This hole in the wall bar is such a fascinating spot with a dive bar vibe with exceptional food. The bartenders are always sweet and friendly. Such a great spot for anyone looking for delicious food with a tasty beverage.

$10 Monday special.
Jan D.

Second visit to this Dive bar. Friendly service. Limited menu but sometimes that's a good thing. I got the Monday special, burger and fries with a beer, $10. Fries were great, hot, not greasy, plenty of them. The burger was dismal, cooked to death, dry as a bone, and unseasoned. The bun was fresh. My partner's double burger was just like mine, tasteless. Won't be going back.

Philly Cheesesteak
Daniel M.

This was a fun random find thanks to Yelp! We were on a late night prowl for drinks and billiard. We showed up on a Friday night and had several drinks, got our billiard craving on, and they were doing karaoke. The chef was really nice and we decided to try some of his eats. I like that the kitchen can be seen in plain view. The series "Bar Rescue" has me scarred if a kitchen at a bar is behind closed doors. We ordered a double cheeseburger and Philly cheesesteak along with a bucket of beers, a few shots of jamo, and some mixed drinks. Great experience -- from friendly staff, great chef, and a lively sociable crowd. It's also a close-by spot from work and on my Happy Hour list to unwind on those Mondaze.

The front entrance

The only good thing here is the waitresses provide good service, and that's where it ends. We wondered why they have no menu online, and it's clear because they have no variety in their food. Seriously, there are about four items on the menu: burgers, nachos, tacos and wings. Aside from that, food is expensive and they had no drink specials. A basic burger with fries is $16. You could go literally a half mile away to the Irishmen and have $2 beers, better prices on everything and much greater selection. The worst part of it is they whack you with a 3% junk fee for using a debit card. Yes, not even a credit card, a debit card where they get charged nearly nothing to process it. Needless to say, we won't be going back to this overpriced dive bar that nickels and dimes you.

Steak and gin

Exceptional food. one of the best bar food I've ever had. Would definitely come back for the food.

bacon cheese burger

First time here with my boyfriend. We sat at the bar! Kaylee was our waitress! She was such a sweetheart, and I don't know how she was taking care of everyone! I asked her what to drink. She said she can make anything, so I asked does she make a better margarita or mai tai. She said people complain her mai tai is too strong HAHA so of course I chose that! I thought she was joking around but NO! Amazingly strong drink! I got medium wings. The bf got a bacon cheese burger. I enjoyed my wings. My bf said the burger was just ok. The meat was mushy? But the fries were good! I would definitely go back for the wings and drink!

Just not worth it. Of course on their Facebook page they show these amazing looking wings and then you get something ultra small.

The smallest wings ever! Used to be Surf Cafe and it's nicer inside than that place was but the food is horrible.

We found this place for lunch via Yelp after looking at dive bars that serve food. It's not really divey, but it's certainly a sports bar with lots of big screen TVs, pool tables, and dart boards, and a huge bar. Since everyone was sitting at the bar, we did too. As others have stated, we were immediately made to feel comfortable. The people sitting on either side introduced themselves to us. Everyone was chatty and friendly. And the bartender/server, Casey (pronounced like KC and the Sunshine Band) was so personable. Taking into consideration all of the above, it was so nice that two ladies walking into a bar could feel safe, welcomed, and get a good meal. So we ordered a couple appetizers to share. We got their loaded potatoes skins and chicken wings with honey bbq sauce. Both were very good. Messy but tasty. We got full fast so wound up taking half home. Prices are pretty reasonable. Drink prices are very inexpensive. They even have specials if you sign up for their frequent visitor card... In any case, I'd definitely come back when next in the area. Heard their burgers are very good, too.

I have been to Tall Boy twice. The food is OK, but the fries and onion rings are very greasy and rubbery- as in Old Grease.

Nice little dive bar! Good wings and a surprisingly good chicken wrap. Plus hand cut fries for the win. Definitely worth a try.

What happened to the Cuban food menu?

I’m sorry Bernadette, that chef left about 6 months ago, so we changed our menu to a more American, sports bar style one.

Is there any beer specials besides the buckets?

I'm not sure because when I went I had liquor drinks.

Are patrons allowed to smoke inside?

Hey Charles, not inside, but there’s a patio out front with tables and chairs where you can smoke.

Located in the new restaurant row in front of Boca Town Center and in between El Camino and Motek. There's free parking in the lot, it can get crowded but there's always a spot. As soon as I walked up to the hostess stand I was impressed. We had a nice table outside. Service was better than excellent. Our server John took good care of us and didn't miss a beat. As a matter of fact, the entire staff was amazing and attentive. Ambience as nice and the food was special Each dish was better than the one before. The menus is creative inspired Indian with some Asian fusion mixed in. A little something for everyone. We ordered 2 entrees. The Wood Grilled Spanish Octopus and the Chicken Masala. We were sharing both and started with the Octopus. It was so tender and served on top of crispy potato and with a green apple nuoc cham - a vibrant tart dipping sauce. They had me here, it was so good. The the Chicken Masala came out. This was one of the best Chicken Tikka dishes, I've had. Not too spicy and so flavorful. I was so impressed. Not only was the food and service on point, but the next morning I got an email from the restaurant thanking me for dining. Now thats excellent customer service. A fabulous addition to Mid-Boca and I can't wait to go back.

Maybe it's quieter outside but those tables are right next to the street. We had to yell to hear each other. Our server Sebastian was so pushy and constantly upselling us. As soon as we sat down, he asked whether we wanted still or sparkling water, but that question should always have 3 options: still, sparkling, or tap? He then recommended the signature omakase, the most expensive thing on the menu. When he came back to take our order, he made a big pitch of today's rib special. When my husband ordered the 8-piece nigiri, he pushed us to upgrade to the 12-piece option. As we were eating, he asked us what else we wanted to order. We ordered $130 of food for 2 people...seriously? We hadn't even finished yet to gauge if we were still hungry. I know that tips are a percentage of the bill, but you would've thought this kid was getting a commission on top of his tip or something. It rubbed us the wrong way. The tuna crispy rice was $5 per piece and the rice was weirdly chewy. Wouldn't order it again. The nigiri were the highlight of the meal. Each piece felt balanced and the sushi rice was good. We ordered 3 rolls: toro toro, scallop, and yellowtail. All were forgettable and expensive for what they were. The yellowtail roll was bland, which is probably why there's a chili ponzu sauce to go with it because otherwise all you can taste is pear, which isn't a flavor I'm looking for in sushi. We ended our meal with scallop tacos, which were good but microscopic and pricey ($17 for 2 tacos). Each one is a bite and a half. It took a while to flag down Sebastian for the bill, so we were stuck in the din of the restaurant for longer than we liked. If the restaurant's filling up, wouldn't you want to turn our table and seat new guests? My husband made a note on the res that it was my birthday, but it was ignored. Maybe we would've had a better experience with a different waiter, but this was a disappointing meal and service.
