Ron Burgundy

Extremely mediocre, at best. Lots of out of stock items, they even ran out of burger buns as they were making our order. As others have said, if you're selling an $18 burger, provide real silverware. By the looks of the tax notice from the treasurer on the door, place may not be long for this world.

Pretty bare bones establishment. We tried it out for happy hour. They did not have menus, and beer selections were on a screen behind the bar that constantly changed. The bartender was not very helpful with recommendations. She was working the bar and tables along the window. Limited spirit selection, but had a local iPA tjat was good. Maybe an off night, but probably will not make a return trip.

Convinced they are part of a trafficking ring. Went in last night with my family when I first arrived I went to the restroom. An older gentlemen asked me if my hair was real, then proceeding to try to get the bathroom door open while I was using the restroom. I called someone to come to the restroom door so that I could come out. While being at the bar for about 30 minutes each man out of their group took turns coming up to us and we continued to ignore them. We recorded each incident because of how weird the situation was. They then sent the final man who is the manager apparently who told us they close at 2, it was only 11pm. A fight broke out because of the many harassment and sexual assault attempts. We were minding out business indulged in a conversation giving them no reason to even need to speak to us. If I wasn’t afraid I would go back for a refund, I will be requesting the camera footage to press harassment charges. The bartender witnessed everything that was happening and never stepped in to help us with the situation as well.

This is actually a really good place! Great location with big windows for people watching. Nice variety of beers and good food. Tuesday nights they have a special where you can get any burger and any beer for only $10. It's a really good deal. There's an upstairs with pool tables and stuff.

This was my first time eating here. I had a pleasant experience. We ordered the Froot Loop shot. It tasted exactly like Froot Loops! We shared a chicken roll appetizer. It had a slight kick to it, but was pretty good. I had the BBQ sandwich. It was ok. The fries were so good! They were like spiral planks. For dessert, we shared the fried cheesecake. It was soooo good with the chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. The dining room was spacious and roomy.

The service was attentive. Requested food suggestion from the bartender...great suggestion. Fried Chicken Cordon Blue was spot on and perfect. Onion rings were fresh and hot. Beer was cold and refreshing. Free Verse Hazy IPA 💕
