    Big *ss Long Island for $11.50!

    I love dive bars and consider myself a dive bar dweller. Any city I visit I try to hit at least one or two dive bars on my trip. While visiting my mom in Saline for a long 6 weeks we passed this place many times and finally decided to stop in one night. We were happy to find that the kitchen was still open at 9:30 on a Sunday night. We decided to split the sampler plate appetizer and wasn't disappointed. The bartender was cool, the drinks were strong and cheap, and the few locals in there were friendly. Thompson's has keno which is a big deal to me living in Vegas where you have every other kind of gambling but not keno at a bar. We came up a few Friday's later and the place was packed. They had on the Tigers game and the MSU game. Found a couple spots up at the bar, played some keno, and watched baseball. Around 10pm they started setting up for karaoke but I was tired and didn't feel like staying. I like the vibe at Thompson's and will be coming back on future trips.

    Pathetic food was only matched by service. Tried it twice and will never go back. Go or beer only.

    Came here to celebrate our friends bachelor and bachelorette combo party. It was a party of 20 and…read morewe had fun. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich but the chicken was dry not saucy. It came in a ciabatta bread but it was more bread than chicken meat. My friend next to me said her fries came out cold. My husband had the double smash cheese burger and I had a bite of it but it tasted too beefy and bland did not taste like a smash burger at all. The device was good and we would like to come back and try it again. Hopefully next time we'll sit in the outdoors patio and can order something else. Also the bathroom was hot almost felt like there was ac in that part of the restaurant.

    I have heard people talk about Mac's and recommend it…read more My wife has eaten there with one of her girlfriends and she has brought home leftover and they were fantastic. I can be very critical of restaurants. I have over 20 years food service experience. From the UK to the USA. I will say that every dish that was prepared for us was absolutely phenomenal! The timing of the service of the dinner was very good. No long waits, and the food was served hot, the proper temperatures. We had steamed mussels with the home made bread. The pairing was excellent. My wife has never eaten alligator and she surprised me by suggesting that she would like to try it. The taste was very fresh, lightly battered and spiced to perfection. My wife does not like spicy food, but she enjoyed it. We next tried the soups. She had the Mariners chowder and I had the gumbo. I have lived in Southern Mississippi, and I will say that the gumbo is by far one of the best that I have ever had. The Mariners chowder was also very good, but the gumbo was exceptional. For our entree my wife had the Lobster roll and 1 had the Jambalaya. The Lobster roll came on a grilled roll and the lobster stuffing was very fresh tasting. The Jambalaya was spicy the way it should be. The serving size was abundant. For dessert we had key lime pie and cheese cake with a strawberry. Both were very very good. The wait staff were very friendly and answered any questions that we had about the menu. I highly recommend Mac's for any of those special occasions or to just go out and have a good meal with you family.

    I tried to order alligator but the bartender told me they were out of it. This place theme is…read moreCajun; how do you run out of this staple? Can you imagine a steakhouse telling customers they have no steak? Anyway, the 2nd problem was the bartender went to the kitchen to see if there was any alligator. She was gone an interminaly long time, finally reappeared and...immediately struck up a conversation with someone at the bar! She kept yakking on and on, FINALLY, I asked about the alligator, none to be found. I actually had to interrupt her conservation with the other customer or she would have talked forever and ever! All I wanted to do was order some food. After that, everything was fine. I still tipped (I probably shouldn't have though) and that was the end of it. Nice lady, attractive and pleasant. But...she needs to be re-trained as a server. Not a good server at all. Mac's is not what it used to be. Sad, but true. ​
