If you're looking for a great burger and in-house breaded chicken tenders, this is your place. Our food was delicious and service was excellent! It was great to see DJ after many years! We will definitely be back.

Great food. Loved the royal reds/crawfish boil! Atmosphere is very casual and definitely a pub setting. It was a bit confusing going in as we didn’t know we had to order the food at the bar. That said, food was great! Burgers are good too.

First off I was reading the last review from Michael Inlos and what I want to tell if Mr Inlos is the undertow has been an establishment as long as I've been living it used to be the loose moose. Claire is like a daughter to me and she is the most generous absolutely caring and giving bartender I know. the undertow and all their employees are very generous with open arms. And if Mr Michael Inlos has anything to say I would love to meet him

A Terrible Experience at The Undertow: Never Again!My recent encounters at The Undertow have been nothing short of horrendous, and I can confidently say that I will never set foot in that establishment again. As someone who frequently enjoys the nightlife in the area, I have always been a generous tipper, often leaving 100% of my bill as a token of appreciation. However, the treatment I received on my last visits left me utterly dismayed.A few weeks ago, while I was enjoying myself at the bar, I was confronted by the bartender, Claire (if that is indeed her real name). She accused me of walking out on my tab during a previous visit, despite my vivid recollection of tipping her $50 on a $38 bill just two days prior. She even went as far as claiming that I was the only person with the last name Inlow in the area. To avoid any further embarrassment, I reluctantly paid my bill again, tipping her $50 once more.To my astonishment, last night, around 1 am, when I ordered my first drink and handed Claire my card, I was met with a barrage of accusations. She yelled at me, insinuating that I was attempting to evade payment once again. I was shocked and mortified by her behavior. In an attempt to diffuse the situation, I apologized and offered to unlock my card, as it is always locked due to being a victim of identity theft. However, they never ran my card until I left, except for last night.In all my 45 years on this earth, I have never experienced such humiliation. To be treated with such disrespect on not just one occasion, but twice, is absolutely unacceptable. I strongly urge others to think twice before considering patronizing The Undertow.

It was good food, slow service, nice waitresses who were apologetic for the slow service. Smelled like an ashtray when we left.

The stench of cigarette smoke was terrible!! Never stayed for food. Had to leave after 10 minutes, as already getting a headache from the smoke.

Okay, so the place is a bar so only over 21 are allowed and it's one of the few places that allow smoking inside, so it's not very appealing when you're trying to eat.The food, we had the royal red shrimp boil with corn potatoes and sausage.The shrimp were kinda mushy, the corn was very good as well as the potatoes, and the sister in law said the sausage was just okay.Plenty of parking clean bathrooms and a good bartender.The price was okay for what we ate

If you like royal reds and don't mind an overworked, uncommunicative, rude, bartender, no visible instructions on how or where to order, no alternative menu for non seafood diner, and a venu so thick with cigar and cigarette smoke that you need to wash all the clothing you wore after spending $90 for AYCE royal reds, cold corn, and cold melted butter, then you will love this stinky bar. It took forever, but the Bloody Mary was tasty.
