My husband visited this place before I did and he and a friend really liked it. He was eager to see how I would feel about it. First off, I enjoyed the ambiance. It was clean and cozy. Music was playing but it wasn't so loud that we couldn't have real conversation. The server was helpful and kind -- and extremely attentive. My husband had the dry rub wings - garlic parm with ranch dressing. He enjoyed them very much. I had the meatloaf sandwich. which is made of seared meatloaf, topped with caramelized onions & smoked gouda cheese, served with jalapeno ketchup on texas toast. If I had to do it over again I would have the ketchup on the side and use it sparingly. It was delicious but I would have preferred slightly less ketchup on the sandwich. The sandwich over all was so tasty. I would absolutely get it again. I ordered it with mashed potatoes and gravy and they were yummy as well. True comfort food. Iced tea and the quality of it is important to me. I detest bottled tea, or tea out of a soda fountain. If it's not brewed fresh on site, I do not enjoy my meal the same way. I was thrilled at the quality of the iced tea and had four glasses and took one to go cup. I will definitely go back to this place many times.

I thought this place was great, I don't really understand the bad reviews. We came with our dogs and sat on the patio. It was August in the evening, so patio was roasting, but them's the breaks with dogs. The waitress was a gem, friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. I had the loaded tater tots with pulled pork. I swear the tater tots were double fried, they were perfection. My husband's Mac n cheese was delicious. We split a piece of cheesecake which I think was made in house, the crust was too delicious to be from Sysco. We will go back.

Legit no idea why there are so many bad reviews- I probably wouldn't have come here if I'd seen the rating ahead of time but I'm so glad I didn't! This place is fire. Loaded tater tots were legit best I've ever had and staff was super friendly and attentive. I have zero complaints about my experience.

I'm so surprised that this place has a 3 star rating on here! So my boyfriend and I actually planned to go to a bar across the street, but they were closed for a private event. So we wandered over to Sheppard Street Tavern and I'm so happy we did! They have an awesome little patio section which is perfect for a warm and breezy day. We chose to sit inside because we were so happy that bar seating is open again. The bartender (Mariah) was super sweet and provided excellent service! We got the Cajun wings with a "light dusting" of the ghost pepper rub. I consider myself someone who likes super spicy food but holy shit, the "light dusting" of the ghost pepper was sooo spicy! Don't get me wrong, it was super tasty but expect your lips to be on fire. The ranch was good, definitely home made. My boyfriend ordered a burger and it was a really good burger - juicy and flavorful. I was surprised that the fries were hand cut because that is rare! I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and was blown away. It's a huge portion of chicken (which I was happy about), thick, juicy and actually tasted like Nashville hot! I feel like other places advertise Nashville hot but don't live up to the hype, but this place absolutely did and surpassed my expectations. I got Mac n cheese as a side and it was so tasty. It was like restaurant quality Kraft Mac n cheese and I mean that as the best compliment! All in all, we loved the dive bar atmosphere, quality service, amazing food and solid beer selection. We'll definitely be back!
