“Great service the moment we stepped in.They were so kind and welcoming.The brisket was so tender and juicy. The sauce i used ( they have 5-6 house made sauces) the sweet and spicy sauce, which paired perfectly. Tiny tiny kick with the nice tangy sweetness.I also tried their ribs, which were just melting in the mouth.“
“Not sure why they are only a 2.5 rating but this place is great!! We had the boneless wings and chopped salad. Both were delicious. The bar was pretty crowded for lunch time. Our bartender was super attentive and kind. Love the atmosphere. Will be back!“
“Spicy Wings!!! Great place to entertain family and friend!!!! . If you want spicy wings with meat on them (not Bdubs) this is the place. Ordered the wings as spicy you can make them and my lips are still tingline if you know what I mean. Just asked Jake and they are called suicide jalapeño. Awesome atmosphere will definitely come here again for another sporting event!“
“Dear Jimmy D's, We cheated on you today to go try the bird's nest for lunch. I'm eating the buffalo wrap right now & it pales in comparison to yours. Whoever reads this, don't go to Bird's nest to "see if it's good." Instead, just keep going to Jimmy D's, where the service is great & the food is always delicious. Again, we're sorry we cheated on you to try Bird's Nest. We love you Jimmy D's. Sincerely, The people with the small children & the grandparents that come in all the time.“
“This bar has the look of a no frills sports bar but the food is definitely top notch. Everyone in my party had really good food but the best thing we had was the Chicken Skewers. I normally would have taken a pic of the food but when it came out, I honestly wasn't thrilled because it looked like they were going for a deconstructed look and it wasn't what I was expecting. The saving grace was that it was large portions for an appetizer. BUT.... The food was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I normally do not eat chicken breast but what I was served was very juicy and flavorful. I was half way through my plate when I realized I should have taken a pic. Everything else I had was good but those skewers is what will bring me back for sure. I'll add photos next time!“
“Throw away your low expectations of "Bar Food" because this place has the BEST Food! Creative ideas that really pay off. Add in the fun bar activities like Karaoke and of course bowling and you have a great evening out. Bar Down and Popular Creek Bowl provides an exceptional and memorable night out. It's a place where you can enjoy top-notch bowling, belt out your favorite tunes during karaoke, and indulge in gourmet-quality food and drinks. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I'll definitely be returning for another night of fun at this amazing establishment.“

“Honestly was a little nervous when I saw how little people there was and how extensive their menu was. We only got the golden shrimp (appetizer) and sushi items. So nothing from the grill side. But everything we got tasted really really good. Would like to go back when the terrace is open because I feel like the ambiance would be a little better out there“
“We came today, and had Patti G was our main server. ( She had a lady being trained with her who was are main server after introduction) They both were so welcoming, and attentive. The service was impeccable!! It was a less than nice day, and they made the day with being out in the cold worthwhile.“
“It's easy to drive past this place. I wouldn't pass it up, though. Good deals every day of the week allow for great meals. For not so much money. Save your money for your drinks and cheers to the good service. Felt welcomed and well taken care of.“
“First time here. Not much to look at on the outside, but nice casual atmosphere and good food inside, plus a great view of the lake.Shared corned beef egg rolls and pretzel bites. Our main courses were blt wrap, Reuben, and cheeseburger. All really good. See pictures. Finally, servers were very friendly. Will go back again.“
“I'm definitely a fan of this place. There's cornhole (or as I like to call it), plenty of pool tables, and delicious food! The only downside is that you have to be 21 to enter. However, the music here really sets the mood. Renting a table and pool for 2 hours cost us around $30, but it's still worth it for a fun time with friends or for a date.“
“Food was good, got the peanut butter burger and had good flavor. Next time i'll be adding onions and pickles on it as I got it the way it came. The pretzel bites were absolutely delicious. If you're a pretzel lover then you have to try these. I got honey mustard on the side as an option instead of the beer cheese. The service was good, but I would've liked to have been told that getting sweet potato fries instead of regular fries was an extra charge. When the options were listed it sounded like it was all an even substitute. The atmosphere was exactly what you would expect, looks like a pub with televisions everywhere and nice folks around.“
“Austin’s blew me away. An amazing jumbo shrimp cheesy pasta dish. I opted for the added protein (shrimp); yes!!! Austin’s is ‘famous’ for their steaks. Well, everything is great! And the shows, well, they’re so much fun too ?Five stars no doubt ? ? ? ? ?“

