Haven't been in two tears because of a bad experience.Much better this time.Restaurant was 90% full with only two waitresses for first hour but they handle it well with no delays.

We were a party of 4 adults and 2 kids who came in to watch the Iowa State BB Game. We were seated and ordered. When we were almost done eating they told us they were moving us to 2 - 4 person tables, high bar tables, splitting our family. Reason being they had a party of 15 coming in and they needed our tables. Not 1 table had a reservation sign on it. They asked us if we were moving and I said no...I didn't want to . So we ended up leaving and missing the 2nd half of the Big 12 Championship game.We were ordering drinks from the bar before and after our food order.They made a lot of $$$$ from us before we left.I talked with the manager, sounds like it's just what they do, take a reservation and anticipate when another table will leave or move them if they don't leave.We left and won't return.If you read on Rookies claims we were told before we were seated.WE WERE NOT TOLD THAT.I was told by the manager that they do not put up reserved signs and they estimate when customers may leave.Just so happens we were not ready to leave.Our waitress even apologized that she was busy and didn't get back to get our food order for quite some time after bringing our drinks.We were half way done eating when she informed us we needed to move.

The ambiance is what you would expect from an older sports bar. Great middle aged staff that is very attentive, engaging, and friendly. I am so tired of younger service people who are more interested in chatting with other staff and their phone than actually doing their job. The homemade poppers are the best I have ever had. I was less thrilled with the wings, which were over cooked.

Came in today with family here for the Christmas weekend. Happens to be my nephews birthday. Service & food was great as always, as we are getting ready to leave our server brings out a cup with treats in it to the birthday boy. We're all thinking he gets to choose 1. Nope! They have put together a kids cup with treats & a small gift for my nephew. Great people!! Great place to eat!! Glad to support this business!

Really wanted to order a sandwich after doing door dash for 5 hours... online says they were open.. showed up and saw employees inside but door was locked. Hours on the door says they close at 10pm... its currently 9:11pm as I type this. Called, no answer... called again, someone answered and I asked why the door was locked if it says they were open.. he said they were closed and that was the end of the conversation... you should probably post that on the door or online...

Stopped by tonight for the BYO Burger and BBQ beans. Great service and attentive staff. Food was served very quickly considering they had a good crowd. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a Sports Pub with full menu options.
