Unique food with great service and atmosphere. I had the Mac n cheese. Great cocktail and beer selection. Bar has 2 TVs. Walls are large garage doors that are open in good weather.

Stopped in for 2 drinks & conversation on a Friday afternoon. Great, casual atmosphere, Great mixed drinks & selection of tap beers. Mo Olig was our very congenial & attentive server & just based on his manners, attentiveness & and friendliness, we'll be back! Bought a tee shirt on the way out & the manager was friendly, respectful & kind. *recommend*

Who ever said this place has a great bourbon selection was completely high! No bourbon menu, the selection is average to below average at best. Very disappointing. Will not ever return!!

The food was absolutely amazing, but the service was atrocious on an only slightly busy night. Stopping by to ask if a party wants drinks 30 seconds after they sit down is part of the problem, as no one has had time to even look at various menus, but not coming back again for over 10 minutes is awful service (3-5 minutes is more than enough to look at a menu, probably less than that). The waitress was then inattentive all evening, and when a manager/owner tried to help out, she brought the wrong things. It probably doesn't help that well more than half the staff is morbidly obese and incompetent, but that also seems to be their clientele. It's also VERY expensive for the quantity one gets, even though I was satisfied and full after the meal (my partner was not, however). It's nice looking, but it's also a loud and chaotic venue. Update: the service was much better recently, but the manager raved about the Chimichanga, which was bland and almost utterly flavorless. It's the one item thus far on this menu that should either be eliminated or vastly changed. It's truly terrible, except for the salsa on top (and I got nothing but grisly and awful fatty meat that wasn't as well cooked as the Dip I had last week). I see below that someone else had this recently and thought it was terrible as well.
