Pike Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Woodlawn

What a BEAUTIFUL experience! From the food, to the good vibes of the people, down to the atmosphere. There was also a handicap parking spot which helped my boyfriend who has neuropathy. There are also spots available near the entrance if you arrive early enough.

We ordered a salad with chicken, eggs, and turkey bacon bits; it was DELICIOUS, fresh and cooked to perfection. We also ordered onion rings, fries chicken tenders and the burger with jalapenos, I think it was called fireball - all were extremely good. The chicken tenders were made fresh as stated on the menu. The onions rings tasted fresh cut, breaded and cooked too. So did the fries. We were beyond shocked.

We ordered drinks too which was perfect. The bathroom was clean. They repeatedly cleaned the bar and tables, respectfully. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The only complaint I had is there is about a 15 minute wait at the area to order your meal or a drink if you weren't sitting at the bar. Bartenders walked passed and even others that looked available, but no one bothered to ask if help was needed or not. Service was good once you were waited on but because of this I had to rate service 4 stars instead of 5. Will DEFINITELY be returning! I had a...

Met up with a friend for a few drinks at The Pike Bar. He arrived 10 minutes or so before I arrived. I ask if he had ordered any drinks yet, He stated " the bartender has not acknowledged me yet". The bartender was a female white with dark hair and alot of visible tattoos. We waited another 10 minutes or so still no service. The bartender was to busy talking with her friends, the bar was not busy at all. He and I and her friends were the only people at the bar. They had everything they needed. The bar was still dirty from prior customers with food crumbs, drink glasses, and her tips. Lazy worker. After 20 minutes or so she finally decided to take our order. She never attended to clean or acknowledge the dirty bar area. We declined her service and moved on to another bar. This type of employees actions closes businesses, nobody in their right mind would spend money in that establishment with that type of treatment. I would rate this businesses with a zero. When you see her working leave, don't...

How have I not reviewed my beloved Pike yet?

Ok beloved might be pushing it. But this place is.... it's really kind of hard to describe. Yeah there's a bar full of regulars, but there's families, dates, obvious new to the area folks, I mean, everyone kind of. The bar itself is huge and wraps around most of the building. The bonus here is that you can bring in a huge group and sit together! There's pool tables, keno, tons of tvs, a nice patio and cornhole, and on certain nights; kareoke and trivia! :)

Their food is good, huge portions and cheap. They have pitchers during sporting events for $6. And their mixed drinks are strong. The service can be a little slow sometimes, you might be better off ordering at the bar, than waiting for a server. I think thats the Pike's fault though. I only ever see 2 bartenders/waitresses on any given night.

So stop out on Weds for Trivia at 7 or Kareoke on Fridays, and have a good time, no matter what...
