We went there last week since I had been craving the fried combo basket. I was happy to finally get it. It was delicious. What I was disappointed in was the prices and what you get for those high prices. I couldn't decide what I wanted so I got the taco burgers. They were pretty good. Just too greasy for my taste, when she brought them out, the taco shell had a pool of oil at the bottom. And I got a very small portion of fries. For $11 I just don't think it's worth it. Next time, I'll go to Bob's! Haha. My husband's burger was a decent size for a little cheaper but what really made me mad was the wings my daughter got. She was indecisive of what dipping sauce she wanted with them so she decided to get barbecue and ranch. She said the wings were pretty good. When we got our ticket to pay, they charged us $2 extra for a sauce. I wish she would have told us that because we would have only gotten one! I'm sorry but for a tiny container and you're charging $2 extra for barbecue she didn't eat and that tastes like McDonald's... It's pretty ridiculous. So with our appetizers and meals included, it ended up costing us almost $80 before tip and we only got waters and 1 beer. I'd rather go to Monte Carlo and spend that on a steak with the fried mushrooms and zucchini. Waitress wasn't the friendliest either. She wasn't rude or anything just not personable or friendly. I didn't see her smile or laugh once. Which was weird to me.... Now I know why there was hardly anyone there. Bummer... now I...

Whoever the DJ (fluffy I think) was tonight killed the vibe! He would play a song for approximately a minute and then change it to next song. You can't even enjoy or dance to a song cause he changes it so fast. Me my friends and social media friends stated going to the effin bar because they play rap/hip hop music and this DJ was playing mostly old school and Mexican music. If we wanted that type of music we would stay going to the clubs at the casinos to hear a live band play that type of music. We come to the effin bar to hear different music rap/hip hop. We left there and went to spend our money downtown where we can hear the type of music we like.

So Friday the 17th they had a good dj who played good rap/r&b and the place stood packed! Then the next day on Saturday you have dj fluffy I think he's called played music nobody likes it even heard of and only lets the songs play for about 1 minute and then constantly changed them. Once you try to start vibing he changes the music.

People if dj fluffy is there when you show up just leave he will frustrate you!

IF THE EFFIN BAR WASNT SMALL ENOUGH THEY TOOK OUT THE BAR STOOL STEATS SO THERE HARDLY ANYWHERE TO SIT!

THERE IS ONE WAITRESS THERE WHO IS ON THE THICK SIDE WHO IS VERY RUDE AND WILL BUMP INTO CUSTOMER AND YELL AT US TO MOVE WHEN SHE'S CARRYING DRINK! SHE'S SUPPOSE TO WORK AROUND PAYING CUSTOMERS NOT...
