Tailgators Sports Grill — Restaurant in Locust

Don't waste your time. Poor service, poor management, awful food that is really tasteless. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have ordered chicken wings as take out and my order has been wrong and they do not even seem to care. I ask for crispy wings and I get rubber. I ask for 30 wings and my order goes to someone else and I have to beg and plead for my $ back or a gift card. Screw that. I just stopped going. I gave it another shot last night hoping things have changed and because we really have no other options for true dining in Locust other than Mexican and a diner. Went in and had to almost go into the kitchen to find a hostess to be seated. They had a woman singing at the loudest decibel known to man and she was horrible and they were out of both sweet and unsweet tea. On top of that, the hostess looks at us, as if to say, "oh do you want something?" We ordered drinks and I made decision with my wife to just up and leave and drive to Applebees. For the only real bar/restaurant in the area, it lacks class and professionalism. Not a very civilized place to be. It really needs to model itself after a real restaurant. This place is crying for new management to come in and just clean house and start over with a fresh menu, better cooks and a staff that believes in great service. Grills shut off at 9:30pm and all they have is fried food at that point. No thanks. Locust deserves better. We have been here since 8/2020 and nothing has changed with this place. So disappointing. If I had the money, I would buy them out and put something there that people would be proud of. This is nothing to be proud of. I really give it no stars but had to highlight one here just to get...

Been visiting this place for over 15 years now. Tailgators Bar and Grill in NC is an amazing place to grab some grub and drinks with friends or family. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with plenty of TVs for sports fans to catch their favorite games.

One is sure to be enamored with the delectable food options presented in their diverse menu. Their culinary offerings cater to many tastes, featuring succulent burgers, wings, sandwiches, and salads. One would be remiss to forego the opportunity to indulge in their wings, and gator tail poppers, which are truly exceptional. Particularly noteworthy are the garlic parmesan and honey mustard wing flavors, which are highly recommended. Moreover, the service at Tailgators is exceptional, with the staff exhibiting amiability and attentiveness, ensuring that diners have a superlative dining experience. The establishment boasts an impressive variety of beers on tap and a full bar with tantalizing cocktails.

Another great feature of Tailgators is the outdoor seating area, which is perfect for enjoying a meal and drinks in the fresh air. They also have live music and other events throughout the week, making it a great spot for a night out.

I highly recommend Tailgators Bar and Grill to anyone looking for a relaxed dining experience in NC. It's a great place to gather with friends, enjoy some amazing food and drinks, and have a great time! Be sure to try the succulent gator...

Same Tailgators minus a divider wall when you first go inside. Oh & the servers seem to be different too (one step away from Hooters outfits) but def the cooter shorts & tight tops for now. Unfortunately, this visit wasn't different from most others. Little to no service. Food was okay, though, not a lot of variety. I did try the S&P Talpia basket and thought it was great. When we first entered, the hostess didn't acknowledge us with even an apologetic smile as she seemed to be helping go over the entire menu with someone by phone. After a while, our server came saying she could seat us since she'd be our waitress. We appreciated that. (We had already decided before going in on how much we'd tolerate THIS time before we'd just leave... as we go about once every 6-18mos now). She took our order and brought our tea & water. She brought our food, and until she showed back up with our bill, no one checked on us. No drink refill, no offer of dessert, no offer of to-go cups or a box. She came back by to grab the bill/card, and as she rushed away again, we had to call out to her requesting a to-go box. This was between 3-4p on a Sat. I saw 2 other tables with different servers, so I'm not sure why...
