    They changed the quiet axe throwing to a loud, annoying arcade. Food is still delicious, we will continue to come in warmer weather and utilize the patio.

    Great ribs, chicken and pulled pork. Wide beer selection and terrific lager, not usually my thing. Tasty Mac and cheese and slaw. Video games for the kiddies.

    In Walnut Creek, they’ve changed the outdoor seating area, it used to be perfect with a canvas tent over his head and multiple tables close to the restaurant Now they have long tables close to the restaurant for supplies/ease for servers and it’s chilly outside even with the heaters I wish they would go back to their previous set up in the outdoor area in Walnut Creek

    The food is great, I've had many dishes I would order again. The burnt ends and the brisket are excellent. The sauces are good, too. Larger than average portions I would say. It's hard to park, but the area is overrun with restaurants of all variety. Its a sports bar. Lots of screens and noise. Plan accordingly and expect good things.

    Party of 5; overall food was not good. 2 people had ribeyes, said the taste was ok but the meat was very tough. The "roasted" veggies that came with it were NOT roasted, they were steamed. One person had shrimp tacos; said they were just "ok." 2 meat combo platter: brisket was very dry, like it had been sitting around for several days. Not juicy or tender. Jalapeno sausage was ok. Sides were fair- garlic mash and mac 'n cheese. One person had surf and turf; he had nothing specific to say other than it was "alright." Apps: pork belly burnt ends. They were fine. "Hand Grenades" (jalepeno poppers) were not good. Desserts: apple tart was medium. One person ordered deep-fried oreos and said they were simply soggy, way too much batter on them, very little cookie. The pretzel with ice cream: she said not enough cinnamon or ice cream. Mostly Bavarian pretzel. Service was fine; server seemed to be new; he wasn't sure what was still available and what wasn't. A for effort.

    Disappointed. We went to celebrate my husband's 75th birthday. We both ordered double smash burgers with waffle fries. Dry and tasteless. How can burgers be so boring and lacking any imagination or color? I swear the food looked and tasted like it had been cooked the day before and reheated. Airplane food? The restaurant was empty, but our unhappy waitress couldn't be bothered. $64 later, we both agreed, should have gone to In & Out. Why did I leave a tip? Won't be going back.

    We reserved on open table and were promptly seated on arrival. The restaurant is attractive and tables well spaced. Lots of screens immediately identify it's sports bar character, without excess noise. We have modest appetites and split an appetizer and entree, and could not quite finish either. Tasty margaritas complimented the very well prepared and seasoned the Brussel Sprout appetizer. The huge full slab of meaty ribs were perfectly smoked and cooked with a "just right" bit of crispy edges. The side of sweet potato casserole was of generous size and with a hint of seasonings. The cornbread side was our only disappointment. Good appearance and decent texture, but absolutely no flavor. Purr order was taken promptly, and delivery of food and drinks was very quick, perhaps a bit too quick on there entree, which arrived immediately after the entree hurt the table. It got there before the Margarita. During the meal we were asked by all the people dropping off food or drink if everything was good, but after we finished it was quite awhile before our server wandered over to ask about dessert. Prices are a bit high, but are justified by the ambiance, quality and portion sizes. We will return.

    Had 5:15 dinner reservation on a Friday night. Ordered the beef burnt ends and they were out. Next ordered the Asian Noodle Salad and they were out of the noodles. Wound up having the chicken Asian salad minus the noodles. Disappointing start at the beginning of a weekend.
