I never leave bad reviews but this time I just have to do it. Ordered the Elk burger and the wife ordered a veggie burger. I ordered the elk burger medium and it arrived cooked with what I can only describe as obliterated. It was weird. I couldn’t put my finger on it and then I realized…the burger was microwaved. It was hard as a rock in certain spots just like if you cook a microwave pizza too long. The veggie burger was also clearly microwaved. Someone should send Kitchen Nightmares over there because I spent 50 bucks on a meal that was inedible. The tots were bad too. No salt and soggy.. Also the burger wasn’t seasoned so it was flavorless and it was as hard as a hockey puck. We ordered pizza from World Famous because at least we know they are reliable. Run, don’t walk away from this place.

Less than desirable pub fare. Jalapeno poppers were inconsistently prepared and served with salsa that had unfortunately gone sour and was not replaced. Breaded shrimp is nothing special. Service was semi-attentive, had to ask for silverware and condiments. Return visit is unlikely.

the guy bartending needs a new job... grinchtini had no chocolate syrup, white russian was all creme, seemed so bored all while not making drinks correctly and over filling them with ice. just such a disapointment. its not hard to care!

The perfect spot to catch the game and actually eat good food! Plus every visit has been a great experience from the food to the staff!

The food is always a culinary touchdown! From their classic burgers to crispy wings drenched in your choice of sauce ( all made from scratch in house!). Their menu is stacked with so many different fresh, creative options which is so rare for a sports bar!

There are plenty of giant screens everywhere broadcasting every game imaginable, a big bonus to catch more than one game!

The ownership and staff are top-notch! Friendly faces greet you like family the moment you walk in, they're passionate about what they do, and it shows in every detail, from the service to the spot-on recommendations. You'll feel right at home, whether you're a regular or a first-timer!

Wednesday's is their epic bingo night and we always have such a blast mid week! Not to mention they give away some pretty cool prizes!

10/10 would highly recommend!

Hometown just reintroduced their taco Tuesday and trivia night. I was hesitant to go at first due to the pandemic, but my worries were eased when I saw that the tables were separated (some removed) and not every table was taken. My friends and I sat between the bar and the pinball machines which created a very comfortable distance. The tacos were good, the staff was friendly and responsive, and the drink they recommended was great too! It was just like the good old days, but with more space.

Service is HORRIBLE!! Came in, sat down for over 15 min. Neither bartender even acknowledged or came over to ask anything. Wow! Had to go up to the bar and watch the bartender go past 4 times with no acknowledgement. However, the local drunks bellied up to the bar were getting asked for refills like there was no tomorrow. You would think the bartenders would understand that the tips are a direct result of the service. This is not the bar to go to for good service.
