Excellent sports bar. The wagyu smash burger was pleasantly seasoned and juicy and is not heavy, typically when I eat greasy food I feel like I'm going to be in a coma. But not here. The food was excellent, and the service was very attentive and kind. We were watching the Bucs vs. the Commanders for the NFL wildcard game, and the atmosphere was as lively as you can imagine.

Intriguing mini gastropub with a great set up to watch sports and have a fun sports bar experience. What surprised me the most was the chicken wings. They are brined with tea before being fried and sauced. The tea brine adds a unique flavor that I've never had in a wing and I was pleasantly surprised. The buffalo flavor didn't really taste like buffalo at all but it was still a very delicious flavor that I enjoyed. The ghost pepper ranch rub was not spicy as I expected from the name but it was also very enjoyable. I would come back to the place for the wings alone. We also ordered the Kpop nachos and I wasn't a fan. It had too much salt (maybe a strategy to order more beer?). There needed to be an acidic element to it, perhaps a unique take on kimchi to really bring the Korean flavors together in nacho form. Ordering from the QR code on the table made the experience more convenient although this option was limited to food only. We still had to order with a waiter and give a card to keep a tab open like the traditional bar scenario. If there was a way to limit multiple transactions, it would make the consumer's experience more convenient. Overall, we enjoyed the good vibes, cold drinks, and delicious wings. Check this place out if you and a group of friends want to get together for the game.

We stopped by Lavaca Street Bar for March Madness and it was pretty busy but there were still plenty of open tables. We were starving and ordering from Thunderchief inside and wow...the food was so good! We ordered the chicken sandwich and double cheeseburger and we couldn't decide which we liked more-they we're both delicious and the portion was quite big. The sauce on the chicken sandwich pulled it all together. We also ordered some simple drinks from the bar and the employees were quick and kind.

Went in here and they were just flat out rude. They were treating us like my friends an I were causing an issue when we did nothing but look at our phones and talk to each other civilly. Just felt like they didn't like us or want our business even though we gave them no reason to be treated like that. Left after just a drink because they refused to wait on us as well.

Solid sports bar. The staff is friendly, helpful and do their best to check on all tables to ensure everyone has a fresh drink when needed. The food (provided by an in-house restaurant called Thunder Chief) has a few all-stars and some duds. I would highly recommend the burger, regular or sweet potato fries, or the Asian nachos.

Sat on the outdoor patio and enjoyed a nice spread of food. We didn't realize that the dishes would be so large, and could have done without the Arugula salad (since it was similar to the Thai salad, but not as awesome). The dishes were seasoned well. Fried Brussels, wings, the Lucille Torta (in a bowl on riced cauliflower!), and Thai salad were amazing. Will be back for more.
