    Buffalo wings

    We stopped by on Thursday for some food and everything was great. Our server, Jessie was extremely friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was chill, the place was clean, the food was delicious. We ordered various things off the happy hour menu; it was definitely worth it. No complaints whatsoever, I'd for sure come back.

    This is second time we have come to this great bar. It was hopping tonight with Sunday NFL football. The bar has a great vibe. A lot of energy , very clean and great decor. Service is great and the food is very good too. The prices are very reasonable too. Overall, a great place that we will return to and highly recommend for the food, service and the vibe.

    Monday deals on the burgers led us to "THE" Patty Melt.

    Wow, great service and great food. We came for lunch and can tell that this place must be packed during dinner. They have a nice patio or indoor seating. We enjoyed some daily specials that you should be aware of.

    American Double $8 - Monday lunch special
    Arshad H.

    Wild Goose Tavern is a 21+ establishment and has plenty of seating inside as well as a private parking lot. I noticed they had a bunch of weekday lunch specials, so I decided to try them out. American Double ($8 - Monday - Lunch special) - This consisted of 2 smashed angus patties, lettuce, slice tomato, American cheese, pickles, house secret sauce all served in a large bun. I asked for my patties to be medium rare. I was impressed with how juicy and great tasting this burger was. Not to mention all the ingredients were fresh and size was generous. At this price point this was a steal! Overall I was impressed with their weekday lunch specials. Service from the staff was exceptional, they were so friendly and always checking on me. I'm definitely adding this to my weekday rotation!

    such a chill spot to gather and grab bites and drinks! pretty spacious parking lot and lots of seating inside. there's even a small game/activity you could play inside. the service is super sweet, conversational, helpful, and accommodating. they'll even make you drink requests even if they don't appear on the menu. i LOVED the moscow mule they made. we got the pretzel, nachos, poke nachos, crispy brussels sprouts, fried pickles, and more. my favorite would have to be the tavern nachos and poke nachos. both came with good flavor and nice crisp.

    Considering this is a bar I was blown away by how good their food is! I got food/drinks off the happy hour menu. Quality and price are outstanding. Our server Jesse was above and beyond from start to finish even tho she was the only server on floor with like 6 other tables. The place is cute and has a western theme. I will definitely be back

    Hazy IPA
    Stephanie S.

    Went to a show with friends and found this place. They have the juiciest Hazy IPA ever. The service and over all location is great, kinda gives a cabin type of vibe inside. I'm a huge fan of taxidermy lol and they have it everywhere. We showed up a little too late to order food but excited to try it next time. Overall a great bar!

    Gains Bowl w/ short rib
    Timothy Spencer T.

    TLDR: It's a good pub that offers decent food. I definitely see people pre-gaming here before moving on to other pubs, or enjoying the food here while having a drink. Gains bowl (w/ crispy short rib): I really enjoyed the Gains Bowl overall. The mix of farro, quinoa, fresh veggies, and that light honey dijon dressing was super refreshing and felt satisfying without being heavy. I decided to throw in some crispy short rib on top, and while it sounded promising, it ended up being the only letdown. The short rib was quite dry and lacked the juicy, tender bite I was hoping for, which somewhat clashed with the rest of the bowl's fresh, vibrant feel. Still, the base bowl itself was great, and I'd get it again. I may just switch the protein to Prime Rib next time. Service: Solid staff had very active eyes and were proactive. Ambiance: This place feels like a modern Western saloon with a fun, lively twist. Inside, you'll find warm wood accents, mounted antlers, and a big antler chandelier that sets the rustic vibe. The bar areas are welcoming and packed with bottles, making it easy to settle in for a good drink. Outside, the open-air patio with string lights creates a buzzing, social atmosphere perfect for groups. Overall, it's a spot that's both inviting and energetic, great for everything from a casual drink to a whole night out.

    We were in the area and were searching for a place to eat. I am so glad we found this place. Great food and friendly service. Also, affordable! I will definitely be back.

