"The Sour Apple Slush Puppy at Sidelines Bar & Grill was sweet, nostalgic & perfectly priced! The vibe here is lit! The ladies working there are genuinely friendly, down to-earth & uplifting — the kind of energy you want to be around. I went out alone for the 1st time since I became single & they made me feel so comfortable, like I was just hanging out with my friends. Great service, great drinks, great people. Highly recommend & can’t wait to go back!"

"Kelly was a great server. Extremely pleasant & cheerful the entire night, always checking to make sure we were okay. She should be the model for ALL to duplicate! People like that deserve recognition for radiating great energy for a wonderful customer experience. My friend who didn't stay very long said the place had been updated since the last time he was here. Great atmosphere, food looked & smelled amazing. We didn't have any, so can't comment on that, but the menu looked awesome. The framed Mike Tyson autographed Nintendo piece was pretty cool. Even Lilith gave her horns of approval!"

"Ordered just 21 wings (honey mustard, spicy Thai, Cajun) and most of the wings were good. Good size (hell didn't have drumsticks but club sticks lol) problem was some tasted a bit burnt and sauce was inconsistent. The honey mustard ones were good, the spicy Thai and Cajun ones were the burnt or little to no sauce (at least evenly, the ones on the bottom decent sauce, the top ones not sauced that much). Staff/bartender was very professional friendly and accommodating. The place appeared clean and organized, though the male bathroom had no paper towels so when I went in there to wash my hands and wash my beard of the wings, had to use up napkins and sleeves of my shirt to dry my beard off. Still great place to go to."

"If you're looking for comfort food, don't look elsewhere. I just loved my food here - the chicken teriyaki wrap is honestly so good- just the right amount of meat, veggies, and teriyaki sauce. Paired really well with baked potato and sour cream. My partner took the caramel apple mule cocktail and loved it. His Ragin Cajun burger was very hearty too! Even though the place is the busy, the service was good (my waters were refilled regularly). More than reasonable prices. Great selection of cocktails. Would visit again when I'm in the area."
