We stopped by during a rain storm and sat in the covered bar area. The atmosphere was enjoyable. My 2 daughters had a burger and chicken wrap, both of which they devoured. The service was quick and friendly. I'd definitely recommend stopping by for a drink at the bar or staying for a meal.

Great food, fun atmosphere. The waitress could’ve been a little more friendly. She just seemed annoyed.

I attended Tuesday Karaoke nights over a period of several weeks to again critique the experience as I attend many shows in Tampa and Pinellas. The service could be better concerning both the bar servers and the karaoke service.The servers and staff were not very attentive even when trying to get their attention and lacked enthusiasm at times. Sometimes, they were selective in whom they waited on at the bar first or quickly .The Rock After Dark (RAD) karaoke was OK at times and other times, not, on the several nights I attended. As it was when I attended their shows before at Green Iguana and several other Tampa venues.As always, the KJ Jason is very genuine, nice, welcoming, and cordial. He always appears appreciative and happy to see regulars attend his shows and made me feel welcome each time when I first arrived. However, the show still could really benefit from a singer queue of at least showing the upcoming 5 plus singers, or it being regularly announced if preferred vs a queue and immediately moving on to the next singer instead of songs played in between. Patrons do want to know when they approximately will be singing next as it does impact our plans of the night and continued attendance at these shows . It was very frustrating and disappointing being told it would be about a hour until the next time singing and then after waiting over 90 minutes, it was near the end of the show and still, if and when, I was singing was not clear even when asked again. There is frequently much focus on one group or groups singing together repeatedly which takes away from variety in the show and impacts the rotation. The karaoke songs themselves at times were overwhelming with the background vocals too loud to the point, I did not feel I was singing, or that I could be heard. This also was inconsistent, varying by singer. I have had these experiences at several of their shows. Sometimes the rotations were fair and made sense, but many times they did not. This prompted me to again take a break from this show for a while and attend the other local shows in the neighborhood that are more consistent . Having the singer queue and setting clear, fair, consistent expectations and experiences along with the servers and staff being more inviting and attentive would make for a better night and repeat business.I have always enjoyed the live music nights. The local talent is always excellent and entertaining.

I love this place. First time i’ve been but they have gator bites!!! I thought I’d only find these by the beach/st. pete but the whole menu is great and Christine was such a sweetheart. The bartenders and servers fit the vibe and are so sweet. Thanks for the experience!!

We came here with our friends that are locals. We got there and it was busy but not packed by any means. Lots of open tables and 6-8 waiters. We were a big group of 7 and after 15 minutes had to find someone to ask for menus and waters. We has service like this all night, waiting over half an hour after finishing our food assuming we would get the check but again had to track down our waitress to get the bill. We were clearly done and looking for the check. On top of that, my "mac n cheese" was kraft from a box and full of liquid at the bottom, chicken got added to my meal without asking and I was charged for it and the sides under the entree menu aren't priced but cost $5 a pop and you don't know until you get the bill. We were there for almost 2 hours. Not a fun or enjoyable meal for our last night in Tampa.
My family & I ate here after searching online for a place to eat as we drove from outta town. The food was pretty good. The live music was awesome (shockingly for a Wed. night). Our server was very accommodating and friendly. Overall our experience was a positive one.
