Great place to watch a game, but I totally disagree with the crazy 3% fee that this restaurant continues to charge post-Covid. I understood it during those times, but stop charging this fee to the customers now. Most all restaurants have dropped the fee, but a few still maintain it and it just galls me. I had to ask for it to be removed and it was, but not after the kind waitress said "one time only exception." Also need to expand menu. Limited options.
