The food here is pretty good, I just hate the prices. It’s almost $2 for 1 wing and you get no discount when you buy more so it gets pretty expensive if you and your friends eat a lot of wings. That being said, the doob wings are fantastic. They’re buffalo wings that are fried and then GRILLED. The chili is decent as is the spinach and artichoke dip but the chips that they came with were kind of stale.

I came in during Happy HourI asked the bartender for drink specials she directed me to a menu with themed cocktails however my drink didn’t look anything like the picture it was watered down and tasteless … I was highly disappointed, I went to the bathroom to come back to my table and a check ticket was thrown on the table she never asked me if I needed another drink or how was my drink… she was focused on the locals that came in after me. It was a disappointment. I don’t recommend this place if you’re not part of the establishment demographic. I was passing through town and deserved the same treatment as the locals…I paid $10 for a glass of water…with a splash of cranberry juice. I was able to charge my phone, use the bathroom and wait in a warm place for my train. If that’s all you need it might be worth checking out.

Poor quality food with poor service. The second time I came here, I ended up walking out as no staff was able to greet or serve us. Came for happy hour at 5:30 left by 6

Unfortunately, on thanksgiving eve I was witness to a really unfortunate event. There was a short brunette bartender working who was refusing paying patrons water because she “wasn’t their hydration station”. As someone who works in the service industry I understand how hard it can be, but refusing WATER?!Regardless of if you’re having a bad night this is completely unacceptable ESPECIALLY in an establishment that serves alcohol. It’s incredibly irresponsible to 1. Not serve people water because “you dont want to” and 2. To not pour water for those who are drinking and/or sober.The young lady who this happened to had ordered alcohol. I witnessed her buy multiple shots and beers and cocktails for her table. So she was DEFINITELY a paying customer.It was also crazy when said brunette bartender started getting patrons to chant “leave” to the girl when she brought up the complaint.Irresponsible and disgusting behavior. I will not be supporting this business unless this is rectified.
