We met some friends for a get together and decided to meet at Froggie’s for the atmosphere of live music. Ordered some appetizers, frog legs, catfish bites, and lumpia. The appetizers were really good. Ordered some drinks and then some food. Our waitress was less than stellar. Two of the meals we ordered were platters and when we asked for a side that was not fries she said they were $5 more. So that would be $23 for the platter and $5 more for green beans. We told Kaylie, our waitress, to please go check because that doesn’t make sense because the platter didn’t state brisket and fries. After she argued and told us she knew she was right she went to ask when I insisted. Of course I was correct. Makes you wonder how many people she charge $5 more for anything but fries. However, the entertainment was the BEST!! The live band was called Can you Dig It. I highly recommend following this band. Had the best time listening to them, they really get the crowd going.My brisket was good, green beans were dry and uneventful like my cornbread.

$8/ tap beers are a little steep for me. They have great live music just always a little loud for me and hard to have a conversation without yelling, but good if you're there to dance a little bit. Fish and chips are great and my go to meal. I'll come here to eat, not to drink with the beer prices. It's a good crowd of mostly 40 plus patrons.

What a dump horrible service some very nasty people in there. Ordered sandwiche got briscut, sent it packing, walked out, wasn't busy bunch of local 40-60 year old power drinker's. Walking back to my truck The odor coming from the dumpster just as expected The interior match the exterior.

My previous review from years ago has consistently been negated but worst and worse food, especially carry-out, while prices increase for less. Last baked beans we got were nothing but straight out of the can. Beyond disappointing three times in a row with dining in and take-out. We won’t be back.

I went there last night with an old friend and ordered a 1 pound pastrami sandwich. When they brought it, it looked a little small and actually my friends sandwich that he paid quite a bit less for, looked larger. When I questioned it, the manager came out quickly admitted the kitchens mistake and promptly fixed me another one. As a former general manager, for many decades, I understand problems can arise, and it’s not so much the problem, but it’s the way it was handled, and it was handled very professionally and with courtesy.Great local place with the wonderful atmosphere and military owned. Our waitress Olivia was a joy! Thank you Olivia for making our night

We were there last night for dinner. Our first visit. We have heard mixed reviews and decided to try it for ourselves. Bartenders were friendly. We ordered a variety of foods. We enjoyed our meal but was disappointing that our meat sample tray was ALL cold. Would have been much better if it was warmer.
Stingy with portions & drink sizes, inflexible, & terrible service both times I went. They're super chintzy with some of the food & drink portions - can you be any more cheap with your customers?Also, for the female waitresses/servers who aren't as nice to women as they are to men - just an FYI that me & my female friends leave 20/30/40+ percent tips sometimes when people are amazing, kind, friendly, & have fun with us. Be smart - money is money & it doesn't cost you anything to go out of your way. Do better.I've been here 2x:- Once for takeout---SMALL fries portion: It was super slow in there, and no matter how kind I was, the older bartender/lady with long brown hair who took my order was incredibly short with me. Why? The wings & fries were good, but the fries I got were the smallest portion I think I've ever seen from any restaurant in my life. I think I got maybe 10 fries...lol. What do fries cost, a few cents? Get with it.- Once for dinner & music:*** It wasn't that busy yet & we sat down & no one came up to us for ~10 mins. One waitress with curly hair walked by us & we politely said "excuse me" to get some menus---she def heard us---but chose to just completely ignore us...rude. I guess it wasn't her table, so no way was she going to even go out of her way to stop & say she'd get someone... Great 'tude. See how this works in the world for you anywhere else.*** Ordered a simple drink that every bar has & the waitress was completely perplexed, so made it as easy as I could (literally booze & juice) - it came back in the SMALLEST glass I think I have ever seen in my life...lol. We could barely stifle our giggles looking at it - I think it was a tiny juice glass? Nothing like paying good money for a few sips. Sorry, but that is cheap with a cap "C."*** Ordered a 2nd drink in a taller glass & she made it so incredibly difficult, but I guess it was considered a large or double or something? I usually never get a 2nd drink, but wanted something to have to listen to the band as we'd be there a while - I don't think there was any alcohol in it at all. I'm a total light-weight, and a "double" would normally have affected me SOME. Nope, nada. Nothing like spending my hard-earned (and I DO MEAN hard-earned) money on some juice. I felt jipped :(.*** We asked for jalapenos on our side dish. The waitress was shocked & had never heard of this in her life I guess, & it made us feel bad & uncomfortable again. It was strictly explained to us that we'd have to pay for anything else we added to our meal, which we were happy to do, but seriously? Y'all charging us for 1 stupid sliced-up pepper that cost you a few cents? K...go for it.*** The food is pretty good, & we liked it.*** The band was good.There are way more other places in the area for us to get food, so unless desperate, not bothering this place again unless going to see a band - don't like putting folks out and all. Do better, be NICE to both men & women customers, and beef UP the portions. Sorry, but this was ridic.

One wheelchair entrance to a section with all pub tables. We asked about why that was. They responded it was an old building. That doesn't explain the placement of the tables. We did ask. No attempt was made to move a standard height table to the wheelchair accessible area.
