GOATs Arena Sports Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Fairview

I stopped in at Goats and had a mixed experience. A few things stood out right away: • Waitstaff/Service: It’s hard to tell who the waitresses are since they wear regular clothes and no uniforms. It feels like random people walk up to you to take your order, which makes the service confusing. Attention to detail also needs work — my drink went dry and no one checked in to see if I wanted another. I also noticed waitresses and management walking by dirty tables without pre-bussing, so the restaurant stayed messy longer than it should. • Menu: The menu is digital, but it’s inconsistent. Some items have photos and descriptions, others don’t, which makes ordering a bit of a guessing game. • Food & Drinks: The food itself was good with a solid variety of options, and the drink menu has plenty of choices. However, I ordered an Old Fashioned with Wild Turkey 101 and felt like it was watered down — not much kick to it at all. • Staff Roles: They do have women serving tables, which is fine, but I noticed a guy running food while waitresses stood by. It might make more sense for the waitresses to handle running food while the guy stays at expo. • Atmosphere: It’s a sports bar, so it has the right vibe, but the service and cleanliness need to catch up with the environment.

Overall: Good food and variety, but service and consistency need major improvement. I’d come back for the food, but the service has to improve for me to make this a...

Reviewing from a family perspective with kids. 20-somethings who are there to socialize and drink will probably have a different experience.

Without telling us, charged our family automatic gratuity on one bill at a rate of 20%. It’s really annoying businesses keep trying to sneak gratuity values on tickets as quality of servers get worse these days. Maybe I’m old school but 15% is going to be standard, and 20% would be for exceptional.

They listed the automatic tip on the ticket as a delivery fee of 23 dollars.

Service was par. Wings were chewy, not undercooked in terms of safety, but definitely could have been cooked longer. (Good wing size though) server was resistant to put the check on two cards. I had some daily per diem left over I wanted to use on the corporate card then the rest on the personal card. She insisted she couldn’t do it, i assured her she could. She left frustrated then came back with the bill broke up. It was at that point when she handed me the receipts I realized the tip was automatically added.

Only us and one other table, and they were pumping the air conditioning at 9pm when it’s in the 30s outside, while steadily increasing the music volume.

No kids booster or high chairs. No kids menu. Could have easily not been a thing, but with everything factored in this place just isn’t hospital. Doesn’t offer enough to overlook the average service at best.

Hard pass on...
