The boneless wings were much better than traditional, and their hotter sauces had way more flavor than the original. As someone pretty indifferent about bleu cheese, I tried theirs because it was "life changing" and it was okay -- not too strong. Both the ranch & bleu cheese were extremely thicccccc.

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and were surprised to find a mini music festival going on. The…read moreplace was packed with families and others of all ages. Fortunately a couple got up from the bar as we were walking by. We enjoyed a couple beers. Since it was an event they weren't doing flights but were able to accommodate with a couple half pours so we could try something of the higher ABV offerings. There was a nice imperial IPA that was over 10% abv with a nice hop balance that I'm glad was available in a half pour. We didn't eat on this visit but lots of people were eating! The team behind the bar were super friendly and just the right balance of having fun and delivering great service. I wish it were closer. I really enjoy this spot!

I joined a group of high school classmates here a few weeks ago. We graduated together in 1971. We…read morewere gathered around a long table with guys moving freely around the table talking. This bar is a wide open space so the servers clearly get their steps in. Aside from our group they were having a pretty busy lunch crowd and the staff seemed to be keeping up with their work. Soon after my arrival our server, Sara S, began taking orders from those of us who had arrived later than the others and some orders had begun coming out. I ordered a deluxe cheeseburger with crispy fires and a bottle of Miller Lite. This was not the first time that this group had been here but as I had just recently come to find out about the gathering it was my first time with the group and the first time at Longnecks. Sara was soon delivering my beer and conversation continued around the table. Soon a group of orders arrived to the table with food runners helping Sara while she directed the meals to be delivered to the appropriate customers. When my food arrived it was fresh and hot, the fries were clearly crispy. My burger was cooked perfectly and delicious. I enjoyed my time here and the food was impressive. Sara's service was excellent on an individual basis but also her handling of this 22 top table was professional and well done. I hear that our group meets here every month and I look forward to my return next month. Kudos to Sara, the kitchen and all the staff!

The fish was cooked well and had a good crunch. It was lacking in the seasoning department, but nothing a little table salt and pepper couldn't doctor up a tad. The service was lacking quite a bit. We were pretty much ignored in terms of refills and check ins. The seating is really crammed with people in every nook and cranny. It is loud, but that's to be expected for a sports bar. I will say that after looking at all the mixed reviews, it was better than expected - not by much but better.

I'm not super familiar with the Independence, Kentucky dining scene, but Crewitts Creek Kitchen &…read moreBar has to be one of the best restaurants in the area. I stumbled upon Crewitts Creek while in Independence for my son's soccer game. I only had a short period of time, and though the restaurant and bar were pretty full, I was in and out in less than an hour. Happy Hour is available from 2-6 Tuesday through Friday (they are closed Mondays). Their pick any two for $13 from the Happy Hour menu is an amazing deal! The choices are side salad, wedge salad, bowl of Chili, soup of the day, Jr. club sandwich, or Jr. BLT with cheese. I started with the classic wedge salad with bleu cheese dressing, bleu cheese crumbles, applewood smoked bacon, red onion, and Roma tomatoes. This was a large serving and was full of toppings. My second choice was the Jr. BLT with cheese, and while it says Jr. in the name, this was a full-size sandwich featuring a grilled cheese combined with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. And it was even served with fries. I was not expecting this amount of food for a happy hour offering, but it was more than I could eat, and it was all freshly prepared and great tasting. I would definitely go back to Crewitts Creek again when given the chance.
