“ Had another birdie drop in my DM's, who had an EXCELLENT memory, that I adored a similar restaurants 1/2 priced select apps on Wednesday... That said, Big Kels ALSO, has 1/2 priced select apps on Wednesdays (today, DAY 1!). Her memory didn't disappoint! FIRSTLY lemme just say, that I was THAT guest (inadvertently) who showed up 17mins before the grill closed and I am forever sorry. I felt so damn bad for not even *realizing* that grills close generally an hour before the business does. I knew and KNOW that, but it's been a day But anyways! God bless a forgiving waitress. SO... that being said, and totally my fault... I treated myself to their Exotic French Martini Grabbed the Italian Nachos (yes, quite similar!), Ravioli, and Meatballs. Everything but the Ravioli was on their 1/2 priced select apps. Oh man... there's just something about those airy AF chips, covered in peps, cheese, meat, and pepperoncinis. Served with side of marinara sauce. Those meatballs... served with two light, airy and crunchy pieces of dipping bread to sop up all that sauce! However, for the moment, the ravioli stole the show. Just something about a cold, rainy night and a take on simple eats; but with the Big Kels twist! A little hard to find - for me anyways - but there's two entrances, a fabulous game area on the East Sides To-Go door, very eclectic decor (as you'll see in the pics), and a GREAT space for LARGE get together. ”
“ I'm from out of town and I came here 5 days in a row! The Char-buff wings are awesome. They fry the wings, sauce them up, THEN throw them on the grill!! Get the rosemary sweet chili Crazy good! Good deals for beer during happy hour. They make all of their sauces in house, so you can't really go wrong. Their onion rings and buffalo pizza is fire as fu*k! You should definitely eat here. Also, Rachel rules ”
“ Came over cheer competition weekend, place was packed. Got seated and served relatively fast. Nachos: 5/5 fantastic, wonton chips were fresh and dish was hot. Lists of cheese and toppings. Better than expected. Bbq chicken pizza: 2/5 generic crust that was total let down, not great. Toppings were good. Overall disappointing. Charred wings: 5/5 Amazing wings. My favorite wings I can remember having. They were hot and crunchy and the grill flavor was fantastic. I might come back tomorrow for more. ”
“ Had meatballs - 3+. Good but not great. Liked they came with mozzarella which made above them average Mozzarella pizza - chunky tomatoes, good cheese, spices. ”
“ Family friendly, reasonable and services groups! For the kids they have games and adults a brewery as a neighbor;) ”
