“ Came for Tuesday 8pm Trivia : D with some homies. This was actually super super fun, the trivia was a good level of hard and easy; we have some very *special* friends who knew some of the harder questions. They give samples on the beer : 000 and the beer was great, huge menu for drinks. Server was gr8, split our checks, no hassle, even split the pork nachos between the three of us that shared it. : D!!!! SO HAPPY!!!! Cinnamon Arsenal Supremacy ”
“ First I love their tater tots. They are square and amazing. I have been here a few different times but yesterday visit was so good and so fun.there were five of us and we went for happy hour. How lucky we were to get Bennie server?!He was charming, attentive,and had great opinions. We starts with wine and the Dubai chocolate pistachio mule. Who knew chocolate from Dubai is a thing and it is so good. We ordered apps since it was happy hour and two dollars off. The spicy tuna amazing nitro hot or spicy but tasteful. The girls ordered the cheese curds which according to the twenty year olds Fire! The entrees were pretty good as well. Everyone left there full and happy. And the prices do not break the bank. If u go ask for Bennie it will be worth the trip. ”
“ Great atmosphere and an even greater selection on tap! Service was friendly, and the food came relatively fast considering the crowds. The happy hour specials are FANTASTIC. Seriously, 3.75 for a beer felt like a time warp from the 50s, and 8.50 for a flight sent my New York butt into a coma. The salmon was a little oily, but still tasty. The burgers looked good too, especially the fries. I'd return just for the atmosphere, so I'll round my 4 stars to 5. ”
“ The presentation of this food speaks for itself! Beautifully plated meals, a huge drink menu with great officials, and awesome service from the wait staff! The vibe inside the restaurant was modern yet cozy. Can't wait to go back to try something else! ”
“ I always forget about this spot, but was in the mood for some trivia and made a reservation! It definitely gets busy on trivia nights and creates a really fun atmosphere!! I ordered the Good Morning America Espresso Martini and WOW. Not only was it stunning but so delicious. It was made with amaretto and had a lovely and rich cherry flavor! I absolutely loved it! Ordered the brussel sprouts app, they're deep fried and so good! And burgers are discounted on Tuesdays from 9-11, so I got the burger with fries! It was solid, and the perfect brain fuel during trivia! ”
