rivals sports grille

service and food sub par. in the last 3 weeks have visited 4 times. every time the bartenders were openly annoyed to have to serve us. not one of them have a personality. the nachos were a joke. a couple diced tomatoes and black olives topped with a barely there cheese sauce. and if that's not enough we were charged for the additional cheese sauce i requested to make them edible. on the plus side??.. they have keno.

chef driven menus and craft beer! perfect.

visit rivals. yep.. rivals sports grille seems to have all of their bases covered (get it, a sports reference to a sports bar?). the food is good and most items have a small but unique twist, making everything a little better than standard bar food. the food is moderately priced, probably a bit lower than what other locations would charge for the type of food served. most drinks are priced below average and priced even lower during browns/indians/osu games and certain items are on constant special. service is usually prompt. the new patio addition in late 2011 tripled the outdoor space. as said in other reviews, the parking can get crowded, especially during peak hours. the multiple rooms feel a little weird as opposed to most bars in the area that are one large, open room and a patio. the home brew is cheap but well-received by most (feels like your average light beer with slightly more taste). they're open almost all hours of the day (starting at 7 a.m. for all the early bird alcoholics). enough tvs to catch the game at any time, even during crowded hours.

fantastic. if you want the best of both worlds, here it is. a sports bar with tons of high-quality televisions and awesome food. the menu is way beyond typical sports bar fare and is delicious. so you can get something tasty that's not strictly grease and calories and watch the game, too. there are lots of specialty beers on tap, too. often local bands are playing there on the weekends - no cover charges. the patio is small and not much fun, but there doesn't look like any space to expand there. parking can get really crowded during happy hour or on wekends and there is overflow parking across the street (which badly needs paved and marked because you can get trapped in there). most of the servers there are really nice, friendly, and give good service - especially scott and megan. the owner is kind of a tool, though and seems phony to the customers that he tries to schmooze. but overall, this place is a 10 in most categories.

food is good here. they had multiple specials for lenten fridays. the pizza is very good too.

casual place with friendly staff, and great food. try their potato chips. you won't be dissapointed! kid friendly too.
