First time eating at Benders Bar And Grill…read more Excellent food and service! Laura delivered with a smile, very welcoming and pleasant. Chef Adrien totally understood the "keto" assignment with my no bun request. He went above and beyond adding the lettuce bun as his own touch. Burger was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Monday is their pasta special - choose your pasta, sauce, soup or salad and garlic bread. Highly recommend checking them out! 5 stars!

There's fun things including a pool table. Even with the name of it we still think it's a pretty cool bar. It's one of the few not fancy looking places in this part of the city. There's a few parts of it with their own atmosphere and gatherings. Basically it has a couple entrances. One is where they have the pool table. It's about $5 to get a basic cocktail. We got something with whiskey. Main bar area is in the middle. The other entrance goes to another seating area full of tables. Here is where to go if not sitting at the bar. They sometimes have events such as live music. Good bar that's better than many think it would be. It's located on Highland at Grove. They're open late including both weekdays and weekends.

A hidden gem in the most unassuming location that will blow your mind away…read more This restaurant is one of the finest "small plates" restaurants you will eat at. So much more than duck, but even that is insane. Tonight three people shared: octopus, duck wings, soft shell crab, buratta, and of course the duck fat fries. Each dish was unique tasting experience. They served one at a time, we savored it comfortably ... and then the next was served. Enjoy a very different intimate dining experience and you will not be disappointed!!!

So I've been here before for Friday night fish fry. AND some of the best French onion soup ever…read more The service has always been really good. Tonight swayed my opinion a little bit for the following reasons- please keep in mind the outside temperature was 90 degrees and it was "fly season" - French onion soup = fantastic - service= very good -temperature inside= probably 80 degrees. Had to get a cup of ice for my beer - flynado. Literally could not have an enjoyable dinner AT ALL. A fly flew into my eyeball. There is no reason to do ZERO to even try and to control this. Employees couldn't have cared less. - bathrooms have ZERO air conditioning or ventilation and had no soap. Probably won't be going back.

No cliques here. The owner greeted me immediately with a hug. It was about 7Pm and this place was packed. The bartender immediately asked what I wanted to drink and within a minute a tall glass was sitting in front of me. The chefs were working so hard fixing nonstop orders of fish, fries, burgers, and tater tots for the most part. They were moving like a conveyor belt with the orders. From the time I arrived, until I left, not one order was messed up. All the staff are pretty friendly and just awesome overall. Don't expect long conversations if you're looking for liquor paid psychiatrist work while Friday fish orders are being filled. I had the baked cod (was always my favorite) and the first time the walleye with the broccoli crunch and tater tots. Walleye reminds me of catfish. Omg, everything was a 100 out of a 10 to be honest. Coming out of a dive tavern, yes. Everything had the right crunch or the perfect flakiness. Loved it. Friday Fishfry is the bomb here in my opinion. They do have a pool table, jukebox, and a couple of TVs.

It's not a big bar but it's a comfortable size establishment if I were to say. They still open pretty late and to get a great crowd. Drink prices are fair but if you come here with a large party you need to double check your bill because accidents do happen here when it comes to potentially splitting your bill or stuff being randomly added to your bill. This is a place I would recommend stopping at a longer or hop Journey if that is your mission.

We made the grave mistake of celebrating a bride-to-be while wearing costumes for her wedding that falls on Halloween weekend. The bartender and the handful of likely regulars/townies looked at us like we had personally ruined their week. Then they blocked me on Instagram for saying so. Bold strategy. Imagine being an establishment annoyed to have paying customers - weird concept, I know. Thankfully, another local bar was happy to have paying customers and reminded us what hospitality actually looks like. Save yourself the awkward vibes and go to Magpie's instead.
