It is obvious they recook food. The "brisket" sliders were definitely NOT brisket. Tasted like dry beef chuck roast. Chicken wings were cooked in burnt sauce. Some wings were really dry and some not. Which again points out some were reheated. They had a cash discount on the receipt which they did not advertise. Couldn't even finish the food... Do not eat here.

Fried pickles and pretzels were on point. Loved the bacon cheese sliders and the chicken and waffles were crazy good too. Owner was on the floor taking care of everything. Best spot in ruston hands down.

The first time we went, the food was great. The atmosphere was good. The server was by herself which created extended wait times for service and food. The second time, only one server again. I've noticed that dogs are allowed in the establishment. I don't want to eat my food around a bunch of dogs. I would think that that is a health and safety issue. What about those allergic to pet dander? Especially when I don't know the grooming habits of the owners. Probably will not be going there again.

Closed. What's the point of a restaurant if you can't get lunch? ?

The food is always so good here! The fried pickles are crispy and come with a great sauce. The cocktails are "twisted" and yummy. Great salads, tacos, and burgers. Dessert! OMG the bread pudding bites!!

We arrived to celebrate a birthday. While they were fairly busy, our food arrived in spurts. I ordered a French Dip for $16 with a side of fries (the sandwich does not come with fries but you could order a side for $4). I also order a beverage (diet with a splash of lemonade). The rest of the guests received their meals first but the server either forgot the salad or it just didn't get done. So, one of our party had their salad after the main dinner. Another received a taco salad but it came with a different kind of meat other than the pulled port she ordered. My sandwich arrived but without the fries and several minutes after the rest of the party. My friend didn't receive her meal until we were more than halfway done eating. Since I was sharing my meal with my friend, we both ate our very small half of a French Dip...which was gone in a matter of minutes. Ten minutes later I was still waiting for my fries and she her side of potato chips, a refill on my beverage and my friend still waiting for her fondue platter. Certainly not the best showing for our first visit to this restaurant. Sadly, the server kept telling us they were backed up. Never, never tell your guests you are backed up. I'd rather have had our meal served all at one time so that we could enjoy it together than have it served in bits and pieces. For me, the sandwich was far overpriced for what you got...especially coming without fries. It didn't seem out of the norm and was a bit lacking in taste. Most disappointing. I'd be willing to try them again, but would hope to never have this same experience.Parking: They do validate for two hours of free parking.

Service was absolutely terrible. Server was very openly and loudly complaining to another staff member about how a table didn't tip her enough. The mediocre bar food wasn't worth being talked down to and eyes rolled at for asking for more time to look over the single iPad menu for the table. Definitely do not recommend.

Good food, chill atmosphere, lots of beers and spirits too. I went on a night they had live music but they also have so many other event nights!

I went here to listen to music and have a tasty bite to eat (so I thought) The food was bland, under seasoed and overcooked... The bartender was super attentive. However, they only had one waitress for the entire establishment. The barbecue sauce is extremely spicy, and the food is mediocre.

We were browsing Ruston way and we decided to try this place since we tried it in Florida. When we first walked in it's completely different than the one in Florida, that one is more fun, but I would say it's still pretty cute for drinks. The service was amazing, I wish I remembered her name. She was super sweet and fast. She was able to bond with all the customers and staffs. The best part that brighten my day is a dog was waiting for her and knowing she would feed him snacks! So definitely 5 stars for the service!! For the food-wise, it's okay. The fried pickled were pretty good but it didn't amaze us. I got the crack wrap, I would say it's not good. It's Mac and cheese and chicken with some buffalo sauce I think. After 3 bites I felt the taste is overwhelming and too much of the cheese taste (in an overpowering way), the tortillas wraps are very rough and Lowkey felt like cardboard. The fries and burger were okay nothing special to be honest. But they have a good happy hour with a good price. Other than that that's it.

Hidden gem! Food was delicious! We had brisket nachos and fried pickles! Literally to die for! I can't remember the last time I ate an entire nachos entree!!

Cool little dive bar, but it thinks it's fancier than that.

Relaxed spot, with tasty and innovative takes on American favorites. Loved the pork sliders. Offers trivia nights, live music. Nice spot to hang out, catch a game, and socialize. Friendly service.

Too expensive for what you actually get. Food is bland and forgetful. Service is super slow. Only good part of this restaurant is the proximity to the rest of Ruston Way shops etc.
