We went here on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. Unsurprisingly, it has a racing theme, but surprisingly, it also had live music this Friday night. The place was a little loud, but it was hopping, so that's to be expected. By the number of locals there enjoying themselves, we knew we had picked a good spot to eat and drink. The service was friendly, the locals were friendly, the food was good, overall an enjoyable time. We'll be back .Parking: Only a few spots in their lot for the many folks there. You might have to walk a bit (a block?) to get there, but it's worth it.

Waitress was the best part of the experience. 1st place I've ever ordered buffalo wings and had dry wings served to me with a little cup of sauce (sauce wasn't spicy at all)... The fish fry had next to no flavor even drizzling lemon all over. Not to mention the fries were bagged fries, not homemade. The reese's peanut butter pie was $8 and it was literally a sliver of pie. Like literally as wide as the tip of someone's pinky. The scenery of the bar was nice, very decorative, the food though? Hard pass... $74 and left hungry.

The Burger I had at Kookalarocs was awesome! My company said their sandwich was okay. One drink for each of us and the sandwiches came to $50. Beer selection was limited but I was informed they also have Angry Orchard in a bottle. Our server Gay was simply amazing and they were welcoming to our dogs which was very cool.

Disappointing.After a long day in the sun at the track, we were looking forward to cold drinks and good food.Disappointing.We were there for an hour and ten minutes and only had one drink. I always wondered how that happens to people... now I know.We basically never saw our server after taking our food and drink refill order. Never.Disappointing.We asked the hostess for a manager. A manager came. Never apologized. Blamed the poor service on the fact that the server was new, and in good faith, didn't offer to comp our one drink.Disappointing.The server did come over and apologize before we left. Verge of tears. Very difficult party of 8. Second day on her own.Ask for help. Get a manager. Check back with us. SomethingDisappointing.Other than the fact that the venue was cool, the bartender and another nearby server was busting her butt, and the young hostess was sweet and apologized on our way out, I would have given it 1-2 stars.

Another visit on a whim. We wanted a quick bite but ended up a long wait, they were short staffed but honestly the place is amazing. We enjoyed checking out the place as they have an array of things hanging everywhere. By the time our food was served it was well over an hour but the food was delicious and made up for the wait.We were given a few gift certificates and the owner was very accommodating and will surely visit again 😀

Bar is basic, no drink menu. Several taps, a few domestic and then several for one local brewery. Mixed drinks in poor glassware. Wine options were local and not bad, also poor glassware. Server was oddly familiar but well meaning. Food was okay. Scampi was far too greasy, fries were good, salad was decent, fish sandwich was good. Decor was nice. Went with friends who had been before, they were disappointed that the food and drinks weren't as good.Parking: There's a lot nearby as well, not sure if it's paid though.

Really neat place. Building interior is really neat and the decorations are interesting and quirky. Nice place to hang out for drinks. I did not have any food, so I cannot comment on quality. Staff was less than attentive, but not horrible. Definitely on my list for watering holes.

Classic Florida mix of bar, raw bar, and seafood sandwiches. Clean with a ton of seating. Dogs are allowed in outdoor seating. The food is the right portion and is tasty.

Lovely space. Super nice staff. Food not quite there. The wings and other food tasted like freezer. Realize off season and bar food, but the pulled pork was not great and even the fries were disappointing.Really wanted to like it, but with other options in town, not sure coming back for anything but beers.Kid-friendliness: They were great with our kids.

Stopped here on a whim after hiking at the park and it was FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!! The food was phenomenal, atmosphere and architecture is great and the service of the staff was top notch! Will definitely make the drive to dine here again.

Immediately when entering this place I had to hit up the bathroom, on my there they had their pantry door open and it’s loaded with Stovetop stuffing.I took this as a bad sign as the food here is sub-par - some of the images on the the reviews the food looks great but that’s not what I experienced. It literally looks like they buy their food in bulk from Sam’s club or off a Sysco truck and that’s what your getting. There’s really nothing different except if you were to buy it yourself you’d church it up more then your getting here, these guys need to hire a Chef pronto. It would be a horrible waste for such a beautiful building to be closed down because the food is junk.

We sat outside under the canopy. Our waitress Jamie or Janine was an amazing delight. Ordered the doz Lil necks with garlic toast, raw oysters, and the house salad. It was all so delicious that I was so involved with the food that I forgot to take pictures. Very casual and relaxing. Really enjoyed our food and time there. We had the Lava Cake "to go." Very yummy 😋

We found this hidden gem after the pub we were looking for was closed. My husband had the Bruschetta Burger and I had the vegan style of the burger. The flavors were fantastic and flavorful. On our way home, we talked about our next visit to try their other specialities and enjoy their outside dining area.

**See Covid Update**Service was friendly, but bartender was very worthless. She was more interested in serving the 6 bar toads (who were sitting elbow to elbow and not getting food....rules for some?) Busch lights than taking our drink and food order. No social distancing. The chef was not very sanitary at all either. He walked around with no mask, shaking hands with people, and then returned to kitchen and cooked - without even washing his hands! Disguting! The saving grace was the clams. Great price for a big plate and were delicious. I got a second plate!! Need more of those. Nice looking place with a great focus on F1 racing, ***UPDATE*** DAYS AFTER OUR VISIT 11/18/20 Ks was shut down because several staff members tested positive for COVID. They then lied to the community about getting tested. Shameful. Now we have to quarantine!!

We ordered 2 Philly cheese steak sandwiches, one house salad and a fried chicken sandwich. One of the Philly steaks was ordered with provolone and one with the special cheese sauce, which we didn’t care for. My steak sandwich came on a buttery and crisp roll with-a few peppers and onions but it was overall Luke warm. The chips served on the side were unremarkable. The small salad came with red beets and was crisp and tasty. The chicken sandwich was just OK but my husband was so hungry he ate it all. The wait was too long. Some bug spray available would be helpful. The owner welcomed us at the end of our meal which was a pleasant surprise.

Looks like a fun place to watch a football game, They had Oktiberfest on tap, fries were very good and fish sandwich had a lot of good toppings.

Great place with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Often live music outdoors or indoors according to the weather. The food is great, friendly and attentive staff for all your needs. Fresh oysters on the half shell or baked are amazing.

I had gone in here after trying 3 other restaurants, the gentleman who was hosting was charming. Made sure I was comfortable with the table. Server was pleasant and thorough.For nostalgic reasons, I wanted fish and chips and a Yingling. Host checked back in to see if everything was ok. Crowd was pleasant and inclusive. It truly couldn’t have been more perfect, when I asked for my check, the server said it had been paid. I left a tip, but she said it was covered as well, but after leaving another one, left quickly before crying. Their kindness was overwhelming, food, atmosphere and staff were excellent…even before learning my meal was covered.
