Ask for a grapefruit/vodka/mint cocktails from Miles. Sit at bat or on patio. Order chicken. Done and done.

The fried chicken plate is amazing
Leigh QuindaraJune 15, 2012
The food is alright - but the drinks are the best! Frozen mixed drinks - perfect for the summer heat!

after 10 minutes go by and you still haven't placed your drink order, cut your losses and head to any other neighborhood option - you'll be glad you did!

Basically the mirror in the women's bathroom is the reason to come here. Nachos second. And frozen piña coladas next.

Order the hot fish sandwich with extra napkins--it's juicy! Make sure to get extra honey on the side with the fried chicken.

Williamsbrau is not too bad of a house beer for the price.

Looks and acts like a dive bar, with cheap, strong drinks. However, don’t over look the food, especially their Fried Chicken.
JustinJanuary 10, 2018

If you're looking around for what the heck to do...like I did. You go to the bar and order your food/drinks and seat yourself! Simple as that.

The frozen mojito is AMAZING. Go early, get a table, and order fried chicken. Mmmm

Fried chicken to go and pinto beans is a great idea. This place never answers the damn phone, but the wait is only 15 minutes when it isn't packed.
