    The burgers are delicious and hearty. The brussel sprout side is crispy and tasty. The smokey Old Fashioned was really good. Spears is a feel good, laid back restaurant.

    All around it was a very good dining experience. Food came out fast even though the restaurant was extremely busy. Quality of the food is very good as well as the presentation. Service was very attentive.

    everything was wonderful. Their potato soup was delicious and all four of us had meals that are great. One of our servers even went out of her way to help us with a game that we were playing and made it really fun.

    Burgers were pretty bland. Also my husband asked for his to be medium and it was borderline too raw to eat. He felt kind of ill later but didn’t get sick or anything. The bone marrow appetizer was pretty good and HUGEEEE.

    Dinner was delicious! I haven’t been there in a few years but will definitely not wait so long going forward. My friend had a burger and I had a chicken sandwich. Had the homemade barbecue chips. Also got a yummy birthday dessert. Thank you so much. Service was great place was very busy so I’m glad that we made reservations. I will return
