My husband and I came in at 8pm on a Friday night, we werent too sure as to whether we could pick our own seats or if we would be allocated a seat. A young boy (about 5 or 6) came up to us straight away and said we could sit anywhere and followed us to our seats. Same child gave us our menu and asked to take our drink order. My husband and I both ordered Coke as we didnt feel it was appropriate to ask a child what was on tap. He informed a waitress (?) that we wanted 2 cokes. Our drinks came out, young boy again and it was then that the actual waitress asked if anyone had taken care of us yet, we informed her that only the child had spoken to us. She took our order 35 minutes after our arrival. While we were waiting for our burgers, we were able to witness the poor service and hygiene practices that this place seems to have adopted: - Young waitress with long blonde hair, which was untied,spent more time on her phone in the back corner with the Mohammed Ali statue than she did taking customer orders. There were at least 3 other tables looking around and shaking their heads as they watched her texting madly. This waitress walked around occasionally, however she seemed to ignore waiting customers and always went back to her phone. - The 2 bar men decided to start a spit ball (chewing up pieces of paper and shooting them out with a straw, for those who are uncertain of this phrase) fight with each other. What on earth possesses someone to do this behind a bar? Both guys were a bad shot and who knows where those spit balls went? We received our order, burger patties were a little salty and burned but still somewhat manageable. Fries were cold. We asked for the bill and left the minimum tip (15% that was calculated on the bill) as we received minimal service, only to find that the waitress has given herself a little more of a tip when she has processed our card. In short, we wont be coming back again or recommending this business. Like my review, there was only 1 star at this establishment and it was the charming 5 year old that we had the pleasure of meeting here. His parents should be very proud of, not only their young man but also themselves, for raising such a gem!

Visited this location July 1, 2, 3, and 4th. Everyday was awesome except July 4th. The female bartender acted as if she hated being there and complained about it being dead. We visited several establishments and it was the only one like this. While we were sitting at the bar, another couple came in but the bartenders were sitting on our side of the bar. They did not see them because they were sitting and were on there CELL PHONES and after a few minutes they left because they were not served. They did not even open the windows in an effort to sell anything. The bartenders on the first three nights were awesome! Jerry should look on camera at the bartenders on July 4 and FIRE them. But.....they do have the coldest and best prices on beer! Randy was great!!!

The place looks nice and it has a fun atmosphere. The featured performer, Chris Gale, was really good. I had the single hamburger and fries. I was a bit disappointed in that the burger, which was $9.95 and included fries, tasted just like the hamburgers I used to eat in the high school cafeteria. Not worth the price. My daughter had the ribs and I did taste one of those - they were very good. The fries which were steak fries had some kind of seasoning that was unnecessary, and they didnt seemed to be cooked just right - they werent crisp. Again, great atmosphere, great service, great ribs but there needs to be a bit of improvement on the burgers for sure.

Ill say this as lightly as possible, this place was absolutely terrible. We waited AT LEAST an hour just to get our food, which hasnt even arrived. This was NOT counting the wait for our beverages, only two miller lights and a sweet tea. The service was indeed no exception to this cluttered mess, at least twenty minutes it took just for our waiter to even notice us, they also rushed our order quite noticably, and they even forgot our menus. The only decent part of this place was the music, played by Chris Gales. A very splendid musician indeed.

Ribs are fatty and the dry rub is literally something "sprinkled" on the ribs and very bland. Tried to send them back and the server actually said "well no one is complaining" and when I showed him all the fat he said - quote, "we cant do nothing bout the ribs" and he was supposed to be a manager. Pretty much told me I still had to pay for the ribs even though I barely touched them. Had to get his boss and he was equally dense. If I could give zero stars I would.

The musician, Chris Gales, was very talented and friendly! However, the food is terrible. Everything tasted like pre-made frozen food that was tossed on the grill or in a fryer straight from the freezer, then served. Particularly the hamburger meat. For sure not worth the 40-something dollars spent for 2 adults and 2 kids to eat (and the adults shared an entree and small appetizer).

Driving home through Memphis and growing up in a wrestling family. Lawlers was a must. Walked in and was promptly greeted by a very friendly staff. Ordered some drinks and sweet bbq wings. Was shocked when the wings came out as whole wings. They were delicious. Look around at all of the Kings robes and jackets several crowns. cases of belts and awards.

Huge wrestling fan here! Wanted to enjoy but will never know. After waiting over an hour we only received our drinks (and not even the good alcoholic kind). Asked our server to check for us to be told at least 30 mins (we only order the gumbo that should have been ready to go in the pot and a burger) Enjoyed the singer and the wrestling memorabilia....

It was a little messy, but we did go in a Friday and there was a ton of happy drunks having a good time. Ithe was too packed to really take pictures of all the fun memorabilia on the wall- and I dont the the "BBQ Sample Platter" was worth 20$ (3 ribs, pulled pork, fries, coleslaw and beans) but it was still a fun experience!

Really wanted to like this place. Good prices but the bartender was more interested in combing out her hair behind the bar, which is disgusting, then helping customers. The kitchen closes very early if you are hungry. Could be a great spot if it had some direction, just seems a little lost.

Went there last night before Smackdown Live. Arrived at 4:30, they only had one manager, one server, a bartender, and a doorman. It took 15 minutes to get waited on at a table, another 15 for our drinks. I think if you are into wrestling this is a cool hangout but the service is lacking.

Service and food was awful. Waited 30 minutes for order to be taken. Food took another hour and a half even after addressing dissatisfaction. Jerry just walked around talking to people and getting his picture taken...could care less about patrons unless they were fans.

Been here an hour and still no food. Took almost 30min to take our order and get tea. Good luck getting sweetener or a straw. I almost understand if they were busy but barely anyone in here. This place pretty much sucks!
