Usually, sports bar food is kinda meh. Low expectations, right? It's all about watching games?
I tell you what - the one place that I know of that bucks this trend is On The Kirb. The food is LEGIT. My main go-to is usually the shrimp cavatappi pasta. Delicious.
But I've also tried the pizzas before. They're tasty! And the wings! And the chips 'n queso? I recommend adding the ground beef in the queso. Yummyyyyyyy
Service was also off the charts. I was there to watch a game of my friend's alma mater that wasn't on any of the TV's and was hard to find a way to make it work and not get some other customer there at least somewhat irritated. The manager, Gavin, kindly explained this to me but said, as soon as my friend arrived, he would try to find a way. True to his word, as soon as my friend arrived, there was Gavin coming to our table and he figured out a way for our game to be on one of the screens! Highly impressed by this service instead of the typical "sorry we just can't do this today" that I might get elsewhere in a similar situation.
From a sports bar perspective, this is a good place if you have one main game that everyone wants to watch. It's become a tradition for me to watch Longhorn games here with my UT buddies. The food truly sets it apart, which is important because for all those coming to join who may not be as into sports, there needs to be more than just sports that appeals, and the food seriously appeals.
It's smart to set a reservation ahead of time, if possible. Also, there is a good amount of parking, as this Greenway location is part of a bigger plaza. I'm also a fan of the Kirby location for the same food reasons, but Greenway has more parking.
I'll be back! This remains a serious go-to place for me for those one-game viewing gatherings with friends.
