We…read morewere able to snag a booth and shortly after we settled in our server, came over to get our drink orders and deliver menus. We got in our drink orders and started looking at the food menu. It's a pretty standard bar menu, but with a decent variety of things that should satisfy almost anyone. Our drinks came out quickly as did our food. Our server was very much on top of things and very pleasant. I got the Rachel... Turkey Reuben. It was pretty good although I would've put on a little bit more dressing. I opted for the sweet potato tots and they were pretty good as well. My wife and another of the diners in our group got the chicken salad sandwich and they said it was very good. Our other diner got the grilled tenderloin and she ate it all up as well. The TVs had various sports on and 1980ish music videos. An interesting combination. There is quite a bit of indoor and outdoor seating and the outdoor seating is under roof as it was in the previous restaurant. On this particular evening, it was just too cold for anyone to be out there.

The food choices were very limited $$, but there was an array of beers, wines, cocktails, and an assortment of other mixed libations. The decor is like a bar dive if liquor is your main thing.

The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, the staff is genuinely awesome, and the locally made frozen pizzas are way better than you'd ever expect from bar food.

You can pick inside or outside seating. The outside patio area is bigger than the inside. You go into the main building and they ask where you want to sit. It happened to be a beautiful June day so we asked for the patio. We got a nice big table close to the bar. It was shaded for us fair skinned Iowans The bar island is fairly big. Couple TVs hung in the corners and very festive. Its decorated like you are enjoying the beach coast. The waitress was on it. She had our drinks and dished out the laughs while at it. She was great. I always have questions, but I really wanted to try the Tenderloin here. Everyone in my group had questions or adjustments to their order and she took it all in stride. There was almost no other individuals here yet, but people quickly started to fill the patio up. It was mid week, in the middle of the day and this place started hopping. I ordered the Tenderloin with their special sauce for the fries that come with it. P - Please make sure you try the Tenderloin A - All the food tasted great. T - Table of 7 and everyone left stuffed or needed a box to go. I - I really loved the breading on the Tenderloin. O - Outstanding overall experience. I want to go sometime and enjoy an adult beverage on a nice summer day. There is a bike path that you can see from the patio and I am sure they get some bicyclists that stop for a bite to eat.

It was getting to be dinner time, so asked my wife to meet me here for my last stop. Every time we've stopped here, we have been impressed with the quality of the food and tonight was no different. I had already enjoyed some Happy Hour specials at another venue, but my wife hadn't yet eaten dinner. She ordered the Gyro & Fries (see picture) and as you might guess, I did try a couple of bites. We both thought it was a very good gyro and were delighted to see that it is the daily special each day from 11-2, so we will definitely be coming back for lunch some day.

Don't tell him I went without him :) Anyway, I'm glad the wife and I gave it a try. We walked in at 5:30 on a Friday and it was busy. We didn't wait but for a few minutes and had a table. The greeter was very friendly and our server was super nice and pleasant to have as a waiter. His recommendations were spot on. The whole restaurant was hopping busy but operating very smoothly. Not a quiet place, a true sports bar ambiance. The wings were very very good. Maybe some of the better ones I've had here in town. The gyro was fantastic, and huge. Great value. The wife's flatbread was great too. Excellent food all the way around. Prices for very reasonable. Happy hour helps some of the prices for sure, but still a well priced establishment. We are fans of this place and will most certainly be back.

Intimate, dark atmosphere inside, and brighter (and often warmer!) out back on the patio. Meatloaf and Salmon entrees are regulars for us, but we've tried almost every sandwich and many of the other entrees, and they are always full of flavor and delicious. Salads are fresh and have very good quality lettuce and veggies. Dressings are good as well. Small bar with drop in seating, but it pays to get a reservation. They currently use Toast to take reservations and you'll get a reminder the day prior to your visit. Walk in's often find it challenging to squeeze in here! Service is always good and the bartenders make a good drink.

We ended up quite impressed with the value and our server, Kelbe was fantastic - offering great suggestions off of the Happy Hour menu! Overall, this is a top-tier venue for your next Happy Hour trip (especially once they get the rooftop opened)! To share as much as we could about their Happy Hour, we sampled as many food dishes as we could comfortably eat, with all of them being solid options that we would order again. We started with a Margarita (see picture) and a Raspberry Mule (see picture) and while both were very good, it is hard to beat the value for the Margarita. For our food options, we tried all of the following shown in order of my preference (see pictures for each): Shrimp Street Tacos, Carne Asada Street Tacos, Wings (Tropical Habanero sauce), Lettuce Wraps and Buffalo Rangoons. A few comments to understand the priority order: I love street tacos, the wings were good but could have used a bit more sauce, the lettuce wraps were very good - but oh, so messy with the rice and just a bed of lettuce rather than a wrap and the rangoons were good, but a bit too overbrowned.

First, shame on me for not looking at the menu more closely, but I ordered a flatbread pizza…read more($12.99) and added pepperoni and banana peppers, not realizing that each topping is an additional $3 each (outrageous!). I thought a generic flatbread pizza included up to 2 toppings. However, on closer inspection of the menu, adding toppings is more expensive than ordering a specialty pizza as a flatbread. Unbelievable! I was given a flatbread pizza that was as thin as a tortilla and had burnt corners along with 10 pieces of pepperoni and 8 banana peppers. I could've made my own flatbread pizza at home for a fraction of the cost, and it would've been way better quality. I still can't believe I had to pay $21 for this poor quality food. Even the waitress agreed it was ridiculous to be charged that much for this pizza. I will never eat here again. Expensive and poor quality - it's not worth your time.
