Guests have mentioned the slot machines might not provide the best odds, with some preferring the nearby Waukegan Casino for a more rewarding gaming experience. While the venue is loved for its vibe, a few patrons believe that the setup of the machines could be better optimized for gameplay.
Others have pointed out that although the food is great, the average price per dish edges towards $11.71, which might not please everyone looking for budget-friendly options. The perception that some dishes feel a tad pricey has been noted, especially when compared to other casual dining spots.

I stopped on a late night to have a couple of drinks thinking that actually I was not going to be able to order any food at all but they can make a pizza after the kitchen closes so that really made my night because I didn't know where else to go around the area. The lady at the bar very attentive. Nice set up of screens to watch sports, Pizza was very good and the place is very modern and clean, I will return next time I'm in the area.