“Great place to go have a drink and grab food! Literally and an option for everyone when it comes to beer, liquor, wine, and food. If your a blue cheese fan, don't even get me started! The blue cheese is made in house and can't be beat! Smooth and chunky ???. It's pretty chill until around midnight and the pops off. So you can have a chill time or a club vibe depending on when you go. Plenty of games to play and plenty of slots to play as well.“
“I mean I know I review 5 stars almost every time, but that’s because I give props where props are due. I had the double smash burger and it was Aaaaaaamazing! Cooked to perfection. Thank you for being our hidden gem. Every time we choose the Side Lot… we go home happy.“
“This place has never missed the mark with service in my experience, and I frequent at least once a month. The drinks are always cold, fresh, and reasonablypriced. The food is delicious and fresh as well... my favorites are the smoked wings, cheese curds, beer nuggets, and chicken pesto sandwich. The staff is uber friendly and it felt great seeing many of them take the time to greet me (while I was on crutches) after a couple months hiatus (since I was injured). The Live Entertainment on weekends is always a huge plus as well! SIX SPEED TRANNY rocked the house yesterday“
“Finally a local pizza joint that gives you that pizza smell and old chicago hospitality. The pizza crust was crisp and ingredients were fresh. Just about every staff member touched our table in some way. You can tell they truly enjoy working there and work as a team. Will be back for sure.“
“Always friendly staff and patrons. Great place to rest a while. By ? ?♂️ or ? or ?. My go to place while out fishing with the grandkids too. It's the only place they want to go for lunch and to fish the channels getting there. ?“

“We went on St. Patrick's Day for Corned Beef and Cabbage. We arrived before 5:00 pm and to our dismay they were already sold out of it. In my opinion if they are going to advertise that they are serving a certain dish they should make sure they have enough. It wasn't even busy and they still didn't have enough. So hopefully next year they will make sure they have enough for everyone that wants it. I have eaten there many times in the past and the food is outstanding“

“Had dinner with one of my former bosses and his wife. Been here with them before; they are regulars. Food was good - I had the taco salad which was huge, boss had chicken tenders, his wife had the jumbo shrimp platter. Food and drink prices are reasonable. Atmosphere is comfortable; parking is adequate. Service wasn't stellar, but it was acceptable. Biggest issue I had, since I picked up the tab, is that they charge a 3.5% "processing fee" if you don't use cash. In a world where we are being forced to used cards every day, since so many places are going cashless, I think this fee is out of line. Yes, it was only a few bucks, but it make me think twice before I frequent this restaurant again since I rarely carry cash.“
“Great place. Bartender made us really good food even after the kitchen had been closed. He went the extra mile and turned everything back on just for us. Food was excellent as was the service. We WILL be back for more. Thanks for Making our night!“
“Well, this place wasn't around in my younger years pulling up by boat...and mooring the boat to the Turnkey Motor boat pier docks to swoop up Chuck (RIP) and Frank. However, remembering it being only a parking lot. It's a great addition to the Reef across the street. It's a nifty little bar just to the south of Burtons bridge. Not sure, if you can pull up by boat and dock (might want to consult with Turnkey Motors first) before doing so. I can honestly say...I like it's location. To bad this wasn't established sooner back in the day. They have a taco Tuesday special for a $1.00. Surprisingly, the menu is quite elaborate. They have eggs Benedict - that I'm definitely coming back to try. Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked awesome and tasty. Very nice place and atmosphere. They have an outside river bar beer garden, live band entertainment, horseshoe pits, volleyball. Even met some nice bikers from Rebel Cause - in which I knew nothing about them until that day (Highly Support & Respect) them and their cause. It was a great time, I enjoyed hanging out there. It brought back some good memories. Definitely worth while stopping in, even more so if your an old gearhead from back in the day. Great job! Look forward to coming back again soon. ??? A+!!!“

“Sideouts is an awesome place to eat, drink, bowl or watch live music! Huge outdoor patio with tvs, music, baggo, violleyball and so much more. The food is excellent, the pizza is some of the best around! Summertime they have car shows, bands in the sand concerts, and many other events. You gotta check this place out!“
“Excellent food and drink at astonishing prices. Great, upbeat service. Michael, behind the bar, was awesome. Can't believe they turned the old Dunton House into a slick sports bar, but kudos to them. Highly recommend, and we will be back!“
“It's a sports bar with good and we are not into bars or sports...so the atmosphere isn't our preferred space- but the food (especially chicken limone) is fantastic.We prefer the onion rings over the toasted ravioli. Not because the latter is bad, we just prefer the rings. Since we're not bar folks and don't drink alcohol, sometimes it feels like service pays too little attention, but not always. That depends on the night and the server's.“
