One would think that a “Sports bar & Grill” is exactly that… Serving simple appetizers and wings and would be very surprised to find good food and a wonderful atmosphere.  Well we were surprised, first by the “Busy Atmosphere” then by the “Large Unique Menu” and to top it off “Large Portions”.  First we started off with a Corona each (To get the taste buds going!!) and while sitting at the Bar Table some patrons next to us had received a Mozzarella Stick (6) Appetizer which were so amazingly huge (See the Photo) that we had to order us a taste and try for ourselves.  They were definitely (Home Made) and tasted so delicious, even though price is $8 for 6 pieces, these pieces are worth the price as they are about 1.75 times the regular size of “Frozen” sticks. 

The full atmosphere was busy and felt great finally being in a place with a crowd, tables were full, bar tables were also full yet the service was great and always someone attended to us when we needed another drink.  Looking at the menu gave many unique items which was not copied for the “Restaurant down the Block” as most restaurants simply copy their neighbors menus, these guys put thought into each one. 

The Food:I have ordered (Fresh Pastrami: Two slices of Rye Bread covered with Fresh Cut Pastrami and Topped with Swiss Cheese) which was under the (Open Face Platters) which comes with homemade potato salad.  It was a huge portion which I could have barely finished and the potato salad went good with the meal.  I would try something else from the menu which looked very appetezing and wasn’t too much overwhelmed with this meal.

My partner has ordered the (Beer Garden Wrap: Prosciutto, Roasted Peppers, Onions, Lettuce, Fresh Mozzarella, Oil and Vinegar) which was under the “Sandwiches and Wraps” which comes with French Fries.  The portion once again was huge and she barely finished half of the meal.  I truthfully could not get a taste as I was busy piling into my pastrami, but she stated the food was good.
