    Went during Sunday football. It's a limited menu and there's a $40 pp spend during Sunday games. The food and drinks were pretty good. Service was good but it was pretty empty to require a food/beverage minimum in my opinion.

    It was a great experience. Our server, Paul, was very pleasant and attentive. I like dark beer and he made an excellent recommendation. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the beer, but it has coffee notes and was delicious. We shared a generous charcuterie board. I had the brisket sandwich and my friends enjoyed the chicken wings. Everything was yummy.

    We were super excited about this place as we saw great stuff on Tik Tok & it was something different. Our server was awful. We asked for any domestic beers and what seltzers they had. For the domestic beers, Yohanna (our server) told us they didn’t have any because the trucks didn’t come due to the construction of the Formula 1 race. I pointed out all of the other guests having domestic beers & she said they must have brought them in with them. That the casino has different trucks that can get through. What?? We asked 3 different times what kind of seltzers they have & she told us she didn’t know & had to sneak behind the bar to find out b/c the bartenders didn’t like to tell her. When we left, I decided to go to the bar inside the restaurant (the same bar Yohanna was getting our drinks from) to see what they had. They served us two bud lights, two Mich Ultras & two tangerine white claws. Our assumption is the bill is higher when cocktails are ordered vs. beers & seltzers. Regardless, we won’t be back & beware to anyone that gets sat in Yohanna’s section. I’m not sure if I’m spelling her name correctly but she said to pronounce it like Mohanna w/a Y.

    The service was horrible!! By the waitress Cindy and the manager Quinn!! They sit us down give us the brunch menus then when we are ready to order they tell us the kitchen is no longer doing brunch! That was the beginning. We placed our drink orders and also ordered some appetizers at the same time. We received our drinks but no appetizers so we ordered our food as we were already waiting for some time. Then we get our food and still no appetizers brought to our table. We tell Cindy then a few minutes later they finally bring out the appetizers. We ordered the brisket burger but honestly it seems like it was pulled pork no brisket at all and it had no flavor it was just very plain. When we asked for the check we noticed we were being charged for 2 things we never ordered then the waitress took forever to come back to our table as the table next to us also talked to her about items on the check that they didn't order hmmmm a little suspicious they do that to 2 tables who knows how many tables this has happened to. We called over the manager Randy which was very nice and heard our concerns and was able to remove the extra items we were being charged. We noticed the mimosas we ordered were higher than their menu stated we told Cindy and she replied yeah it's extra since you ordered 2 flavors which she never told us upfront it was going to be additional charge. She then proceeded to get attitude and snatched the check out of my girlfriend's hands. We asked to speak to the manager and Quinn came over at first he was nice but once we expressed our concerns about Cindy's attitude he started catching attitude with me. I asked for him to write down the waitress name, the other managers name, and his name on our copy of the receipt. He refused and said with a smile I'm not going to write my name I asked why he simply smiled again and said because I'm not going to. He said sign the receipt and walked away without giving us a pen to sign! This is horrible horrible service!!

    Very disappointed as they removed several items off menu that were a staple as to why we go. The service was very good, however it appears as the kitchen wasn’t on par that night… was informed an item we ordered was going to take an extra 1/2 as the other items were being delivered and then the food that we got to replace it was subpar… and then our appetizer/salad was delivered after our entree… unsure if we will return…

    We made reservations for Emo Brunch, which was fun and a great theme. It took a really long time to get seated even though we had reservations, so I wish they had spread things out better because we were pretty hungry and it was a long wait. Then when we were eating and finishing up, our server was no where to be seen. I will say we really liked the menu theming and the food was delicious, so big points for that. The one other thing is I wish the DJ had a more diverse/in depth emo playlist, it was limited to a handful of artists, but that’s just me being picky. Overall I would recommend Emo Brunch.

    Went for Octoberfest and was not disappointed. The food and beer were great. The Band, pretzel eating contest and Stein holding contest only added to a fun evening. As an added plus we took home tee shirts and plastic beer steins. We love these event, just wish they would have more beer pairing dinners like in the past.
