We sat in the bar area and our server immediately greeted us and brought water. I didn't catch her name but she was excellent, continuously checking on us throughout our meal. Our server went over the menu and we went with her recommendation of Lucy Burgers and Tater Tots since this is their specialty. We didn't try the beer since we had a long haul ahead of us. I chose the Pickle Lucy and my husband chose the classic. He added lettuce and tomato and I added tomato. Both burgers were big, gooey, delicious and cooked perfectly. The tater tots were huge stuffed with cheese and bacon but not crispy like traditional Tator tots. This was a bit of a bummer but they were flavorful. I'm glad we stopped in and tried Crooked pint Ale House.

The restaurant is in a "travel plaza" that has seen better days. There weren't many customers. It is a big, high ceilinged space that back in the day must have been filled with truckers, families and those endless cups a Joe counter guys. Despite the "really, you want to eat here?" Fell of the place, I would not hesitate to revisit if I find myself in that town in the morning again.

I'm a local so I've been visiting Boxers for years now. Breakfast, dinner and occasionally drinks…read more A few weeks ago I went out and had drinks at 10,000 Drops and then I walked over to Boxers where I had 3 drinks and they charged my cc three times. By the third time, I was a bit ticked off because each time, the bartender was very familiar with me as a local. But instead of apologizing, Jo called the bouncer over who walked me out peacefully. This last weekend I had dinner there and on my way out, I stopped by Jo at the bar handed her a $20 and said, "I know I was upset and I don't want her to think I was mad and I didn't want her to to be mad at me". She graciously took the 20 and agreed. My cousin and I went to 10,000 drops, had a few and walked back to Boxers where I was stopped by their check point and another bartender Hailey told them I couldn't come in. I motioned the bouncer over and asked him if I caused him any trouble the last time I was here and he said no. Now, I could see if I was belligerent and had no reason to be mad and while I was being kicked out I caused a scene and acted harshly why they would ban me. But I had a reason to be ticked off, but I wasn't over the top and as the bouncer came over I peacefully walked out. I think it's pretty sad that A. You don't seem to care about paying customers and B. You serve alcohol and don't seem to have even the slightest of tolerance that you would expect from such a notoriously violent bar. So, I won't be returning... you win.

It is a cute hole-in-the-wall-ish kind of bar that has been kept in great condition. We liked looking around at all the pictures and autographs on the walls. We happened to catch a brand new waitress on her second day on the job. She did admirably. The pizza had a nice thin crust and was cut into little squares that were bite-sized for me. The sauce has a kick, and there was a good amount of sauce on it. We got a large bacon, mushroom and black olive pizza, and our only critique was that we couldn't really tell that there were mushrooms on it. We found a couple little chopped up pieces, but not much...you would never know there were any just by looking at it. Anyway, nice place, friendly staff, and reasonable prices!

Somehow we still waited for several Minutes to be seated because no one cared to watch the hostess stand. When we were seated, it still took a long time to get silverware and a waiter to show up. My friend ended up getting the silverware herself. The coffee cups weren't clean... but it was nice they left the coffee on the table for refills. The waiter was awkward and really into my personal space. He was nice, but not competent. Our food did come quickly once we ordered. The eggs Benedict were good and the fruit was fresh and not just pineapples lol. My friend liked her waffle and eggs, but the bacon was sorely undercooked. The only reason she didn't send it back was because she didn't really want it anyway. It probably would have taken another 30 minutes to get someone's attention to redo it. I don't know if it was just an odd day, but it wasn't a great experience which is disappointing because the food was overall good.
