I'm so sorry to be leaving this review and especially without any photos!…read more Racks has been a happy hour 'safe bet' for a while. It's close to the office, has a laid back vibe and the food has always been reliable. Our experience this evening was enough for us to say, "never again." Walking in - the first observation - mildew smell. I'm not sure if they're battling water in the restaurant or straight up, mold, but it wasn't pleasant. Secondly, our waitress... well, let's just say she had two MAJOR distractions. Her kids were spending the night with her at work! As 5-7 year olds typically are, they were antsy, running around and likely hungry. She was visibly frustrated at the situation and I genuinely felt bad for her, but this impacted our service in a BIG way! I will say, she filled our (relatively simple) orders accurately, but not timely. There's just better options. Oh! Unless you want to see butt cheeks, like full on buttocks (regardless of the time of day), I would avoid Racks on a professional dime.

First and foremost, thank you Juan for taking very good care of me while I was dining. Very…read moreattentive and pretty good recommendations. This restaurant is stunning. I sat in the corner and ordered up Chilaquiles Rojo with my eggs being over medium. Honestly, one of the best chilaquiles and it's a newly added item. Go me! Coffee was good and I did ask for a few different hot sauces. I have to say the Garlic habanero was nowhere near being hot for my fiery taste. I'm appreciative of the discount that was given due to my company and when I come back again (which most likely I will) I will be dining here again.

I've been here before and had better experience, so this might be a one-off, but last night the…read moreservice was absolutely atrocious. Slow.... Waited WAY too long for every step in the process. Ordering...getting the food...checking back...getting the check. Brutal The food was mostly good. Portions are small for some items, like the gnocchi (seriously, how expensive is flour...for almost $20, we should get more that 18 pieces). My burger was great and the sweet potato tots were crisp and delicious Just can't get over how bad the service was.

The JAWS pinball machine was hard to activate, but after bringing it quarters to eat it was ready. There is also a digital golf game next to it. The service is good - people are nice. It's what you would expect for a Midwest bowling ally and bar/eatery. The eating area is very spacious so you have plenty of places to sit. The menu has an overwhelming amount of choices, but when you are drinking it becomes more of an exciting fun house to navigate. I thought that may mean the food would be average, but it was DANG delicious bar food. We got the BLT that is stacked with bacon and it is definitely one of the best BLTs I've had in a while. Crunchy tots. Big parking lot. Free parking.

Good tasting Typical bar food with mediocre service…read more We opted to sit outside on their patio which was big with plenty of seating overlooking the sand volleyball courts. However, the entire patio is smoker friendly, so there was cigarette smoke smell that wafted throughout the entire meal. When we initially sat down the entire table was covered in cigarette ashes and a full ashtray, but they cleaned that up before our food came. (After we asked two wait staff) Service was slow and we did not get drink refills during our meal. The food was good and on our appetizers (potato skins, and garlic cheese bread) they did not skimp on the cheese as both were covered in delicious melted mozzarella. Pricing was very fair for the amount of food we received as well. TL:DR- good food at a good price, but sub par service and a Smokey patio

The atmosphere was also great and made for a really enjoyable evening. The only reason I can't give 5 stars was the service. We barely saw our actual server beyond taking our order and bringing the check. At one point we had to ask three different employees just to get water, and it finally arrived after we had already finished our appetizers. Everyone was polite, but the attentiveness just was not there. That said, the food was good enough that I'd still come back and give them another shot, because the kitchen is clearly doing something right.

I ate them with mustard and were delicious. The atmosphere is such a dive bar filled with Elvis and Marlyn Monroes. It looks like they are trying to make it kid friendly with a stack of picture books in the corner. A good place for small and large group of people. The waitress was sweet and accommodating. Bonus: they have a billiard table and good sized televisions.

Enter through the Burger spot and look for the Coca Cola machine! Once you enter Volstead House, you can't help but be transported into what feels like a Spirit Library. A huge accent wall lined from floor to ceiling with spirit bottles is the perfect back drop to this cozy hang out. Perfect for a date night, friend catch-up, or solo Whiskey adventure, Volstead House is a vibe! Pair the atmosphere with top notch, educated bartenders and mixologists...you know you'll be taken care of! We started with the A La Louisiane, a spirit-forward, whiskey cocktail with some funk from Peychauds and Absinthe. It was delicious and well balanced. We also shared the Glazed Carrots and the Parm Fries. The carrots didn't hit for me, as the glaze and sauce lacked a punch of flavor but the fries were crispy and delicious. If you have a spirit enthusiast or someone that likes to explore the world of cocktails, I think this is the perfect vibe!

Finally crossed off Volstead House from my A-Z restaurant list, and honestly this one was more…read moreabout the experience than the food for me. First off, going through the hidden Coke machine entrance is actually really fun and makes the whole place feel like a little adventure. The decor and speakeasy atmosphere are definitely the standout. Very cool space. VERY loud though. Like "lean across the table and say WHAT?" loud at times. The waitress was super nice and recommended a mocktail for me that called Ass in the Sand. It ended up being really good. It tasted like an elevated lemonade and was probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. Started with the rolls and whipped honey butter which were delicious. Very soft, warm, and honestly dangerous because I could've just kept eating bread all night. For the main meal, I did the Wagyu Burger with Parmesan fries. The burger itself was okay but surprisingly didn't have a ton of flavor outside of the grilled/charred taste. The Parmesan fries were actually the standout for me -- hand cut fries and parmesan fries are just hard to mess up. My partner tried the Mushroom Soup en Croute and wasn't a fan because the mushrooms were blended and he said it lacked flavor. He also had a Steak Taco special using their medallion steak and said even with lime it still needed more flavor. Finished with Crème Brûlée which is always a classic favorite for me and this one was good. Overall: fun experience, cool hidden entrance, great decor, good mocktail and bread, but the actual food menu is pretty limited and the flavors didn't totally wow me for the price. Glad I went and finally crossed it off my list, but probably a one-and-done visit for me.
