Great experience!!! Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was great for bar food. The noise level was pretty high but totally understandable since football season has started. Pretty cool they are dog friendly. Lots of dogs were there. Only negative is you have to deal with dog hair floating around which might get in your food. Highly recommend!!

The restaurant itself is a great concept. Fun atmosphere. Big screen TVs. Sports games on. Large tables for big groups. Unfortunately the food is only mediocre. We ordered a variety of items, appetizers, entrees, and dessert. A burger is probably your best bet. Their fries were good. Our salads were not great. Id go again for the concept, but not with a big appetite.

The reservation was quick to get sat down, the sound was loud enough where the speakers could be heard over extending during the bass of songs. Then it’s a fifa game and they were playing audio to the ufc game where fifa is nearing the end and is in its final stages where that audio should be priority. Food was good and our waitress was sweet but the place was packed which is normal during times like this. There was a guy who needed to be escorted out due to causing problems and the manager is visibly angry and yelling at the guy to go outside while staff help get him out.

The backyard has the best TVs in the valley for any game or event. Menu has variety and there’s always drinks specials. This is a family friendly environment and entertainment place. They always have a theme with staff and decor. Staff is attentive and friendly! I always have the best time here!
