Best WLM Reviews
Went with my girlfriend and we shared our meals and spent about $90 total. The drinks were awful. It was their monthly beverage which sounded amazing but was so bad we didn't drink it. It did not taste like any of the other flavors except the bourbon. The salad and loaded fries were amazing. We had the blackened salmon sandwich was cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning and needed more of the sauce. We will definitely go back cause the menu looked amazing.
Had an AMAZING time there!!
It's a little pricy for the modern atmosphere and area, but I get it.
In the beginning of our service, it was quiet, and the waitress was very considerate on what's her opinion was on the menu.
As dinner continued on and it got busy, she was still sweet and generous and not giving off, "I'll be nice for the tip." GENERALLY sweet!!
As for the food, the brown sugar chicken was... unexpected. It was AWESOME!!
The honey mustard that came along was a great combo. The chicken was the star between the two, and it the hm did it's job. Good!!
The Buffalo chicken was of course, "Franks". Seeing as though THE MAKE THEIR OWN BLUE CHEESE, we expected their own homemade Buffalo sauce for the chicken.
I get it.
Buffalo chicken is a very popular dish, and it'll be difficult to constantly make batches. So I can't be highly upset with it.
Oh well.. all good.
I got a Citrus Haze mocktail. It was not diabetical nor bland. It was just right. And they made it flat for me due to my current condition. So maybe when I get fully better and can have soda water, I'm sure it will be a whole lot better. But I currently like it as it was.
As for dinner, I had a butternut squash salad with grilled chicken.
It's seasonal and did an ABSOLUTE banger of a meal!!
The presentation, the taste, and everything else were amazing. The squash was not " Over the Wall", but the amount given was enough to show the experience around the dish entirely.
All in all, we had a great experience.
10/10 Would Recommend!!
I really enjoyed my time here! The wings were so delicious, and the drinks were good! The service was really good too, despite them being very busy, and the bathrooms were clean.
Sports bar with decent food. Very friendly staff. Kid friendly place. Been here two years in a row at Christmas time. Nachos are excellent, wings are OK, broccoli and cheddar soup a bit hit, burgers and fries are very good. Large beer selection. Seems to be the best option in downtown for pub grub. Gets the job done, and often that's all you can ask.
I have visited this bar many times with friends for drinks, and it’s a typical college town bar. On busy nights, it can be difficult to get quality service, and the bartenders often appear drained. Recently, I stopped by for a meal and was satisfied with both the food and drinks. I had the half salad and sandwich combo, which was tasty. The house Caesar salad came with delicious croutons and crispy garbanzo beans. The blackened salmon pita sandwich was also excellent.
However, one thing that bothered me was seeing an employee use bare fingers to place tomato, lettuce, and onion on a burger, even though tongs were available. They offer over 40 draft beers and a good selection of wines and cocktails. Their happy hour "sliders," which are practically full-size burgers, are highly recommended. Parking is difficult, but that’s to be expected in Princeton.
Went on a Thursday evening after work and struggled to get the attention of a server despite the restaurant only being moderately busy. Food was more fairly priced compared to other restaurants on this street, quality was about average. I ordered fries smothered in cheese and they didn't mess that up. Nice selection of craft beers. Just mediocre service made the entire experience feel subpar. Probably wouldn't go back except for the beer.
Great place to enjoy a beer or cocktail with a group. Two separate bars and dining rooms offer plenty of space.
Great happy hour deals on food and drinks, with a friendly bartender and a solid beer selection. The food is decent for bar fare, making it a reliable choice for a local hangout.
