    We came in with a very large group of 25 people and City Works accommodated us very well. Service was great, food was well presented and tasty. We will be back.

    I still love the taste of the food but have found more recently the serving sizes are getting smaller. The burger doesn't fit the bun, the fish taco could use more fish, the fries could be counted vs overflowing. Im afraid its the sign of the times,less for more. I continue to eat there regularly with the hopes things go back to the way they were.

    Our waiter was wonderful, very personable and attentive. The food was sub par. I understand it was Mother’s Day but the wait time for food was extremely slow. Would probably go back to watch a game at the bar.

    Food was good, but the changes ate little disappointing. The French fries now have no spicy seasoning great for those who cant tolerate it. My favorite, Cheddar Burger smaller and definitely not as delicious. The bacon onion relish a beloved condiment so different it was not eaten. Will I continue to try orher things and the Burger, YES. Im not giving up yet but per the wait staff, corporate has made changes the chef can't argue with. Hopefully they dont lose any loyal customers, so stand up for us!!

    Had a great server, Glen, and the food was not excellent but well above average, and fairly priced. The beer list is impressive, and cocktails are reasonable. It’s loud, but if a bustling sports bar is your jam, it’s a good choice.
