| - Not my top choice in sports bars, but when you're stranding in Mentor and there's a Browns game on, this place doesn't suck. Here's my take on the bar area, only:
First, TVs are everywhere. I'm surprised they're not on the bar. So, no matter where you sit or how packed it is, you'll be able to see the game. Service? Well, it's pretty good to be honest. On Sundays there's almost always the same people working in the bar, so they know how often to check back for beer refills, etc. The prices are also not too bad, especially if you order the specials.
Food, well, I don't stray far from the wings. I prefer the spicy garlic and hot BBQ flavors and they do them just the way I like 'em. Extra crispy underneath a very saucy exterior--a hard balance to achieve, but somehow they've figured it out. This past visit I also tried the soft pretzels, which seemed better than your average frozen pretzel just warmed up in the oven. They also came with nacho cheese, but not the stuff that comes out of the squeeze container all neon orange. This was actually pretty decent with flecks of tomato and peppers you could see and taste. I was impressed with what I got compared to what I was expecting.
Overall, it's a chain, but the wings are actually pretty good and so is the bar area service. Just do yourself a favor and don't stray from the bar.
