Arc Light Sports Bar & Grill — Restaurant in San Angelo

⚠️EDIT TO ADD AFTER OWNER'S RESPONSE⚠️

Yes, I lived in Colorado Springs (12 years...which is why there are more reviews for places there, oh...and it'sbigger than San Angelo!), thanks for noticing! If you looked at the full review, you'd see I gave your business, itself, and the staff 5 Stars!! As I stated, I have been several times and love the atmosphere and your servers are outstanding! My problem, this particular time, was with the fish. The breading was separating as soon as the order was brought to me (same thing with your chicken fried steak...eaten in house!), but the pic was as soon as I got home...which was soon after. As a business owner, being condescending, snarky towards your patrons, and calling then names for being honest or not giving glowing reviews really isn't a good look! I am far from an internet troll. Just a grown woman giving my view of her experience. I will continue to do as such, as I have only been here a few months, and love trying new places. I'll make sure to stop in and say hi the next time I'm in...this hasn't deterred me either! 😉 God bless you!

------‐---------------------------------------------------------- Great place, atmosphere and bar. Ive only irdered a few items so far, and most are great. Unfortunately, the catfish is not! Please look in to purchasing fresher filets and using a better batter. The fish is mushy, and wet...not flaky and meaty. The batter is too thick. This separation should not happen. Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry works well!! Just some two cents from a seasoned food vendor and catfish...

First, it was very confusing to know where the separation from bar to restaurant. Then the dining area was not that clean, crumbs on those huge velvet chairs, one of the tvs on the wall was pixelated (many TVs on wall for entertainment), the cart full of silverware was at eyes view and some of the TVs just had a screen saver, nothing to watch or offered us to see. The waitress was friendly but then after taking our order, asked us to keep the card on file line a bar. My manager (I'm here for work travel) didn't like that but gave her the company card like a tab for us. The appetizer we ordered was fried pickles. She gave us like 1/3rd of the order & said they ran out and are making more for us. She took 20 min before very few came out to us. I didn't order a meal. He got the fried chicken steak. Breading flavor wasn't a match to the chicken. We left our food there, tipped her 5 & left. An hour later my manager started to get I'll over the food. There is no photos or talk about the food in these reviews then there's probably a reason. We looked hard for photos or reviews of the pizza...

Went there with a buddy for lunch, and we both got the "Taco Tuesday" special. The service was prompt and friendly. It didn't take too long for the food to come out. The tacos were delicious. There were very few people there. We say inside because the patio was not yet usable after massive thunderstorms the night before. Got to meet the owner; super friendly veteran. The decor was a little sparse, but the place only opened in September 2024. The prices weren't bad. The final bill was $32 plus tip (2 specials, 2 drinks). Overall, a nice place to...
