it. Careful leaving anything less than 5 stars or the very professional management will trash you.

    This place was not at all what I imagined it would be... and on a Friday night! A friend and I came in during Happy Hour and it was very dead. The bartender was very nice who served us and the happy hour drink specials were good. We were starving when we arrived, but found that the menu was very limited. The bartender responded saying "it's bar food". I settled on the Mac and cheese and added bacon. Boy!... Did I feel gypped! I have never had such bland tasing Mac and cheese! I did not feel like making "a thing" of it at the time, and I was starving, so I just ate the noodles along with the few strips of bacon so I could get some flavor with each bite. Definitely not worth what I spent on it. I honestly do not know that I'd ever come back.. I certainly won't be getting the Mac and cheese.. totally underwhelmed by this place.

    Shakertins has a great space and atmosphere with lots of TVs, pretty excited they had every single football game going. The food was decent and they have great deals on drinks, not a bad consideration for your local go to bar! The only reason I brought down some starts is because they don't have much social distancing and the staff was not wearing mask when we were there. Easy to improve and hope they can adjust.

I ate the Asian barbecue chicken sandwich and it was phenomenal. The breading was great, the sauce was delicious, and the contents complimented each other nicely. Another member of my group ate the fish and chips, also complimenting the breading. I would advise getting a fried dish here as it was delicious. The ambience was average bar type decor.

So, we thought - why not, it's close- let's go and see if we like it better this time. Let's start with the positives. We arrived shortly after 5pm and the place was pretty empty so we were seated right away. The server was friendly and immediately took our drink orders. She was attentive and service was fast. No complaints with her service at all. It seemed pretty chill and low key. A few people trickled in but nothing crazy for a Saturday night. We ordered the pretzel appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised. The color of the pretzel had me fooled. It was pretty dark in color which usually indicates overdone and hard so when it was amazingly soft inside - wow! So good! We loved the mustard and cheese sauce that came with it. My husband and son ordered a burger and said they were tasty, my other son ordered the chicken strips and said they were good. Negative for the meal, I ordered the blackened cod tacos and subbed the chips and salsa for the Gilroy Garlic Fries. I was very excited for the garlic fries since we are originally from that area and are very knowledgeable about the famous Gilroy Garlic Festival and all things Garlic. Here's where this dish wasn't exciting - the tacos were pretty bland. I took the coleslaw from my son's chicken tenders to try and add more flavor and make the taco more palatable. I only ate 1 of the 2 because there really was just zero flavor. The fries were probably an even greater disappointment. In the center, was a very small amount of cheese and maybe garlic? It had virtually zero garlic taste - I was searching for it. It was a sad version of garlic fries. I would not order that again unless they were improved upon. I went back and forth on 3 stars versus 4 stars because while service was great and fast, I can't confidently say I'd recommend it to someone. I may say it's a great place to chill for a beer and an appetizer but definitely NOT a meal. I think if your expectations are to stick with the appetizer list then you're probably going to like it. They have a large beer selection and plenty of screens for your favorite games.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with TVs for games, live music on weekends, and plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The layout is thoughtfully designed, with patio seating, fire pits, and outdoor activities that make it feel like more than just a typical brewery. The drink selection is a standout. Even if beer isn't your thing, there are solid cocktail and mocktail options. The beer lineup itself is strong, featuring a mix of American and European styles. One thing to note is that serving sizes tend to be on the smaller side, with only a few options available in a 0.5L stein. Service has been consistently friendly and efficient. Food and drinks often arrive very quickly, even during busier times, which is a big plus. The food is good overall but falls into the "solid bar food" category. There are a few highlights, like the cheese curds, which are excellent and a clear favorite. Other dishes such as fish and chips, mac and cheese, and soup are enjoyable but not especially memorable. The burgers are a bit of a letdown, and some of the higher-priced items, like the salmon and short ribs (which resemble more of a chuck roast), are better found elsewhere. Overall, Armor Brewing is a fun, reliable spot to grab a drink and enjoy a lively atmosphere. While the food can be inconsistent and leans toward average bar fare, the drinks, service, and overall experience make it worth coming back.

I went for a Crushed Velvet Mule in addition to Cali, Buffalo (both grilled versions) and Burg B Q. We told our server that between me and my wife, we will be sharing the chicken sandwich and hence requested that it be sliced into 2. Not only were the burgers sliced, it was served in separate plates with sides as well - that was a really nice touch. Cali was a bit bland, Buffalo and Burg B Q were both really nice. The drink was nice as well. There was live music but we were seated near a table that was pretty boisterous, could hardly hear anything. The outdoor seating overlooking greenery and events they do at the restaurant make the place quite different - we will definitely be back soon to try other options on the menu.
