    Nice little hidden sports bar, really good food, burgers, sandwiches, salads, pasta, pizza... our server was great, and as a guy that worked a lot bartending and serving when I was younger, I could tell our server was new. But this was fine. He did a great job, and was up front about not knowing everything, perfectly owned it and still got answers for things we asked that he didn't know. He'll be really good in near future because he has a great attitude. Nice bar for watching sports with friends. They have a great menu and there's something for everybody. We'll be back soon!

    Kitchen closes at 11pm? That’s what we were told. We asked for a drink menu - the waitress told us we could look at her hand held device that she orders things on….. like what? We just opted for something simple since the lady couldn’t even tell you what they had which didn’t sound to be much anyways. The staff sits at the bar on their phones. The place looks rough, run down and the tables are loosing their finish so much so I almost got a splinter! We had our one drink and got out of there, we will not go back.

    My Friday tenderloin group visited this establishment with high hopes of a quality loin per the description and pricing evident on the menu. We were shaken to our cores when we were informed that there were only 2 tenderloins available for our 8 person group. We conferred many options including cutting the 2 tenderloins into 4 pieces and having slider versions or pivoting to a different eatery. We concluded that if we couldn't all have the loin to judge none of us would. The menu looked good and there were options that everyone could be happy with. Unfortunately when we received our meals they ranged from poor to mediocre. There didn't seem to be a lot of pride put into any of it. 2 of us ordered burgers medium and medium well and the condition of the patties made it seem like the cook had a vendetta against the cow and wanted even it's offspring to be well done. Props to the establishment for issuing a 30% "Fall discount" but unfortunately that merely changed this from one of the worst restaurant experiences to simply a bad one. Prayers this mainstay in Waukee can return to its apparent former glory.
