| - We were so excited to see this place open. We are really close and thought that we would have somewhere to eat and catch a brew without entering the traffic jam at Concord Mills.
The food here is hit or miss depending on what you order. The items I have tried so far; BBQ pork ribs (tender and meaty, but the dry rub made them taste burnt, the sauce was good), Baked beans (dried out and cold), and the Salmon (delicious), the Ruben (thought it was good not great), fish and chips (don't order this unless you like more breading than fish, I pulled my breading off), the Tilapia special (honestly I wouldn't have served it, about the size of an iPhone), the wings are terrible too, deep fried with lots of breading, but the sauce was pretty good.
When I first visited the server was attentive and constantly checked on us to make sure things went well. The last two times (dinner)... took an extremely long time to great us. The food service was horrible, it took over 30 minutes to get anything to eat and our drinks were not refilled or even checked on, even the beer. The salads came with the meal, the balsamic dressing was the consistency of pudding. The food was cold but after the long wait we just ate it. The server never returned to ask if everything was alright and the manager spent the whole time talking with friends at a table right beside us. We noticed a lot fewer cars in the parking lot than usual and it was within 45 minutes of a football game on Sunday evening, curious. We both commented on it and said what a shame if they go out of business.
I agree with the other comments about the loud music playing over the speakers throughout the restaurant. We could not hear any of the football games or baseball playoffs. This is a sports bar right??? They need to change that ASAP! Temperature was "north pole" cold and it was a nice 75 outside.
What's good about this place, and why do we keep going back? First, it's close to us and there are TV's EVERYWHERE in the restaurant, so no matter what angle you are sitting at, a TV will be in your line of sight. All sporting events were playing the night we went and we loved it! This is a great place to come to watch any game you want and to have drinks. There is a huge selection of beer and it is cold and the mixed drinks are great too. I am a beer drinker, and this is just what we needed near Concord Mills. Two points for TV and beer.
