The general experience is simply "ok" - the wings are fine but nothing too amazing, the beer comes in plastic cups, it seems to want to be a dive bar without actually being a dive bar?Like I said, it was ok - but not totally my speed so not sure I'll be back again. ?‍♀️

The grilled wings are great and they are a good size! I'm also a big fan of the fried cauliflower and mushrooms. Good service, good food, and Busch Light tall boys for $3. ?

Disappointed. We ordered the nachos and it came out quickly, about 5 minutes. The cheese sauce was cold. Not like it cooled down too room temp but well below room temp cold. Informed the apologetic server. We also ordered the pretzels with cheese sauce. It came out cold.... After complaining that the nachos cheese was cold! We ate half a pretzel with cold cheese sauce before the server came back. We asked for warm cheese sauce and the kitchen microwave the same container of cheese and gave it back to us. What a disappointment!

Don't go to have a few drinks. My experience is that they will try to rush you out the door. Every drink comes with an, "are you ready for your check?" Quite frustrating.

It didn't suck. Waitress acted as it she cared less we were there but was ok. 1 of the 3 piece fish & chip basket was burnt. It's wasn't anything great but wasn't bad either.

Pre covid I went to the downtown location frequently as it was close to work. Food and service were great. I was excited when they opened the "East" location a few years ago. It was very similar to the downtown location. Even during Covid, they did great! However the last few times I've been to the East location have been terrible. Probably 3 times over the last 6 months. The nachos were a soggy mess of wadded up chips. The kids meal grilled cheese was 2 pieces of toast that they put cheese on. When we let the waitress know, she had it remade. Yet again, The cheese didn't melt and the bread was burnt on the INSIDE and out. I got the grilled wings the next time and they were soooo burnt. Now, get that grilling gives some char but all the wings were completely black. I should mention the service was not great either. Have to ask for plates for appetizers, ask for napkins (got none with the hot wings or nachos (separate visits) very limited beer options. 2 of the ones I chose from the chalkboard menu were out. Why not erase them then?! Then the check comes and I see they charge a credit card fee. Extra 3 bucks for nothing. I suggest avoiding this location, maybe the downtown one still cares.

Honestly, the Staff is what makes this place go, GRACE, ALEX, ANNA, KIMMY!! Frankie the manager is a great leader from what I can tell. I’ve been managing for 3 years. The staff here care and anyone that disagrees probably doesn’t understand or is just a sad human being!

Best wings in Lincoln and service is exceptional. Love having the option of having my wings grilled. There's also a great selection of beer and liquor.
