I ordered from your restaurant for the very first time, and I am beyond impressed with the food quality, the wings were tender and juicy! The 919 quesadilla was delicious, you guys weren’t stingy with the toppings! The lemonade was very good, not overbearing with lemon, nice blend of flavor! The owner is so personable! New fave place! I will be ordering more from here in the future!

First, the food was great and the owner was very cool. My steak sandwich and fries were delicious. The chicken was so tasty, the wife loved it. THIS IS TAKE OUT ONLY. Place your order online with square and then you can get pickup or delivery.

So I saw the Drunk Tank Grill on Tik Tok advertising this steak Philly burrito. Know that you can get bread but I chose the wrap, it did not disappoint. I could only eat half but the steak was tender, cheese all melted and gooey!! I also ordered the mozerella sticks and that dipping sauce DELISH! The area is more intended for Door Dash but I was out late 2am-ish picking up my child from work and drove on over. Picked up my food that was READY!! Smell on point. Definitely will be back, if you are in the area check them out!

I’ve ordered from here a few times via DoorDash, and have not been disappointed! Both times I got the grilled chicken quesadilla, and it was a huge portion, still piping hot when I received it, and tons of chicken and vegetables. Super delicious, and for the portion size, I felt like it was a good deal, especially ordering from DoorDash

Absolutely delicious! We had the queso, Garlic Steak & Cheese, and the Wise Guy (as a wrap). Everything was fresh, generously portioned, and packaged well. Will definitely be ordering again!
