Came in on a Saturday afternoon to grab lunch with the kids. You have a choice of ordering at the counter or sitting at a table and getting served. Since the bartender greeted us as we walked in (nice how they put the bar right there) and it had been a long morning on the football practice field...we opted to sit at the high top table in the bar area and be served. Chad the bartender/waiter was very helpful and attentive. The son was excited because he was able to sit at watch the Xgames that were on the TVs. We ordered The Joilte Jake (Chicago style) and the Sonoran (Southwestern Style). Son ordered kids chicken fingers and daughter ordered Puppy Dogs (think mini battered and fried dogs). We also had a coupon for Chili Cheese Chips. All was really good! Hot dogs were cooked just right and the topping were fresh and very good. Bun was not soggy - that happens when you have too much "wetness" on top. Chili Cheese Chips were really good and probably crispier than if we had ordered the Chili Cheese Fries. Kids both liked their meals, though the kids chicken tenders only had 2 tenders and that wasn't enough for the 10 year old who had 2 hour football practice. My son asked the owner, John, if it was supposed to be 3 tenders and he said no, just two, but said he would hook him up and he did! 2 more tenders..very nice. We spoke to John and very nice guy, used to write food reviews for the Charlotte Observer (likes the Yelp community!!) The price was good and we had a look at their salads as they went cruising by and they are very large. We will definitely be coming back!! They have a full bar and TVs inside...There is also outdoor patio season and they are going to do some special things for football season..nice spot in Ballantyne East shopping center...on the back side (not facing Harris Teeter), next to McAlisters. Patio has a view of the fountain.
