Buffalo Wild Wings

Reviewed By Kathryn S

Sports Overload! and it IS a 'Sports Bar' so they fulfilled that goal ( no pun intended ) right off the bat ( Ok, so that's a little corny )... but they did a good job with TV placement and screen size. Now -- onto why people go to a RESTAURANT -- the FOOD ??? and the beverages? and in this case it was CONVENIENCE! We were already at the mall and rather than going home and cooking -- well -- this was as good as idea as I'd had all day ... Service - prompt, pleasant, informative about the menu and 'specials' of the day ... Drinks - Great Ice Tea -- not too sweet -- and excellent selection of beer on tap! FOOD - interesting menu -- not very descriptive -- had to ask how many etc. on several of the 'wings' items --- and the 'Sauces' -- again - had to ask which 'sauce' came with the burger, etc. Our Server was well versed with the menu and answered all our questions ... FLAVOR -- my husband had the BuffaloBlueBurger - standard 'hamburger' fare, but excellent fries! I had a 'snack (5)' wings -- and were well prepared, good saucing and nice size wings. I also ordered the SouthwesternPhilly -- good quality bread - crispy crust; nice beefy flavor with a good queso saude; Chips and Salsa on the side. I took most of my Sandwich home for lunch the next day as the Wings were really enough for me, They do charge extra for Celery, Carrots, etc. for the wings - but I guess that saves throwing it out of they serve it and people don't want it! We may / may not do this again -- nothing 'wrong' but we're just not 'SportsBar' venue people ! We went early - about 4:30 ish, and by the time we were leaving it was filling up fast! Handicap accessible / and good seating for wheelchair bound. Not sure what 'TripAdvisor' considers 'Cheap Eats' -- but I thought 38.50 was a bit much for what we had -- add a 5.00 tip and...

My expectations were based on an article in the newspaper about the opening several months ago. It claimed that this was a family restaurant that encouraged interaction by providing games and other amusements. The owners wanted it to be a place where friends and families could linger. The board games are on a shelf and there are pools tables and such. My observation was that there are very few tables and maybe only one that actually has enough room for food and drinks while playing a game. I left with the opinion that this is not an appropriate place for young children but families with teenagers might enjoy it. It is primarily a bar with burgers. The burger were actually pretty good. The hand-formed and thick patties were well cooked and juicy with generous toppings. The fries and onion rings were not fresh or homemade and were very greasy. The cutlery is plastic and everything else, except the basket the food is served in and beverage glasses, is also disposable. We may return for the burgers but we will go at an off peak time. It has the potential to become very loud and crowded which isn't what we enjoy. We were the only table eating, there were just a few at the bar and, even then, with the loud music, it was hard to hear each other speak. Service was prompt and friendly. We especially liked that our card was run at our table and the process was very quick.

Arrgh Tons of advertising and super cute atmosphere. But, rating is a kinda low 91 and menu was sorta pricey for a sports bar. Bar was impressive and plenty of TVs available for a night out with friends. But for a lunch break or a dinner not going to be our spot. My husband had nachos and they were okay. I had a unique grilled cheese that had cheese inside and out. It was good and that is unique but now I’ve had it. Waitress did tell us they have wonderful homemade cheesecake that we may stop back in to try later. Did not try on this visit. Nothing special but won’t black list it either. They are new and we’ll give them time to settle in.

Half Time Pub & Grub

Reviewed By Tom G

In town for a friend's birthday party and looking for a place to watch an NFL pre-season game at lunch time, we found the Half Time Pub & Grub after reading TripAdvisor reviews. We had excellent chicken-bacon quesadillas and bacon-cheese tater tots, a bloody mary and a couple beers. The food was great. Service was good. Beers were cold. The staff made sure we got the game we wanted on the TV right in our booth. The body mary was a bit boring with no pickle, olive, cheese, sausage garnish, etc. Overall, a great experience.

Reviewed By jungledriver

Don't let the members only sign on the door bother you. I would have hesitated after seeing the sign had I not been invited by a local. The atmosphere is great and the music is right up my alley too. This is a very relaxed place where you can strike up a conversation with anyone. Will definitely go back if I'm in town again.

Reviewed By packd2013

My family just arrived from far away so we had lots of appetite preferences to satisfy. McDoogle’s offered a diverse menu and were open Sunday evening for dinner. We ordered some Reuben balls for appetizers that were appreciated by all. For entrees we ordered: fish and chips, sirloin steaks, reubens and dinner salads. All were adequate.

Went for dinner with another couple. Ordered a bucket of seafood. It was all good but didn’t love the crawfish. Nothing wrong with it, but could do without it. Came with great slice of cheesecake. I ordered coffee and they made a fresh pot—delicious. The atmosphere is great and staff is super friendly and attentive.

We had various burgers. All were good with good tasting meat including a turkey burger. The fries were battered and very tasty. The onion rings were ok. Wings were tasty and well cooked. Side salad was delicious with a homemade style dressing. Service was friendly. Interior was very interesting.
