   Service was alright at best, and it was NOT busy. Our appetizers arrived with our meal, and the appetizer platter ordered was received very last, and it took like 45 minutes to get the food. I'd almost be scared of how long it would take had they been busy. Buffalo Shrimp is chewy and seemed frozen and not the same fresh butterflied hand breaded with sauce like it used to be. The after taste almost seemed like they were going bad or freezer burned. Bone in wings were over cooked, Boneless wings were chewy, however the sauces were tasty! Fried pickles, cheese curds, and Burger were tasty, although the burger was over cooked. I'd compare the beef rolls to arbys meat texture except with no flavor, and soggy. (Maybe if they were brought out 1st like a typical appetizer they'd be fresher?) My drink was good but took 20 minutes to receive. Never once were we checked on during eating asking how anything is. You'd think if you have 2 full orders of shrimp with only 2 bites taken out of 2 shrimp (yes we got 2 because we had 7 people and everyone typically loves it, and only ONE beef roll was eaten from the platter, AND a separate order you'd see something was wrong. My family and I used to LOVE coming here. Service used to be impeccable. Food delicious and fast, and it has always been a busier crowd in the past. I hesitated on going because we had a similar experience about a year ago but not nearly as bad as today. A year ago put a bad taste in our mouths, and we wanted to bad for today to be better, but today was the icing on the cake. I dont typically leave bad reviews either, but I also firmly believe that you cannot fix something if you don't know it is broken.

   Short on wait staff, a few misses with orders and delays but mostly positive experience. Food was excellent.

   Great sports bar for watching events. Food is a little high priced but tastes great.

   Our servers did a fabulous job of being attentive during a busy Saturday night. They even listened and took extra care checking on ingredients for our food allergies at the table.
