The menu is a good southern cooking-type menu with a lot of options for burgers as well. My wife and I both had burgers and although mine was definitely overcooked the flavor was great. I also went on a busy Friday night so I understand imperfections and definitely plan to return.

Great spot to take your dog and enjoy a great meal. The outdoor is area is nice and they even bring a water bowl for your dog. Food was tasty and prices were fair.

If I lived in Orlando I’d 100% frequent this place. It’s a decently priced sports bar with a few unique dishes, tons of seating, TVs and fun games. The drink specials were fun and the food was delicious, both priced decently. We arrived a little bit later on a Thursday when they were close to closing the kitchen and the staff was very nice and accommodating. We ordered as fast as we could and our food came out pretty quickly. The burger wasn’t exceptional but it was simple and delicious. The fries were odd; kind of like a chip but the same consistency as a French fry. They were slightly crispy. We also got these loaded tater tots that were AMAZING. The wings were also very delicious. The shots we got were pretty good, definitely on the sweeter side and not all that strong.

Overall very good experience and we all want to go back again. The place is what you would expect from a good sports bar with local flare. There was 3 of us. We split the tots appetizer (the toppings and flavor were god but I think there were only 10 tots and they were in a small bowl which made them hard to eat; highly recommend more tots and on a flatter dish.) I had the poppers which were really good hand made cooked perfect (I requested ranch & it was a good ranch), my friend got the smash burger (he loved it and I tried it and I would get this again soft bun and super juicy & flavorful), my other friend got the Cuban it was good too. The fries were unique and tasty they were almost like a potato chip cut but thick and soft (liked them!) our server was super friendly. I just moved to the area from south Florida but we hope to check it out again! Oh and prices were super fair was kind of shocked with how expensive everything has gotten so kudos

Wowser this place is a hidden gem. We've been to a couple of restaurants International Drive they are a rip off compared to this place. We had boneless wings bbq and Garlic Shaboom (my favourite of the two). The wings were fresh the meat was melt in the mouth the sauces were absolutely spot on. We also had Fire Bites bacon wrapping three cheese jalapeno bites, I've never had anything like them absolutely nommie! Melina our server was friendly and on point. Thank you all the best meal we've had since we started out tour in America we will be back Wednesday night for Dirty Bingo!

A great spot to bring your dog. There is an outside covered patio, with ceiling fans to keep the area “less hot”. Service was great and the food was delicious. The music outside is loud and great. If you love 80s music. And I do.

I had a great time here! The service was nice, quick , and the atmosphere was very cool, open and fun! I enjoyed my burger as well - I got a "make you're own" burger and it was pretty good! Nothing to write home about, but also nothing to complain about. It was like 12.00 with all the standard toppings and i swapped a lettuce bun for the regular bun.. it also came with fries (now THOSE were amazing and unique.. id come back for those alone). Good place to watch games, sports, play-offs.. its also very well taken care of. I loved the plants and the entry way. Id stop in again. If you're looking for good vibes, decent food, and a nice place to watch sports - this is it! Parking lot was huge (its behind the building, remember that when you punch in the GPS) but surprisingly there was no parking available. It was also an event night so, take it with a grain of salt.

Great spot to gather, drink, and eat. Wait was not long, and it was Mother's Day, so that says a lot. Very friendly and open atmosphere. Food and drinks were very good. Tator tots were great!!
