My husband was happy with all of the tv's tuned to sports, and I enjoyed a quick, inexpensive game of Keno. Prices were reasonable. Our waitress was Lindsey. She always had a smile and answered all of my questions kindly. (She even went to make sure the lemon-berry cake was moist before I ordered it) that's above and beyond on my book. My cash tip reflected that. She anticipated our needs and didn't bother us unless she thought we needed something (refill, check, and make sure our food was good). She really should be recognized for this. It is so hard to find employees like this, and I happened to find 2 during this overnight visit in Lincoln, NE. My club sandwich was fine but my sweet potato tots were delicious. Cooked just right. First time I have had them. My husband had roast beef dinner, which was very good. Veggies cooked just right. Portions were plentiful, and taste was great. I do recommend the lemon berry cake. Very moist, great flavor, and not super sweet. If I had to pick a negative it would be the carpet floors. And that's really looking for sonething. I would definitely return.
Came here on Monday morning and the prime rib melt they had a special was AMAZING. Phil was our server and was so attentive with our refills! We also ordered the ribeye (steak of the month) and was seasoned so well!
Amazing service super Good food and overall 100% clean and family friendly environment. Everything was GREAT . But don't get the tater tots there not good at all and could use a little attention to sauce for such a big burger and such a small of the ' special sauce' was a drop but over all good times
Service is friendly and quick. The atmosphere is calm. It is a little loud but it's a sports bar so that is to be expected. I could have a conversation with my guests without the volume being an issue at all so it was fine. The food is delicious. We had the Big Red Challenge (he lost), the Bacon Me Crazy, pickle Fries and Boneless Wings with some sliced avocado on the side. The food came quickly. The Bacon Me Crazy tasted like it was cooked over a firepit. It had the most flavor I have experienced in a sandwich at a restaurant. The Big Red Challenge was almost larger in depth (at 1.5 lbs of burger) than my guests' hand span.
Big Red was our first outing with a baby! The host was on top of it getting us a table with a car seat in mind & immediately provided a car seat holder (didn’t even know they made them.) Our waitress, Courtney was great! She was busy but you wouldn’t have even known with how attentive she was. Our food was fantastic and HOT! I think they made life long customers out of us.
Everytime we come here we have excellent service & good food. All the waitresses are very friendly & make us feel at home. Josh always stops by our table to say hello & make sure everything is okay. We really enjoy coming here.
We had my husband's retirement party here! It's great food, generous portions, lots of room, nice atmosphere, they let me come in early to decorate, waitress Lindsey was on top of it and we had 9 people, medium prices but everything's gone up. So to be expected. We had a terrific time. It was our first time eating there it won't be our last!
Typical sports bar with an inviting atmosphere. The food was great! Rachel my server was on top of it! I enjoy taking myself out and this was one of my favorites. I had their Sunday special. Brisket sandwich with fries and of course coleslaw with a draft blue moon. The have a pretty good draft menu. They have all the games on. A sports bar with a family friendly menu. Did I say the brisket was great?
