Everytime we have gone here we have to wait to be seated 10 plus minutes when it is clearly not busy or crowded. There is a host booth with no host. The managers never seem to have a good head on traffic flow. Our drink got forgotten then when it got to us the order was wrong. After that the food took over an hour to get to us and our medium burger came out so well it was terrible. Every time we go here it has been this way but being local we wanted to have high hopes. One time we seated ourselves due to waiting for 20 min at the door and the manager made a comment loud enough for us to hear "did they really just seat themselves." Why yes since you seem to not have to capacity to guide we took the initiative. Its sad to say but this place is flat out awful, and we dont plan on giving it any more chances.

Horrible service. Food has always been pretty good for bar food. The service has always sucked but last night we actually had to leave because no one even acknowledged us after 15 minutes. And, no one cared as we walked out of the place. No one ever said a word to us the whole time. Weve been going there for years because of the food. The regulars are the only customers who get any sort of attention. Weve even overlooked the times when weve gone there for a night of drinking and karaoke and theyve tacked on some sort of extra gratuity on our credit card, but last night was the final straw. We wont be going back, sorry to say because again, the food is great! Sad!

Drinks were amazing and the bartender Amy was awesome! I ordered the jerk chicken wings wasnt a huge fan I only took one bite called the manger (Jeff) over to send it back and he said no lol I was in shock that never happened before requested my money back or just something to make it even and said no again we just ended up on agreeing on another drink so I lefted kinda satisfied. The atmosphere is great nice music especially for someone who like hip-hop to country and everything in between. Overall great first experience and dont let me not liking the jerk chicken detour you apparently its on of the best sellers. Im just not into the spicy stuff.

Went in on Sun Afternoon,(after giving the place a rest for over a year for previous food & service issues) food was overcooked & bland, wings which were good sized & meaty had sauce (good sauce) poured on them, not tossed, Italian fries were burnt & dry, the Tuna Melt had a thin layer of of tuna mix on half-cooked dry bread, & the fries might have been good if they were more than half-cooked. Our server she was nice (the bartender) only came to check on us when it dawned on her, mind you there were only 12 people sitting at the bar and the manager was sitting at a table two behind us, never asked how we were doing.. We wont be back!!

We like this place. It can be a little loud, but it has good "bar food". We havent tried much on the menu beyond the appetizers, but they were pretty good. The few times we were there, a number of people playing trivia, if thats your thing (you know who you are). Lots of televisions for you sports folks. A decent selection for kids menus for those of you with kids (you know who you are, too... Hopefully). Parking can be a little packed, but we have always managed to find something). Fries are just OK, for those of you who are passionate about fried potatoes. Decent beer selection.

Friendly servers and bartenders. A new face now and then but employees seem to stick around, indicating they hire right and treat workers well. The food hits too. Wings fried good and hard, no flabby skin here. Expert burgers, too. Cooked to temps with no guff. I ask for medium-rare and they deliver. Every time. The crowd is always fun too, a perfect cross-section of the neighborhoods Tailgate sits between. Expect to find every measure of age, race, socio-economic status. Nothing makes a local watering hole better.

Their wings are really good, and they make their own ranch and seasoned sour cream among other things. One thing I HAVE to say is the fact that if you order on happy hour wings and have like a couple left, you either get chewed out or given a dirty look for taking some wings that are on an okay deal home. It is not like I ordered 20 and am taking 17 home. It is like ordering 10 and taking 2 or 3 home. Plus sometimes the waitresses can be rude, and the owner is a dick.

Horrible. I just moved into the area and found only this bar/restaurant. Wanted to take my boyfriend out on a mini date since the chaos of moving is over...we got drinks and found a twist tie in our appetizer.. . Service was slow and pushy... I would not recommend this place to anyone... maybe it was a bad night but it wasnt even busy.. i left very unhappy... over priced for horrible everything.

We waited over 15 minutes to be seated, and it wasnt busy at all. After we finally got seated, we waited over 1 1/2 hours to get our food, my burger was dry, tough, and way overcooked. The bun was hard and stale. We have gone there in the past, and the service and food was awful, too. We gave them another chance, but they just arent worth it. The manager was incredibly rude, too.

My husband and I have been to this establishment 3 times in the last two months. Id give the food 2 stars. Service is slow, even during slow times! They always claim to be under staffed. Waitresses are pretty rude/snotty. Definitely not worth the trip. Gave them 3 shots considering we live close but 3 strikes youre out! Will not be back!

Food is good for a bar but servers and bartenders are rude. The staff is not interested in their customers. Just watched a bartender tell a lady she could not sit at a table because it was a 6 top which makes sense if the bar was busy but there are no more than 20 people here and they are all at the bar.

Had a coupon for 1/2 off burger with a purchase for a burger. Unfortunately you cant use it during Happy Hour. Maybe if.management would.allow the coupon to be used during Happy Hour, more tables would be filled. Sadly only 3 tables(myself included) were present out of lots of empty tables.

Good food and drinks. South Minneapolis can be hard for finding a good sports bar. This is one of them. They have a lot of TVs and a great crowd shows up for Vikings games. I like their hamburgers and their fries a really good with their seasoned sour cream. Specials most nights.

I enjoy this place a lot. The food is pretty good and the atmosphere is fun. The people are the best part, though, because it really is like a bunch of your college buddies started up a bar. Theyre cheerful and good natured, and it gives the whole place a good atmosphere.

Typical bar atmosphere with tVs and more. Nice place to sit down or gather around the bar. Good local and big beer selection. The burgers here are great. I had the mushroom Swiss burger nothing to complain about. Been here many times and never had a bad experience!
