The Draft Sports Bar & Grille — Restaurant in Clayton Charter Township

I ate at The Draft Sports Bar & Grille with my husband and 23 yr. old son. This is a new place & right away, we all commented that we liked the decor & atmosphere. It's cool, modern looking, yet laid back & fun. We thought the whiskey bottle lights above the bar & in the bathrooms were a creative touch. Also, when we were there, the womens & mens bathrooms were very clean. We counted 20 flat screen TVs all around the entire restaurant, all on sports channels, so no matter where you sat, you would be able to see your games. You can pick songs on the jukebox, right from your table on your own phone. They had mostly high top tables and chairs, but also some booths too. Our waitress and any of the staff, were friendly, polite & seemed eager to please. My husband liked his Black & Bleu burger & fries & loved his Pidgeon Hill Oatmeal Cream Pie beer on tap. I liked my Carolina Pork Wrap & appreciated that any sandwich you could get as a Panini or a wrap! Instead of fries I asked for their BBQ pork rinds & am glad I did! These are not the kind you buy at the store, they make them fresh here! My husband & I have been talking about going low carb/keto so having fresh pork rinds in various flavors here is a major plus to us! Our son ordered the Monte Cristo with raspberry sauce & fries. His Monte Cristo was so delicious that we ended up buying an extra one near the end of our meal to take home for a treat for our adult daughter, who also loved hers. We noticed that they had several speciality cocktails that were themed for several sports teams, which we all thought was a fun idea & they sounded yummy too! My husband & I don't even live in the area, but our sons do, so we will be back...

I had high hopes for this place. It comes highly recommended by my friend. The service was not great, the food was not great. We ordered pickle fries (one of my friend's suggestions) and the flavor was good, but they were over cooked and a lot of the basket was small empty pieces of fried batter. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. The bun fell apart as soon as I picked it up, so I just knife-and-forked it because the chicken was pretty good. The sweet potato fries were dusted with cinnamon sugar powder, or something similar and served with caramel sauce. Super sweet and tasty together. My honey ordered the smothered grilled chicken with veggies and he enjoyed his entree. The service was pretty bad, honestly. We waited a decent amount of time for our drinks as we watched them sit on the bar for a few, then sit in our server's hands while she finished her conversation. I had to ask for bar napkins to go under our drinks, and not once during our meal did she come by to ask how it was or if we needed anything. I had to stare her down across the restaurant to get her attention so we could ask for our check. Not to mention how icky it was to watch her (presumed) boyfriend come out of the kitchen while she was putting in an order and get a little hand-sy right there at the POS station 🤦‍♀️(And yes, I did still leave a decent tip, because in a server myself) We will most likely give this place another shot, and hopefully we'll have a better experience. We do like to support...

The only reason this restaurant gets one star is the pretzel on their appetizer menu. Beyond that, the food and the service are awful! I attempted to order “Creek Tips” and I was told they were discontinued despite the fact that they were still on the menu. I was then but on hold for over five minutes. When the server came back to the phone, I tried to order boneless chicken wings with two of the sauces listed on the menu only to be told they were out of the sauces. Next I tried to order a Turkey Reuben and I asked the server what type of cheese came on the sandwich and they had to put me on hold once again so they could ask someone else. I asked for 1000 Island dressing to be put on the sandwich and AGAIN was put on hold while the server questioned someone else. FINALLY, I finished my order. When I actually got my food, the wings were extremely dry both inside and out and the sandwich did not have the 1000 Island I had requested. I ended up eating less than half of my sandwich and less than half of the wings were eaten. I am TERRIBLY disappointed in my entire experience with this restaurant! I had heard RAVE reviews about this restaurant and I was extremely excited to try it out...however, I was sadly...
