    I love their wings and their chicken quesedilla.
    the one in the 70's has skeet ball..Does it get better than that?!

      since you asked ;-), yes, crocodile lounge bar serves a free individual pizza w/every drink purchase and has skee ball and a few other games. not great pizza, but good enough for a bar, and FREE. much better than bro jimmy's atmosphere-wise, plus wed. nite trivia!

      and yeah, hush puppies are good, & i don't mind the grilled /pulled chicken sandwiches, but overall, ick.... i will eat at the one near MSG now once in a while, as a change from the usual around there, but it's not recommended for good food.

      Definitely more of a bar than a restaurant. I don't know why they even bother.

        I do like their hush puppies.

          The food is terrible. The only item that I have enjoyed there are their frickles (fried pickles). They are all fun for sporting events but leave before the frat boy crowd gets there. I expected so much from people that were supposed to know Southern cooking. They delivered well below my expectations.

            In a word, No. It's borderline awful with a fratboy atmosphere. Go for a beer -- eat somewhere else.

              Food was ok, ate at the one on 8th ave, service was mediocre as waitress seemed overwhelmed, could barely find her. They have various sauces you can choose from. Nothing special.
