Food was very sub par and over priced. Two pulled pork sandwiches one turkey wrap and some chicken strips that were tiny . Fries are not great all for 80 plus dollars? I know we had two sodas and two adult beverages but for 60 bucks I could have been at the China buffet!

01/24 Update.Heard their ad for Pizza/Wing Special.Did not disappoint!Pizza was cooked perfectly, with a fair amount of toppings.Sauce is a sweet pizza sauce, but not too sweet.Wings were good; juicy and not overcooked. I like my wings plain so they have to be good, no sauce to hide behind.Staff was Super Friendly!! From taking my order on the phone to picking it up inside the bar.Time to add them back to our dining out choices!_____________________________________6yrs ago... Ate here regularly sometimes twice a week... until recently.Ordered a Pork T, which is supposed to be a sandwich, right?! Got back to work and NO Top Bun!So, I call there, she says she can't believe that happened?!?Tells me I can come back to get one?!Shredded their menu at home and work! Freeport has Many other Great Restaurants to choose from!!

They did a nice job handling our large group, but I was a bit disappointed that much of the items I saw on the online menu were gone. The selection is pretty sparse.Kid-friendliness: Lots of games available.

Worst food we ever had ordered a pizza and it had soggy crust and not done. The chicken rubbery and tasteless never go there again.

Small busy food was undercooked. Really small for midget wrestling. Exposed wires in men's bathroom. Owner locked the doors with the patrons in the bar. Not cool won't go back

Drinks were ridiculously over-priced. Ordered a double tito's and my friend got a Miller light. Total was $16. It's a dive bar and that's fine but they're not charging dive bar prices. Our bartender was also less than delightful ?

Time to catch up! Moved back to Freeport end of October 2020 aftet a 43 year dissapearing act and had yet to make a pit stop here. Finally did on Sunday. The bartender had dual roles: 1) Bartending 2) Waitress. Talk about being on the ball! She noticed us as we arrived, invites to clear a table right away, came out from behind the bar, took our drink order, gave us a menu, gave a rundown on the days special then within 60 seconds delivered our drinks. All with a full bar! Good times, great people-friendly environment. Three pool tables for the lucky shot, three big screen TV's to watch your favorite teams. Would I go back? Yes. In a heart beat.

Portions were small. Chicken fingers were actual cuts of chicken but I got two small pieces. “World famous” cheese curds were basic cheese curds. Shots were served in these tiny tablespoon sized cups. Bartender was pleasant but appeared over worked.

Hardly anyone for lunch a few people. The food was okay, probably because they are understaffed like other places. Sorry no pictures.
