If your ordering pizza wings and beer at the bar you're probably all set never had a bad pizza from here and the bartender is always on point. Came in Sunday 10/20 with my mom and daughter, waitress didn't bring a kids menu out whatever, I assumed they didn't have one. Mom orders pickle chips, and we debate over loaded fries, and she orders them (a quick 3 second debate) I order my wings then we just order the entrees since we had been sitting there for a bit already anyway she orders the chicken parm we didn't know there was a sandwich and a dinner and the waitress made no attempt to double check (our bad). I ordered my daughter the mini corn dogs from the apps which is where I learned they do intact have a kids menu we just didn't get one. I order the BBQ pork quesadilla with no onion.
All in all pretty simple order. The apps come out. Wings banging as always the fries I don't know how to describe them, they looked and tasted day old looked like someone put Chilli on then scraped it off and the cheese looked like it had been cooked by heat lamp. I don't know how it came to the table honestly even if this was a full blown bar this should have been unacceptable to a bartender heating stuff up in a microwave. We return the fries and ask about the pickle chips, they never got out in. Normally I'd say forget it but honestly I saw what they thought was acceptable on the frie front and I knew I probably wouldn't be partaking in the "fresh order" so then the dinners come out which is were we learned there is a chicken parm sandwich and dinner, my food looked alright but I don't believe there was any drizzle of the sauce that's normally onto (no big deal). The take the parm back to make it into a sandwich and my daughters fries and mini corn dogs were acceptable.
So I then start think everything's been pretty screwed up and as I'm allergic to onion I thought imma double check before I bite into this sure enough there's onion. The bring the "fresh fries out" and my quesadilla went back i enjoyed some of the piping hot pickle chips which has a breading flavor left to be desired but I've had worse I'm sure a lot of people like it. So I'm going to say they're a win. So onto the fresh...ened up fries looking at these things they still look like the day old fries that sat under the heat lamp with scraps of the same melted cheese almost like they mixed the last one up shook them around and then dumped the chili on top. Fries themselves still tasted like garbage which I was surprised because my daughters were good. The parm sandwich comes out, my quesadilla comes out the parm sandwich was good, my quesadilla was onion less.... and sauceless they didn't mix the pork with their signature sauce or even just through it inside as a condiment it was lightly drizzled ontop this time. So I did have to ask for a side of the sauce so I could atleast dip my dry pork quesadilla in which to me seemed like the last straw for our server not that her attitude was great from the start, but now she was short and seemed irritated which I'm sorry pretty simple order the only alterations originally were no onion no chives. The parm fiasco that kinda on us but again with a similar name why aren't we double checking. The fries and the onion are a kitchen problem.
Our drinks were a unsweetened tea, a beer and a lemonade, and a coke they brought out all maybe 12 once plastic cups with ice so you know what maybe 6ozs of drink per cup mine was always empty but the only refill I got I had to ask for.
Though all of this I at least half expected them to comp the drinks, or maybe comp the fries because wtf but nope. I guess this is just the service and food that is expected when you're not sitting at the bar.
Her attitude only seemed lightened by the fact she still got a decent tip (which i was not going to leave, considering i come in once a month with 5 to 7 guys and tip very well for the excellent service we normally receive and this...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Basement Sports Bar and Grill, and I must say it was an exceptional experience, thanks in large part to our server, Liz.
From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming ambiance. The atmosphere was perfect for a casual evening of sports and delicious food. Liz, our server, immediately made us feel at home with her friendly and attentive approach. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she guided us through the selections with expertise.
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the pizza. It was, without a doubt, one of the most delectable pizzas I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and delightfully tender on the inside. The toppings were fresh and generous, and the blend of flavors was nothing short of mouthwatering. Every bite was a gastronomic delight, and I found it difficult to resist ordering another one.
Liz's service was nothing short of superb. She ensured that our drinks were always full, our requests promptly attended to, and our dining experience seamless. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile made our evening all the more enjoyable.
In addition to the outstanding pizza and impeccable service, the Basement Sports Bar and Grill offers a wide range of menu options to suit every taste. Whether you're a sports enthusiast or simply looking for a great meal, this establishment has it all.

Read moreThe dictionary defines service as “the action of helping or doing work for someone.” I define it as Brady Evans — because what that man does at The Basement defies explanation, physics, and probably several local ordinances.
I asked for a water. Brady didn’t walk away. He didn’t go to the bar. He blinked — and it appeared on the table. Ice-cold, condensation dripping down the glass like it had been summoned from the Alps. No tray, no hands. Just vibes.
When the game went to commercial, Brady looked at the screen — and the ads skipped themselves. Straight back to kickoff. I don’t know how. I didn’t ask. Everyone just nodded like, “Yeah, that’s Brady.”
At one point, someone sneezed across the room. Brady turned his head before it happened and slid a napkin across the bar with a precision that would make NASA jealous. It landed in their hand. In mid-sneeze. He didn’t even break eye contact with me.
A guy at the bar mentioned he forgot his wallet. Brady said, “No worries.” The man’s tab vanished. Not just erased — forgiven. As if the financial system itself bowed to Brady’s authority.
The lights in the place? Not on dimmers. They respond to his mood. It got warmer when he smiled. Cooler when he refilled drinks. The man controls ambiance with his chakras.
And the thing is — he never brags. He’ll just refill your drink, remember your entire friend group’s orders from last month, casually defuse an argument between two rival fans with a single high-five, and glide back to the bar like nothing happened.
By the end of the night, we didn’t close out — he closed us in. Looked us dead in the eye and said, “You’re good.” Next thing I know, my bill was paid, I had two extra wings in my takeout box, and I felt emotionally healed from things I didn’t even know were bothering me.
So yeah — The dictionary defines service as helping someone. I define service as Brady Evans — a man, a mystery, a legend, and possibly the last functioning wizard in...
