More of a restaurant than a sports bar, they're more upscale but not expensive. There are several TVs around the restaurant and bar areas. We are here shortly after arriving at our hotel down the alley. While the bar was full, there was still plenty of seating in the dining areas. The hostess found us a spot where he could see the game(s) after several attempts. Didn't order any drinks even though they had some good specials going on. I ordered the cowboy burger and he got the Chicken sandwich. My burger was cooked to order, juicy and really good. It was big too, I couldn't finish it. I only wished they had candied the jalapenos instead of the bacon. He liked his chicken sandwich, no complaints whatsoever so A+ there. Our server was pleasant and attentive, even when it got busy as the night went on.

I’m in the area for a trade show and was just looking for something within walking distance of the Convention Center. I hit the jackpot! From the warm greeting on, it was a great experience. The staff are exceptional. They have a nice selection of draft beer. The burger was awesome. If I wasn’t flying back to Mexico tomorrow, I’d return for another dinner.

I've eaten here at least 5 times and tried something new each time. The food is just so bland. It's as if they solely rely on either a single sauce or maybe natural flavors to shine, but it never does. I once asked for avocado slices to not be on my sandwich and that was actually the only source of moisture on it. The food is cooked just fine but the flavor is severely lacking, and I always groan when people suggest we go here.

This place was just awful. We came for the Billy Joel show and having worked in restaurants for years I was appalled. We called ahead of time to reserve a table and find out any other information we might need. We were told the wrong hours and they failed to mention they would have a small limited menu. We got there a couple hours early and it was very busy which we understand, but the boys that were at the front were terrible. They told us the wrong information several times, when we did finally get sat we were directly in front of the door. We couldn't take our coats off and the food got cold almost immediately. Our server was too busy to bother with us and the food took forever. When it came it was unpalatable, but by that time we couldn't go anywhere else. My husband and I each ate about half our food and frankly were just happy to leave. We will never go there again.

Went with a group from work. Our server was fantastic! She was very friendly and accommodating.
I like the atmosphere and the restaurant vibe. I had the bison burger and fries. It was mediocre. The appetizers were great. We had smoked spinach dip, buffalo cauliflower and the loaded fries.
I liked it enough and other meals were enjoyed so I’d return but wouldn’t do the Bison.
