    Phew. Beware establishments were the proprietorship is listed on the door, but the kitchen manager has been hastily scraped off. I ordered a sirloin steak and Bleu salad, expecting a nice manly meat slab on a bed of mixed greens. What showed up was 3 oz of raw steak and meteors of gorgonzola on a bed of curly endive so thick you'd swear it was a field in Gilroy. I table tossed it and tried a bite. I expected the tasty meats and Bleu dressing. What it came off as was an uncut choad that's so small that the ball hair coarse endive growing up the sides gags you- and as a bonus, the head comes back and you get the schmegma like blue cheese concoction as a parting gift. Mixed greens means a lot of things. This wad of late season stalky endive is not it. I've never looked at a companions arugula and beets and said to myself: I'm jealous. To wash this travesty down with, they brought me an alleged blue sapphire and tonic: which was actually some sort of gin with flat sprite. Zero bubbles, and sweet. Not for nothing, asked for a slab of ribs to go as I was starving, and got informed they were out of French fries. Not that I eat French fries, but what sort of Sysco centric kitchen runs out of fries? Please hire a food and beverage manager, or your restaurant is gonna die. The manager in congeniality comped a whopping $5. Used to be a decent place. Now it's just a glittery shithole.

    Definite improvements!! In the past I've had some negative experiences at Sparkies (undercooked burger, overcooked steak) but in the last year or so we gave it another try and so far all our recent experiences have been good! So I'm back to recommending Sparkies again. Last night the three of us ordered the mozzarella wedges, and three entrees. All were very good. I had the ahi tuna bowl and it was good -- spicy and flavorful. My wife had the quesadilla with chicken and mango and it was good, and my daughter had the chicken parm sandwich which had a pesto on top of it. All in all, a good experience.

    Had what was quite possibly the best ribs and fries I've ever had today. The fries were super crispy and tasty and the ribs were fall off the bone tender. I had them with honey molasses barbecue sauce which was sweet and a bit spicy. My husband had the jambalaya and thought it was delicious as well. Our server was fast and friendly. There were a lot of people in the restaurant for an early dinner so it was a bit loud, but not too loud for conversations.

The accompanying fries were equally tasty and very well made with a very nice crunchy texture. At $10 for a1/2 lb burger and fries, especially ones made this well, This is a great deal by any standard! I also got two cocktails, an old-fashioned and a margarita. The old-fashioned was just OK in my opinion and needed a tad more sweetness based on how I like my drink. The margarita on the other hand was very good with the base being Hornito's Blanco. Nice! Price was quite fair at $10 a cocktail, but not as great of a deal as the hamburger and fries were. Relative to the business itself and the staff, the business is a no-frills blue-collar type bar/restaurant where it would appear to have a loyal clientle. It appears to be a mix between an Irish bar and a sports bar as there are a lot of TVs scattered about to watch the big game. Staff was quite friendly where the waitresses knew a lot of the customers by name. Again very nice! If you are looking for a good burger bar with inexpensive prices, then look no further than this joint. This may have been my first trip here, but it definitely will not be my last!

There doesn't seem to be anything "special" about this chicken. It's the way they serve it that sets them apart-- piled on top of things, or things piled on top of the chicken. Sandwiches, fries, tacos, bowls, salads, mac & cheese... you name it, they'll put their chicken on it! Once they introduced pulled pork, Taco Tuesday specials, and unique takes on salads, the menu opened up for me! (Not everyone loves fried chicken, so they cater to us all!) I haven't tried as many items as my husband, but I do love their salads, waffle fries, and sides. He devours anything and everything they offer, especially the tacos, sandwiches, and mashed potatoes. ND's staff is extremely friendly, always accommodating, and they keep the restaurant clean and sanitary. Our orders are consistently made fast and fresh, which is why we keep coming back! Never any issues getting carryout here... There was only one time when we got home and they forgot the ranch dressing we asked for. (Only disappointed because it's SO GOOD!!) We can't wait to see what they come up with next, and will continue to pop in for carryout from time to time! (I'm hoping they introduce flatbreads soon!!!)

The food and drinks are reliably tasty and consistent, and the service is fast and friendly. The expansive menu offers something for everyone-- classic bar fare with a twist, build-your-own pizza, lots of healthy options, and if you have any food issues, they can and will accommodate you. Some of my favorite menu items-- fresh & unique salads, wraps, and sandwiches, plus some of the best parmesan garlic boneless wings I've ever had. We've tried several different dishes over the years, and have never been disappointed. Their ranch dressing is a must-have add-on (even if you're just dipping your fries or wings... it's so good!) And they can really shake up a solid margarita! The building is huge, as it is an athletic complex with a games area, gym, and banquet center. The bar and restaurant space is in the front, offering plenty of bar, booth, and tabletop seating for both small and large groups. We avoid the nights when the corn hole/fowling area is being utilized because it tends to get so loud from all the people playing & cheering, you can't even hear yourself think! All in all, The Lift remains one of our go-to spots for a quick meal that satisfies! Bring your friends, hang out, watch a game, and grab some grub! :)
