    Close to home, started coming here to watch Football games. They serve Coke products AND HAVE COKE ZERO (always a plus in my book) the staff is pretty friendly and their food is pretty good. Never a long wait for food or drinks. Enjoy their drink specials and daily food specials. Very good environment to get dinner with the family or to grab a beer with a pal! Try their supreme pizza, you can thank me later!

    I have been here with each of my older kids and my oldest daughter just finished her game and we were only 5 miles away. Came in and requested a high top in an empty restaurant and I guess I was putting out the hostess based on the way she sat the menus on the table. Strike 1! The waitress came and brought drinks then came back 3 minutes later while we were talking and asked if we were ready like she was in a hurry! Strike 2! After 10 minutes of sitting with Menus and we were ready to order I was glancing around the restaurant and the lady behind the bar, "Do you guys need something?" I said, "we are ready to order when our waitress is ready" so the gnarly bartender decided to drag her attitude and her carcass from behind the bar and take our order. This place was great the last 2 times! This time with the whole family they fell on their face! Strike 3! The bartender lady with the condescending tone definitely should not be the face of this place. You have to have horrible for me to give a single star for service alone and I have not eaten a thing yet! I added this place to my CLT collection a while ago and depending how the food and remaining service is, I may remove them from my collection. Food was good. Not great, but good. Maybe Tuesdays are a bad night at the Rusty Onion. I just know if that was my first time with service that bad, I would NEVER go back! Thanks!

    Great spot to catch a game and grab a bite. There aren't many places that offer made to order calzones and strombolis but this place offers fabulous ones! The service is outstanding and the sports bar vibe is very appealing!

    Great service. Comfortable environment. Pizza was fantastic (if you're into a thin crust and a thick waist). The meatball/knot sliders are heaven. Highly recommend!

    So far so good, my wife wanted to have lunch somewhere and the name I threw out was The Rusty Onion. We'd never been here which is surprising considering it's just down the road from our house. We could seat ourselves and chose a split bench table. My wife ordered the bacon/cheese fries. I ordered the portobello pie with a side Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was delicious! It had shaved Parmesan cheese and a delicious dressing. I cleaned the plate. The Portobello Pie was really tasty too. That's saying something for me because my senses of taste and smell have still not returned after covid. My wife's bacon and cheese fries were really good too. She ate about half of them. I ate another quarter of the dish. The fries were cooked just right, not oily or greasy. Another Yelper had referred to them as being so good that you'd slap yo Momma. They are that good. I'd order a plate of them and sample their beers next time. All in all it was a great experience, we'll be back.

    Bought a house and drove 40 minutes to my home away from home- for the pizza, the service and the atmosphere. My happy place for a year now and it never disappoints. Great drink specials, amazing food, and casual atmosphere that's so darn welcoming. My pizza fave is the Eye-Talian Stallion. Artichokes, olives, bacon, white sauce base, garlic and stuff is just the perfect blend of ingredients for a scrumptious slice! Pepperoni and mozzarella is my husbands go to and they have lots of options for create your own. Definitely try it if you haven't - we have been to a dozen places in the last two months that say they have the best pizza around and it's not half as good. My husband heartily agrees. Other menu options are also great and I've sampled nearly everything.

    Hot Carnivore Pizza, add mushrooms and red onions.

    Service at The Onion - always amazing and y'all look at this pizza. It is as delicious as it looks.

    We were looking for a place to eat before skipping town that could accommodate a small group (6…read moreadults and a baby) and a dog. We went across the street and they didn't allow dogs on the patio so a quick Yelp search led us to Jack Beagles. With a dog in the name, I figured it would be dog friendly and I was right... it's event dog friendly inside which was great since we had the baby and it was hot out. They were happy to seat us in the dining room and since breakfast was about to end and lunch was about to start, we had the option of both. Some ordered breakfast and a few of us order the tenders because our server said it was one of the most popular items. I don't normally go for tenders at a new place, but they had garlic parm which drew me in. They were pretty great and served with waffle fries. My buddy got this massive burger that I was eyeing as well and I had a little bit of food envy when it came out. It was called The Big Bear and was sporting 2 Patties, 2 X Bacon, 2 x White American Cheese, Pickled Jalapeno, and Chipotle Aioli. I would definitely try that next time. Only odd thing was that when the burger came out, my buddy asked for a knife other than a butter knife to cut it since it was so big. Instead of offering to bring it to the kitchen to cut it, she came out from the back to say they don't have any steak knives and the only sharp ones are with the cook. No big deal, but a little odd. Anyway, we had a great lunch before hitting the road that accommodated all of our needs.

    First let me say.. I LOVE the Noda location, service is always friendly and wonderful. But if you…read moreare black, stay clear of this one.

Just go to Noda and they will take care of you, actually speak and provide efficient service!

Luckily we snagged a spot and walked over to the lake area. We were seated quickly and our server took drink orders and gave us a chance to review the large menu. There is lots to choose from but, we decided on shrimp tacos. We tried the chipotle tacos and the grilled shrimp tacos. Both were very good. You get a choice of sides, and we tried the Mexican street corn salad and the Mac and cheese. I wasn't a huge fan of the corn salad. It was served cold, but I wasn't really a fan of the taste. The Mac and cheese looked creamy and gooey and was told it was really good. Next time I will order a different side. The atmosphere here is bright and lively with a nice view of the water where you can take paddle boat rides. People love to walk over here, so it is nice to have an open view. The restaurant has a tiki bar vibe and has surfing theme throughout the place. Really fun and relaxing. This is a great stop if you are in the area, expect to circle the lot a bit on the weekends, but the food and atmosphere are great here. We will definitely return to Boardwalk Billy's.

We started with the deviled eggs, which were not too creamy and very well spiced. We then ordered cranberry mimosas, a chicken and waffle, an a veggie omelet. The cranberry mimosas were so fun because we got to make them ourselves! The chicken and waffle was ok- I requested gravy on the side but it certainly needed the sauce. The waffle was a little dry and the chicken was average. The veggie omelet was excellent and I enjoyed the fillings. I'm not a potato fan, but my friend enjoyed the potatoes. The biscuit was standard too but complemented the veggie omelet well. I'd say the star of the show were the fried French toast sticks- they were hot, sweet, and hit the spot perfectly.
