The menu showed 4 tacos, the menu said you get 3 and what I got were two slightly stale shells wrapped in tin foil with my entree. The service was good, but In my opinion the food was just average. I guess technically it's mostly a bar, in which case it's probably better than most. The atmosphere is casual, but for what we paid ($108 for 4 people and 1 appetizer) seems like a lot for what it is.

When is a Panini not a panini? Well, when it isn't a Panini…read more The name "panini" is given to a grilled sandwich made from any type of bread. That's what I was expecting when I ordered their roast beef pesto panini sandwich, with sweet potato fries. It arrived sans grill marks. Whatever. My wife went with their Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap. She really liked her Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap. I showed her my "panini" and asked here "Does this look like a panini to you?" Nope, it did not. Anyway, so what did the non-Panini Panini taste like? The roast beef wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good. It was like lunchmeat. The pesto flavor was very light. It was served hot, but I had to salt it because it was so bland. The sweet potato fries were tasty. They had an unlimited soup and salad bar. The soup was okay, the salad was shredded iceberg lettuce with lots of other things to drop on it. Service was a bit slow for lunch since the bartender was also the waitress. The mens room must have been cleaned - when I used it, there was no smell and the fixtures were clean. The have at least 3 pool tables and some arcade games in the back. Lots of monitors playing various sporting events.

The restrooms were convenient and easy to access. The service was outstanding. Our server came right over and took our drink and appetizer order and gave us time to look at the menu. We were there during the dinner hour and there was plenty to choose from. Everything we ordered came in a timely manner, hot, fresh and as we ordered it. We ordered the combo appetizer platter it came with deep fried mushrooms, mozzarella cheese sticks, chicken strips and onion rings. One person ordered the chicken bacon pesto wrap and onion rings, one ordered the chicken strip meal with fries, and the last person ordered bacon cheeseburger meal with tater tots, all the meals came with the soup and salad bar. The soup that night was broccoli cheese and there was a nice variety of salad to choose to choose from. The prices were pretty average for the area.

They offer indoor and outdoor seating so we chose to sit on their patio since it was such a nice June day. They have an extensive cocktail and craft beer list along with burgers, sandwiches,tacos,bowls,salads and BBQ. My wife had the Rodeo Burger on a GF bun which was loaded with pulled pork,bbq sauce and pepper jack cheese. The burger was huge and came with a side of slaw. I had to try their Trash Can Fries which were topped with Monterey Jack cheese sauce,pulled pork,pico and jalapenos. Absolutely delicious. They offer Daily Specials and are also known for their Chicken George which I have to try on my next visit. Plenty of parking and great for larger groups as well.

Our server did a great job of explaining gluten free options for me with a little help from the manager. When he suggested how he could modify the Rodeo Burger I was sold. It was packed with flavor and huge amount of pulled pork. I had Cole slaw as my side but there are many sides to choose. My husband ordered the Trash Can fries and they too came loaded with smokey, tender pulled pork. I would definitely return when in the area again.

Service was great (we sat at the bar) and the ambiance is bar-like (nothin' fancy). Good prices too. Took half mine home for another meal later. OH, almost forgot.... I think their green beans are FRESH?!?

Stood next to the bar for over 20 minutes waiting to order and was completely ignored by the bartender. She served everyone in the group I was with, made eye contact with me seeing I was trying to order them simply walked away. Even after a friend that knew her personally told her I was waiting. The crowd it attracts is definitely a young one and can be a little tense in there at times. I've been there a few times since but sadly the service is never much better. If you visit Drifters don't expect prompt service or any sort of beverage other than a beer, simple mixed drink (I.e. rum and coke), or a straight shot of liquor, since they openly say "they don't do mixed drinks".

I wish there were more than one pool table because we wouldn't have had to wait so long and we wouldn't have felt like playing more than one game was wrong.

Fun place but I think I will try elsewhere next time...maybe even just a pool hall.
