    Best fries in the valley hands down!

    If you're looking for the best fries look no further. You have stubbles upon them. Chunky perfectly seasoned fries.

    Appears to be a sham. No food, watered down beer, lots of "exchsnges" We literally ran out

    Always fun at Flying Walrus. The outdoor setup is great. There is an upstairs patio which is a perfect place to watch the band play.

    I've never had worse service than my dining experience I had in this slop heap! Don't do it! Trust me!

    What a fun spot for locals to come to. We were initially drawn to this place because we're were…read morestaying across the street and could hear music coming from the other side. We decided to walk there on a Thursday night and saw that it was karaoke night. My fave! It looked like it once was a big warehouse because there was so much space. The outdoor patio was huge with lots of benches and inside also was huge with plenty of seating. They offered arcade games and pool tables which was fun. We got a couple margaritas and it was only $10! I put my name in for a couple songs and we sat and listened to others sing for a little while. The karaoke host was nice and he lets everyone sing 2 songs back to back which is unheard of for me lol but the crowd was very nice and responsive. We had a nice low key time. The chicken wing/taco combo is solid! Everything was very affordable and I think they have some type of music playing each night.

    This is a large place with plenty of indoor, outdoor, or bar seating. It is a pet and kid friendly…read moreestablishment. They have two Pool tables inside. We have been here several time to listen to the live music from local performers. The food menu is typical of what you would find at an bar n grill. We have had a bacon wrapped hot dog and fries, chicken wings, and baked potato. Everything was good. We started ordering bottled beer the last few times we came since their draft beers seemed a little too hot for our liking. The service staff is young and very friendly. They seated us immediately. The best part about it! Is that the building itself is a part of the town's history. Come check it out, and learn some of Alamo's history.