    Where do I start? The delicious food? The amazing service that Chris and Maddison provide? The great location? This restaurant is located in a great area surrounded by other amazing restaurants and businesses I came here around 1 without a reservation and got a great parking spot up close and got a great seat inside When I walked in, Maddison told us to sit anywhere we wanted. We grabbed a booth along the wall and it also had a couple chairs on the other side. It was our lucky day and we got there during Happy hour. They actually have one of the best HH menus. The ambiance was filled with a bunch of regulars and people on their lunch break. This place is locally owned and operated. I absolutely love places like this and love to support local verses chain places We first put in for the fried pickles and their fried burrata. Both starters were absolutely delicious and they were both on the happy hour menu Then we put in for their burger and their version of a French dip sandwich (Again, both were amazing) the meat was extremely fresh and juicy. Sometimes with French dips they can be overwhelming with salt. Not this one. All I tasted was flavor from the meat, mushrooms and caramelized onions. The fries were delicious as well (beer battered) Another thing about this place is they have a rotating menu that is always changing. On the day I came here they actually were switching out their current menus and replacing them with different ones (Chris was really helpful at telling us about how things are always changing here) So it's already guaranteed I have to come back to see what's new! Now, dessert They have these amazing cookie skillets with ice cream. These cookies are so huge it's literally like 5 cookies stacked together. We ended up with the peanut butter cookie skillet and the birthday cake one. The birthday cake cookie tasted exactly like a birthday cake. And the peanut butter one would leave any peanut butter lover shaking in their boots. We actually took a lot of the cookie home and I snacked on it for a couple days. Even though the cookie was so thick it was cooked evenly, which surprised me. The warm cookie matched with the coldness of the ice cream was pure heaven Maddison always refilled our drinks Chris was absolutely amazing and gave me the rundown of how the menu is always changing and about the fresh ingredients they always use. If I could give 10 stars for the service I would Another bonus was the food came out extremely fast. I was nervous because I had an important appointment to get to. And I made it early because of how fast the food came out. I didn't even get to check out the whole place since I sat down at the first table. The place appeared to be really spacious. It's tavern / cabin vibes. And I'm sure this place gets packed on the weekends at night. This place also features TVs and pool table I loved the private up close parking The value of the food, especially during happy hour The taste of the food The ambiance The menu has something for everyone And the amazing service from Maddison and Chris

    Listen I don't know if we were just super hungry or if that food was just that good but it was truly some of the best, juicy food we've had in a while! The service was nice, the atmosphere was busy but chill with lots of options for seating and the food left me in a food coma lol Highly!!!! Recommend!!! Literally told my BF that I wished we lived closer to here loll - Already planning on coming back for St. Patricks Day with friends!

    Parking is tricky, even if they have a private lot, spaces are small. I was pleasantly surprised about the food and service. Enjoyed the cilantro caprese burger with onion rings and wings.

    Tavern nachos with rib eye
    Liz S.

    Very aesthetic western bar feel. The menu had great variety and the food was delicious. The meat was clean cut and flavorful. My favorite was actually the potato tacos $3 bucks for taco Tuesday! No wait we were seated and served right away and the food came out fast. Really enjoyed our lunch here.

From the moment we walked in the door we were greated by a friendly employee and he made us feel like we were gonna be taken care of.. The place looks like a pizza shop and has a total pizza vibe inside.. The place was clean and the seating was comfortable.. Ok... On to the food... We started with the bacon artichoke dip.. That was sooooooo good and just the right amount of cheese... Yum Yum... We also ordered a medium thin crust pepperoni pizza (to eat there) and we ordered a medium stuffed deep dish with mushrooms, pepperoni, and sausage to bring home for a dinner in a few days.. The thin crust pepperoni was so good.. I am a pizza snob and this was pretty damn good that I struggled to remember when the last time I had pizza this good..I am being honest too.. The deep dish we did a half bake so it cooks easier in our oven at home.. Smelled good in the car for the 90 minute drive home.. Shout out to Chris.. You could tell he cared about the products.. He asks if you have been there before and then helps you decide the right pizza to make your visit the best.. I liked that.. We had a couple of beers to wait for the pizza.. Thank You Chris M.. for a great visit!! Just remember good food is always worth the wait.. Everything is scratch made and it shows in the product when you are eating.. This place also doesn't break the bank either.. Last thing... The Restrooms are clean.. That matters as it reflects on the rest of the restaurant.. THANK YOU RANCE'S !! You Truly Earned My Future Visits..

I am drawn to Ospi's Michelin twists where bold flavors are made possible with the least amount of ingredients. Every bite counts. The kale salad to start was the best decision. The finely chopped kale leaves paired beautifully with the well-thought-out dressing and cheese. The crispy provolone was crunchy and had a balanced taste of cheesiness. The copione pizza was paper-thin yet contained a robust flavor profile which I did not expect. The highlight of the already amazing meal was the mandilla pesto pasta. The electric green color of the almond-pine nut pesto sauce was extremely powerful, and it was the best-tasting pesto pasta I've ever had. The Italian meal felt complete, but I didn't feel overwhelmed with the amount of carbs. I love the friendly staff and patio seating!

We got three of the slices our waiter recommended: Stay loose, Haole, sauce addiction, and mo honey mo problems. We loved that they had Detroit slices as well as the normal thin crust. The crust on the Detroit slice is light and airy even though it looks super thick like a focaccia slice. Although we liked the Detroit slice the thin pies were definitely our favorites. The crust isn't tough and was a good balance of crispy and fluffy. I thought the Stay Loose, Haole was a bit too salty and could have used more pineapple but the Sauce Addiction was amazing.

It's a great local spot. * Logistics: Parking can be a bit of a struggle, but I've never had a major issue other than the line being long--which just goes to show how popular it is. The Only Critique: My only issue is that something in their ingredients routinely makes me feel unwell. I'm not sure exactly what it is--it's not just standard grease--but every time I eat it after taking a week off, I feel pretty bad for about 3 hours afterward. I suspect it might be a specific chemical or something like monosodium glutamate (MSG), but the food is so good that I honestly end up eating it anyway. Final Thoughts: If you can handle whatever "mystery ingredient" is in there, it's a 5-star experience. I'll keep coming back for the flavor alone!
