SudSuckers Sports Bar • $

“It definitely has changed from when I have been there years ago, but it's definitely for the better. Whe. You walk in its nice and open on the right to have conversations you can hear and pool tables on the right. It now has a jukebox (it's what I still call it) and no longer a stage. You can tell that business is not as busy since the changes, hopefully it picks back up for whoever the brave bar owner is. The bar staff ,she was happy,honest and just plain people's, with drinks with perfect mixtures, that make you feel relaxed and at home.“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! It appears they have their do no recommend set so that your post cannot publish. Called this morning to let the staff know we were going with a group of 12 and they said that would not be a problem. In an hour our group received water and a drink order placed but never got it. The same server continued to wait on other tables, make drinks for other tables and made no effort or hurry to make ours or come back to take our order. In addition, the bartender continued to walk around and socialize rather than makes drinks. We even wrote down our whole order and patiently waited for her to come back to make it easy for her. This is the second that we have attempted to come to your establishment with the same results.“

“My husband and I stopped by when we heard live music and we had such a fun time! It was pretty quiet for a Friday night (we also left before 9 pm), but we loved the intimate atmosphere and being able to interact with the band, who were very talented and friendly. Our bartender was warm and attentive and ensured we were taken care of. Their sangria mocktail was SUPER yummy and I was impressed at their mocktail selection. Excited to come back some time and try their food- the chicken strips look phenomenal!“

“I'm biased about Highland Park Lutheran Church. Basically, my mother is the pastor of the church. Though I will say is you're looking for a welcoming place to find God, then you definitely will. Also, the congregation is very welcoming as well. DO COME AND SEE WHAT A GREAT PLACE OF WORSHIP THAT YOU'LL FIND WITH Highland Park.“

“The best food I have had at any Dave and Buster’s hands down! Really was impressed! My husband really liked the spicy smash burger! All the staff we dealt with were very nice. My only complaint is when my husband made the table reservation, we put for special occasion- birthday. And there wasn’t anything for that. Our child still had a great time but it would have been nice if the table had some decorations or a balloon or even if he got a little dessert. And on that day there was an event so parking was a problem even though there is plenty of space for just Dave and Busters. But other than that we had a pleasant experience.“

“The family stopped for lunch because they have jambalaya in the name on some of their locations and my wife is a huge gumbo fan. The food was very good. I like the jalapeno creamed corn. My wife enjoyed the gumbo. The corn muffins were very sweet and we both wished it'd been a corn bread, instead of muffin. The pulled pork was very good but they have Alabama white sauce so of course it's going to be good with that. The staff was nice. There is a tiny free lot behind the building that may fill up quickly, depending on the day's events.“
