    Beef tacos a very generous sized lunch that traveled very well
    Dan S.

    Grabbed a quick to go lunch. Settled on the beef tacos. They were very tasty and a very generous portion. A very tasty lunch that travels well and the nice side of tortilla chips and salsa was a surprising addition. I have Ben here several times and I like the feel of the place nice covered outdoor patio and solid draft selection

    Oh it's beer
    Mike T.

    Made a quick stop here before going to a CC meet. It's a traditional sports bar setup. Great beer selection - scan the QR Code to get the full deal. We got the dip trio which was good - salsa was a little sweet for my taste but the buffalo chicken dip and queso were delicious. I got the bacon cheeseburger and fries. Fries were OK - nothing to go on about. My wife got the Left Coast Chicken but subbed out the grilled chicken for chicken fingers. That's the play. The guacamole was fresh and delicious on it.

    This restaurant is affiliated with Double days which has became one of our common go tos .. both have big portions. I always get the famous fried chicken salad with cherries and almonds. Omg yummm and enough for 2 people or 2 meals.

    Naked boneless wings

    Had a great experience here. Shown is the boneless salad with barbecue chicken, the grilled boneless Buffalo wings and fries. Food was all good, service was great. The restaurant was neat and clean. Can get a bit loud if there's a lot of people. One tip would be to repair some of the seats. My seat had a huge tear right in the middle.

    Doubleday's Old School Hat Trick Sandwich

    Haven't been in a while and decided to stop in with my husband and sister-in-law for some dinner before going to see Christmas lights. I wish I could remember the name of our server because he was incredibly friendly, had wonderful suggestions, and was an all-around nice guy. I had the chicken chili. My husband had fish and chips and my sister-in-law had. I think it was called the shipwreck. Our food was so good. That chili was incredible. Had white beans in it chicken no fat the sauce was incredibly yummy. Had a little bit of a spice to it, but not overpowering. The fish and chips were cooked to perfection according to my husband. And my sister-in-law ate her sandwich and said it was delicious. wasn't very busy we were seated quickly places kind of got a really cool vibe. You can watch sports if you want to or just sit and chat with your family and friends. I guess I had forgotten what a great little place. This was just down the street from where we live. We'll have to make it a point to return more often

    Fast service, with some of the best burgers! Very fresh meat reminds me of In and Out.

    The Pottsville Coney Style tots are worth the trip alone. Everything I've eaten there has exceeded expectations.

    Do they take reservations?

    No, but if you have a party of 6+, it is smart to call ahead

    I recently ordered delivery from this restaurant! I ordered the Classic Smash Burger which comes…read morewith an order of fries and your choice of dipping sauce. I chose the Chipotle Ketchup. The Classic Smash Burger consists of two all beef patties on a sesame seed bun. The burger was cooked very well, was cheesy and very flavorful! The fries were seasoned well and are shoestring style. They were good. Not too oily and very plentiful. The chipotle ketchup was okay but not really what I was expecting. It is a bit spicy, perhaps too much to my liking, but I am sure many people would enjoy it. Everything was carefully placed in a nice cardboard box lined with brown paper and sealed. The order itself was placed in a brown paper bag. I do recommend. Food is good, plentiful, and a decent value compared to other chain type restaurants! I would go again as they have a pretty decent selection of food and this experience was good. Recommended!

We definitely understood the situation, but our waitress was really overwhelmed and neglected her outside tables! When we received our food, it was not as good as we expected, especially for the price that we paid. We will not be returning. We have spoken to other friends that have also had the same experience. No pictures worth sharing.

They have a great selection of food on the menu, so was just right for our group. I enjoyed the buffalo chicken wrap with blue cheese dressing and loaded mashed potatoes, others in our group enjoyed wings, soup & salad, salmon sandwich and chicken quesadillas. Our food was served hot from the oven & was so good. Great service, and our waitress filled our soda, tea & water several times. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.

    I came here again with my girlfriend the day before Thanksgiving 2023. Having previously ordered…read morehere on DoorDash, I wanted to see what in-house dining was like. The restaurant is located in a strip mall area off of Stroop road. It's near the Vapor Haus vape shop and the Speedway gas station that sits at the corner of Stroop and Marshall Rd. If you pass that Speedway, you've gone too far. Inside, the restaurant has a typical sports bar vibe. It's well lit, clean but nothing spectacular. The menu does offer a variety of choices. Service is really good. We were seated fast and orders were taken shortly afterwards. I got the fish and chips. The deep fried fish was good but average in my opinion. The fries were tasty. It satisfied my hunger but it was just average to me. My girlfriend got the chili bowl with jalapeño cornbread. She liked it but again felt it was average fare. The portions are pretty big but bigger doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I will probably try again but I think the burgers are a better option than the fish and chips. There was a decent sized crowd here, so TJ Chumps is doing something right. I'd like to try some of their other menu choices. I recommend. The service is good and the wait crew enthusiastic.
