| - We came in here around 8:45 PM on a Wednesday night because we were in the area and starving! All that we were looking for was food, but to our surprise, Handlebar-J was hopping! Apparently they had a live band, hence the $5 cover per person {I have not paid a cover charge in YEARS!!!}. We were are little taken back by the cover charge because we were literally there to eat dinner, not two-step the night away to the live band. But, we were starving and didn't want fast food, so we paid it.
When we arrived, we told them that two of us were eating dinner and the other two were just going to have drinks. They almost didn't even seat us in the {pretty empty} dining room because all four of us weren't eating? Huh? It was so odd! They did end up seating us there and we ordered right away.
My review would probably be two stars because of the hassle at the beginning but our server was very attentive and didn't miss a beat! We ordered a cheese crisp to split and I ordered a caesar salad with chicken for my entree. The cheese crisp had a little too much cheese on it {if that is possible} but it was decent. The salad was good, but not worth $10.50 {more than my friend's sliders and fries!!!}. I found it interesting that their salads were more expensive than much heartier dishes on their menu. Oh well! All in all, the food was just ok. For 4 beers, 2 entrees, and 2 appetizers, we spent a total of $92 including tip and cover charge. Yikes!
All in all, I probably won't come back BUT if you are into country music and dancing, this would 100% be your place. Everyone on the dance floor looked like they were having a blast.
P.S. I didn't post pics because it was super dark inside which equals bad foodie photos. {I'm a perfectionist!}
