Joe Kool's - Brighton

A first visit. It was a great atmosphere, lots of space and seating options, TVs all around to catch any of the games, people cheering for the Lions, clean. The hostess was moving quickly, cleaning tables and ensuring that the few people who were waiting for seated fairly quickly. Our waitress was friendly, and busy. So busy that we didn't see her again for some time. This usually wouldn't have mattered except that we hadn't realized we were without napkins/silverware when our plates were brought out. Husband enjoyed a pastrami sandwich. Careful as he was, it still necessitated a napkin and he sat for some time with drippy hands. Our waitress did eventually circle back, and instead of handing over one of the napkin wrapped silverware sets in her hand, she left and came back a few moments later with two napkins. I ordered the mac and cheese, as usually I tolerate the noodles and cheese even with my allergies and diet restrictions. I asked for none of the garlic bread; garlic can trigger an allergy response. It arrived with the seasoned side of the bread placed on top of the noodles. I tried to eat from the other side but still ended up with a minor reaction. I'm not sure if it was from that or from the other seasoning that was found throughout the dish. I had hoped to ask what was in there just so I knew for myself moving forward, but by the time she got back around to give us the bill, we were ready to leave. Overall it was a great environment, the menu had lots of options and the food looked amazing and fresh. The rating reflects the frustration of not leaving an item off when asked (I guess I should have mentioned allergen and they may have been more likely to follow through), or having access to ask somebody what was in the dish specifically, after waiting so long to just get a napkin.

Good food, and Great service. My wife and I ate there today for an early dinner and Delta waited on us. She was fast, friendly and knowledgeable. I had the French onion soup, and it was too sweet for me. That is why I gave this establishment 4 stars instead of 5. I had pasta , and Fried Cheesecake for dessert. They were both good. The beer menu was long, and the beer was good and cold. I would definitely come back.

Don't dismiss this place as just another sport's focused bar and grill. They offer a very respectable tap lineup and always keep a handful of local beers flowing. If whisky is your thing their offering will pleasantly surprise you. I usually stop for lunch and sit at the bar and I've always had fantastic service and great conversation.

This was my second time here. Came back because the food was good. It?s 8-12-22 at 2:30pm. Service was absolutely terrible, and this is no exaggeration. First off we stood by the door for 15 minutes and then finally just sat ourselves and called over a waitress. Secondly the waitress came to the table every 20 minutes. Food was good though. Then they sat a table of 8 right next to us, literally right on top of us when there was no one else in the restaurant. I understand seating arrangements in the dining industry but this was absurd. VERY UNPLEASED especially with a near 100 dollar bill and that kind of service.

This place was on point, Chrissy (the bar tender) and service along with the food was great. We came in on a business trip, and this is the hang out spot. The manager, (Jason) was VERY inviting! I would recommend 100% will be back!
