Kevin DudleyAugust 26, 2014On, on, U of K! Brilliant idea to use waffle fries as nachos. The pork belly tacos are so good!Upvoted Sep 1- Emily JurlinaAugust 13, 2014The 16 inch grilled cheese is an awesome value! Small menu but it's all really good.
Tamika RilesSeptember 1, 2013Ask for pony punch. Long island, blue powerade or hurricane. Its seasonal!
Joseph B.January 23, 2015I like the table setup and service. Fighting for a space at the bar to order drinks is so old fashioned.
Jacob KochisJanuary 27, 2013They blast the Hawks game and play music during the breaks Just be prepared to not hold a conversation over the table if the hawks are on
Stacy Lynn WMarch 27, 2011Great place to watch my husband's alum UK play some basketball. Clydesdale Grilled Cheese was tasty and huge.- Gretchen YlerNovember 19, 2009The music is sweet, the food even better (thanks to Curtis McGhee)and you can find an occassional local celeb sitting next to ya at the bar (besides me of course)
MattNovember 6, 2010Try and spot the non frat/sorority kids and win a free drink (free drink is a chic cocktail, of course).
Good for drinks. Stay away from the buffalo chicken breast because it's neither breast nor all white meat for that matter. Calamari is always overly fried and burned. Wings are always super salty.
- MattNovember 6, 2010Ask for Smooki. This place is where Jersey Shore kids would go if they were from the Midwest. Disagree? Look around.
- Come here to watch the Hawks games and if you're hungry, try the monster grilled cheese. It's 14 inches long...
- Get the sliders... Soo to come. The Kentucky Hot brown
the wait staff was attentive and really friendly when I was here
Ask for Lauren, Luna, or Tiffany and tell them Evan sent you.
Daniel KnaufJanuary 8, 2011don't come here if you're a dude. bartenders only serve girls. I expect that for a while but this place is rediciulous. aweful.
Wendy JohnsonDecember 23, 2015They charged my husband for 4 Cokes. I'm sorry that my husband doesn't drink. I had three beers, and we ordered pizza (gross...way too salty. Worst in the city) and dessert. We will not be back.
