Tried it again after a couple of years and its still pretty terrible. The atmosphere the nice remodel created is great-my only reason for the 2 stars. Parking area still stinks.
The food is "as good as the chef can do"! The menu says they have award winning wings- ok sure whatever you say. Was there anyone else competing against you? I guarantee zipps or hazelwoods or anywhere with a fryer wasn't involved on this hokie competition. They were worse than pizza huts wings or the ones you buy frozen at costco and bake yourself. I had the spicy bone in. I ordered the full pound and the visual of the tiny skimpy wings in the basket made me wonder the whole time if I was mistakenly given the half pound order.
In summary- great bar to watch Chicago sports but eat before or after elsewhere. This experience made me realize that continuing to always look for a better neighborhood sports bar than zipps is a waste of time.
This bar should be embarrassed by the food. Our group felt the chi fries, pretzel dip app, Italian sandwich and buffalo chicken dip were all marginal and forgettable. The personal pizza was a piece of cardboard with sauce and cheese. No one felt ordering something we had was worth trying again at anytime in the future.
I will give them a tiny bit of mercy as this was a HUGE game and the place was full but the FOOD was not memorable in any way.
