This place is EXCELLENT! Fabulous and inexpensive alcoholic beverages and the FOOD! OMG! Their menu is amazing. Every appetizer that I have tried is spot on. My personal favorites are the walleye bites and the pub pretzel bites, but I have had the nachos, boneless wings, onion rings, fried pickles (wifeys fav), drunken poutine (an excellent twist on this dish), and cheese curds and all were quite good. Im working through the main menu items. I havent tried any of the pizzas yet, but they look delicious. I have tried the Fat mans tenderloin, the Finkle is Einhorn, the Cuban Reuben, and the smoked ribs ... WOW! the smoked ribs rival anything I have had at Smokey Ds, Jethros, Cactus Bobs, Guru BBQ ... any of them! I will definitely come back to those once I try everything else. :-) That is not to say that any of the others came up short. Everything I have tried was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Seriously, do yourself a favor next time she says, "I dont know. Where do you want to go?" and head straight to Spectators. You will NOT be disappointed.

I had to give it a star to post -- its definitely NOT worthy of it though. Approximately 3 weeks ago I took my parents there, as it was close and "new" to them -- someplace different where they hadnt been. I had been there approximately 3, maybe 4 times prior -- though only ordered food a couple of times which was barely average, if that. Anyway, on the evening I took my parents, the food was absolutely horrible! My Moms burger was all grease -- not juicy, but grease!!! Her bun drenched in grease -- it was soggy as heck with grease -- my wings were disgusting, as they were dry and tasted stale like! My Dads tenderloin was most definitely fried way too long as it was very dry too!!! When we told our server -- not once did a manager come over talk to us. The "managers" were too busy flirting with their servers -- rather than tend to their responsibilities. The server was kind, as she did remove my Moms meal. The point is -- I would not recommend this place to anyone!!!

Was in last night to check the place out since we live just on the other side of the interstate. It is a very nice place, lots of TVs, and is not overly loud(it was a Tuesday mind you). I would have rated higher, but my wife ordered a beer that was a manager recommendation, and it was undrinkable. It tasted like a soap or dish cleaner had not fully been cleaned out of the glass. It was a Boulevard Tropical IPA, but tasted more like we were drinking perfume. They said they were in process of changing the beer menu over to more of a summer selection, so ordering off the beer menu in front of us resulted in a few trips from the server saying they did not have it on menu any longer. The two appetizers we had were great and there was a credit given for the confusion on beer menu, but that beer resulted in a lower mark.

Great place to grab a beer and watch sports. Not so great of a place if you are trying to plan something for a group. I called in and booked their party room for 19 people. They "fully reserved" this room for me. I went ahead and invited all 19 people to Spectators. Alex, a manager at Spectators, then called me back 2 days before the day of the party and told me "Oops, we double booked this so we need to cancel your reservation." Alex did not give any other options for me, just told me that we simply could not come. He was rude on the phone after delivering this not so pleasant news. Safe to say that I will now take all of my business elsewhere.

I was down there for a work expo and wanted to play some golden tee. As the goldentee site said there was one on location. Not only was there 1 but 2 machines there. The place was nice and clean and there was a group of 8 that seemed to enjoy themselves and some kids with them too. Reasonable prices on the beer and shots I was drinking even 9pm. I did have a problem with the machine locking up and restarting and the manger on duty was able to refund my money. If you are in the area or staying there for work I would suggest stopping by. The have tons of screens for all your sports needs.

Took a good 10 minuets before the waitress came over to the table and acknowledged us.. after that we had to stop and ask her for everything. The only time she came to check on us was to take our plates away.. She seemed very out of it, but paid most of her attention to the big group sitting next to us. Food was good- nothing spectacular. Also- the sign on the front says shirt and shoes required. I saw way too many customers walking around without shoes .. a little gross when youre trying to eat.

Good food. Did have to wait a very long time to get waited on but the waitress brought an additional side at no charge to make up for it and we didnt even complain or ask for it. One order came out wrong (2 super dogs). Ate one out of hunger and sent the other back and asked politely to not be charged for the other. They comped both and gave a coupon for cheese curds. Never been treated so well at a place for a couple things. Great staff. Will definitely go back.

Waitress wasnt the nicest. Filled up everyones glass except for mine and was rude when I asked for a refill. Food was mediocre AT BEST. We got the boneless wings and they had gross breading. Potato salad was poorly made. Someone had told me they were better than Buffalo Wild Wings, WRONG. When we got our bill for the two of us, $45!! For poorly made food and bad service. NEVER COMING BACK. Dont waste your money.

I have breakfast here every Thursday. I place the same order wheat toast two pieces of bacon and two hard eggs. When my order arrived today the eggs were not cooked correctly. I had told our waitress about this, she reordered the eggs and they came out the same way again. I have had the same waitress place this order every week I do not believe she would have placed the ordered wrong.

This is a great addition to the Altoona community. They have a full bar along with some great micro brews. The food was surprisingly delicious from day one, I have yet to be dissapointed. There were a couple times when an order was wrong or food took too long to come out, each time the manager took note without me even saying anything. They handled it well beyond my expectations.

Really great bar food and drinks. Great for a Cubs crowd. Had a really great melt and my friend had extremely large chicken fingers. Very happy with the service as well, our bartender was excellent. Would recommend coming here for a sports event (AWESOME AMOUNT OF TVS)... Very well maintained place as well! Will bring friends here
