    Service very slow, all meat (burgers and chicken) were dry and over cooked and lacked flavor. Lettuce fresh but other toppings looked a few days old.

    Overall it was a good experience. The food was awesome. Tasted fantastic and cooked perfect. The service was at best OK. Started off great, then we had to wait a substantial amount of time to get someone to come back out for refills. I’m guessing they were just having a bad day on the server side. Some of the food wasn’t correct for our order, no big deal with that, but deserves to be noted. I would recommend this place to anyone, prices are to be expected with anywhere else right now. Wings were HUGE, burgers were juicy and large. Kids meals were large as well. Very impressed with the amount of food in the kids meal. They had Wi-Fi which helps if you have young kids. Spicy Garlice sauce is one of the best I’ve ever had. You can’t beat a fresh diced garlic in spicy garlic sauce. One again, overall it was a good experience and I would recommend to anyone.

    It was Music Trivia night and that is a lot of fun. We ordered wings and pepper jack cheese balls as an appetizer. Wings are perfection! The traditional wings are not breaded. We got old bay seasoning dry rub. Yum! The cheese balls were so good. The atmosphere is always good. Our server was very attentive. We may make this a weekly tradition.

    St Paddy’s day and a birthday celebration. Waitress was very attentive even with a lot of people to take care of. Food was outstanding, probably the best Reuben I have ever had. The French fries are the best in town. Only suggestion would have been to be playing Irish music!

    First time out in months, chose IC because they usually have the best steaks locally. Husband and I met a friend and we were all looking forward to conversation over dinner. Once the music started conversation was impossible. Killed the celebratory mood. It was a good thing all of us had received vaccine. The restaurant has installed a little plexiglass between booths but I think it is wasted when people have to shout at each other to be heard. Left feeling we had most likely been exposed to all the other guests. The staff wears masks but they have to pull those down and yell across tables to be heard over din of music. They only had 2 of 3 steak cuts on menu available and this was day before St. Patrick's day. Seriously? Get a new supplier! Two of us had to settle for sirloin when we prefer NY strip. Based on previous exp @ IC, steaks were not up to what we expected either. Husband's med-rare ribeye was completely overcooked and my med-well sirloin varied from well on one end to barely med-rare on the other. Thickness was even so that was simply weird. My salad tasted like it was made purely from the outer leaves of a very old head of Romaine - tough and bitter. We did not send steaks back because honestly we just wanted to get out of there. Paid bill, tipped generously - but will not go back. Recommend you drive to Columbus if you want a decent steak without the sports bar hoopla.
