This is definitely the type of place your dad or grandpa would like. Bascially an old school bar with solid old tymer bar food. The burgers are pretty decent - certainly not the best ever however - but do the trick you're jonesing for one.
Academy has a really great lit patio with a nice waterfall installation. At times live music is played - at a reasonable volume so you can still enjoy your food and conversation AND the music.
I must warn you however... the waitresses come to the tables quick and they expect that you will be ready to supply them with a drink selection. There really is no beer list so you really need to be on your toes. It might be a good idea to decide your beverage of choice while your driving there. Cause once you sit down the pressure is on. And heaven forbid you order something you didnt really want.
