Benchwarmer's

Don't count on to go orders - never came - asked multiple times - finally asked for a manager - and her response was "call the owner". She never asked about the situation, she simply didn't care. The food is average - and they don't get your order right . Don't see it lasting.

Sports bar with TVs and screens all over. You can't not see a game here, there are screens for every event. It is a dive bar situation but that doesn't make it bad. They have drinks specials often. So it may be worth stopping in for those. There is free parking because it's in a strip mall. Now at the time of this review,the strip mall is pretty much abandoned, and this may be the only thing live.The shots come up in little Dixie cups, not regular shot glasses, which is funny to me for some reason lol. They have a full bar so you should not have any short of options. They have plenty of beers available in bottle but not sure about the draft situation.They have a pool table room in back. There are at least 5 or 6 tables so you should be fine as far as looking for a place for billiards.Tia took care of me at the bar. She approached me immediately and we had good convo even before I looked at the menu. So I appreciate the customer service.Lemon pepper wings (wet) were good. They had plenty of wet all over the tray so they did they job! They come with celery and either Bleu cheese or ranch dressing.Bacon cheeseburger was pretty sizable. Comes with onion, pickles, tomato, and lettuce. Got mine medium and it was cooked pretty well. This would be good as a neighborhood dive bar spot when you want quick bar food and drinks that won't break the bank.

One of my favorite bars to eat at. The drinks are always strong and the food is always good and comes out fast. If you're in the area and don't want to pay outrageous prices for yummy simple food stop in!

Benchwarmer's tends to always end up as a warm up to a drunken evening. Love this divey spot right off of I-85 - cheap drinks with greasy & tasty bites. I have definitely had regretful evenings here where we plan on having "just one drink" and end up bar hopping from here. Don't do that. Either have just one drink or stay here lol. I have found myself here actually after a boozy evening and needing some sustenance so I ended up hydrating on WATER lol a true benchwarmer maybe? Food is actually pretty tasty - we ordered some wings, fried pickles and tater tots and it helped soak up the alcohol and really just hit the spot. I can't say these are the best wings and bar food I've had but I can't complain either. Stop by Benchwarmers for a low key place to grab quick and easy food and cheap drinks!

I walked in hoping to get some bar food and a drink during late hours. I was stared at a lot by patrons but the bartender who wasn't helping anyone else wouldn't even look at me. I sat at the bar patiently for a while waiting for the bartender. Finally I gave up and left. I cannot judge food or drink since I couldn't get any. But I know ambiance and service were bottom of the barrel on my attempted visit.

Regardless of how the outside looks, step inside and give them a chance! TVs everywhere, great place to watch the games, but it's the food that keeps me coming back. My go to is the jambalaya, must try!

First off I just want to say I'm thankful for Bench Warmers being open on Thanksgiving. It gave me and my dad the opportunity to spend some time together and some watch football. This was my first time going to Bench Warmers and I was really impressed. There is tons of parking available out in the parking lot so no matter the occasion or event I'm almost for certain you'd be able to find parking. The place is pretty big. One of the biggest bars I've been to and I didn't even go around the whole place to explore. As you know, I came with my father but this is also a great place for a friendly date or group outing. Given that it is Thanksgiving I didn't expect for the place to be busy. We sat at the bar with a few others. The ladies at the bar were so polite and nice. Since I was only there to have a drink I went with the Thursday special which is a Long Island Tea ($6). I'm not sure if that's an every Thursday special but it was today. I also gave in and had an appetizer as well. I went with the Jalapeño Mac & Cheese ($3.99) and my dad had the 6 pc lemon pepper wings ($9.99). The Jalapeño Mac & Cheese was pretty good. They weren't made with your typical noodles but I've had these kind before. You could taste the spicy flavor and the Mac was cheesy as well. Definitely had to be baked which I like. It wasn't rushed and whoever cooked it really took the time and effort to make sure I enjoyed it and I did. I also had a few of my dads wings and I was impressed by the size and taste of the wings. You have the option to get them dry or wet so I knew then that they'd have some flavor to them. I have to say, I was impressed and I want to come back on a normal day and catch the vibe and more food.

Looking for a v late night pub/bar meal & 'beverages' ? Look no further Was visiting Decatur/Druid Hills areas of Atl fo work, and needed a break after v Long day , thought everything was closed cuz so late , until .. .. u guessed it Menu not short on anything, w plenty of TVs so u need not speak to anyone ;) The Fried Pickles and Salmon salad were outstanding btw.Bartender knew his stuff, haven't had a real bourbon 'Old Fashioned' in a while :)

I found this place because of Yelp. I never would have come otherwise. It is the one remaining business of a derelict shopping center and a sports bar. But is was close to where I was going and sports bars usually don't get numerous five star reviews.So in we went -- and found a cavernous dark place with a few families digging into their burgers and every sport known to man playing on the TVs. Menu was bar food with occasional odd diversions. (Salmon?) I went for the bleu burger -- my wife went for something with bacon on it.For drink, we had iced tea. Usually, in a bar, tea stinks. This was dead on perfect -- strong not bitter. A small thing.And they kept the small things right. The Mac and Cheese was just a little spicy and the texture was perfect (not just a glob of bland). The baked potato my wife got looked pretty good too. The burger? Medium rare that was genuine medium rare. The blue cheese and onion rings had great flavor (these were good onion rings -- and did not overpower everything else).Obviously, not something you go miles to have. But this is very good food in an unexpected place.

I love Benchwarmer's. Been going there forever which is why I give the 4 star and not a 1 star for this review. However, we got two orders of Southwest Egg rolls (6 in total) which are usually great. Unfortunately this time it looked like they were all frozen together and thrown in a fryer and not cooked properly. All of them seemed undercooked only on one side. Not inedible but not very good either.
