If I weren't a breastfeeding mom eating for the first time that day (aprox 7:30 p.m.) and had just taken my fast acting insulin, I would have ordered something else or just left. Not wanting to trigger my other special needs kiddo (doesn't do well with sudden change) to boot. I'm leaving this review instead. My waitress was great, I tipped 20% from the original price. It's not her fault the food was subpar. It seemed like the 3 ppl (not sure if one was a server) were too busy socializing to actually care about the work they were there to do. I'd say there were about 10 patrons in the bar, including us 3 and 4 if you include my infant. One other table, a single person ordered food at the same time.. at least that's what I could tell from where we were sitting were sitting, which gave me a good view.
The pickle fries were great! They were nice and hot and very yummy. I ordered the all-American burger medium with extra mushrooms and curly fries. My fries were ice cold when they came, chewy and stale, i can't even feel comfortable saying they sat under a warmer . I set those aside and let the waitress know. My mushrooms were very cold and dried out, and the burger was not medium and dry as ever. Tomatoes were kind of chewy.
Im so bummed, I've passed this place often for the past two years and finally decided to try it. I can't speak for anyone elses food, but I do have some concerns about the safe handling of food here. I hate that I felt stuck having to eat here because of my health condition. The space was big and nice and seemed clean. As an event host, I'm always on the lookout for venues and was pretty excited to see what I thought might be a hidden gem. I truly hope the owner gives staff a pep talk or hires better help because this was simply awful in terms of food quality and albeit...
Read moreSecond time coming here and I must say I’m quite impressed!
After readying a slew of bad reviews I must say I don’t quite understand the reviews. Perhaps they were caught on a bad days, which we all know happens or they are successfully rebranding.
Here’s my experiences:
Both times coming in they ask you to please seat yourself in the bar area. Maybe the lack of service was due to patrons not properly reading the signs and following basic orders? I asked to move to the dining/game area and was still served immediately (I’m lgbtqia+ with a baby 😉) I was promptly greeted by another server and brought a water. Let me tell you, I’m a Colorado native and only the fancy restaurants offer that level of service out here. Pleasant surprise to say the least!
I ordered the jalapeño burger, garlic cheese curds and side salad. They actually staged my order to get apps and salad out first. Great Front of house training, bravo from an industry worker. The portions were huge and everything was under $40 including the beers.
The food is surprisingly tasty for a sports bar. My only critique is that the burgers are a tad over done for a medium cook but still, juicy, fresh ingredients and made-in-house ranch and 1000 island.
For being a family sports bar they are amazingly clean, bathrooms, floor, booths, and Game Center is very well sanitized and kept in great order.
It’s a quiet place and I’d love to see more people with kids check it out. Most sports bars and grills have judgmental staff and patrons when you come in with a young child but here they make you feel right at home.
Definitely will be returning! Thanks for some great...
Read moreI am posting for my parents. They have been going to Ryan's for 10 years with several of their friends, Tuesday evenings usually once a month- sometimes more. They had the same server for almost all of those years. She was wonderful. She quit about 9 months or so ago. They have continued to go despite losing their best waitress. They had other servers who have also been good. The last time they visited will be their last. They feel the service has gone downhill as well as the food was just ok. The server they had was obviously new (or so they assume/hope) and thrown to the wolves and they had never had such bad service. On top of everyone having something wrong with their order, it took nearly 45 minutes to figure out the bill. The owner use to come by and say hello, which he hasn't for a long time. They feel the place has lost it's heart. There are too many restaurants in foco to just get ok service. They have moved on. They did not ask me to write a review, but I felt like after the dedication of being loyal guests all of these years, the owner should have some sort of closure as to why they will no longer be back. He may not care as he may not be as involved anymore which would be a shame. Still, I felt he should know the reasoning. I have always loved that place, food has always been great for me, I'm hoping they will stop in...
