Nice place to hangout . The staff was polite. I ordered the 8 wings, they were tasty and hot. They have very good drinks. I was one and done with the drinks, it was good and I felt it.... I slept like a baby....

The day? Wednesday The time? 11pm The need? Good food and good drinks The order? Frachos (French fry nachos) al pastor and a margarita It was an experience - an absolute 10/10 -exactly what we were looking for. Margs were delicious and the food was on point. The atmosphere was every bit of casual, comfortable, and right up our alley. We definitely expect to return

More of a night bar than during the day with some family. If the family is looking for a place to have a beer, maybe an appetizer while you are all in the market area, this is not your place. This is the place people go to get drunk. If it was advertised as more of a family place I'd give it a 3, but a place called "Eat the Worm" is pretty self explanatory. Only had the chips (pictured). Of the two salsa's and queso option, queso was worthy, the others were eh. The bartender was cool.

Every time I come to eat the worm. I receive great service from the staff, I am always accommodated on my orders (food and bar service alike) Aside from the weekend rushes, I never run into any issues in this restaurant. Shoutout to Malik behind the bar because he never fails to put a smile on my face and make anyone I bring as a guest here want to come back. Love it here.

My husband and I went for a date night. The bartender was very nice and helpful when we told her it was our first visit. We ordered inferno wings, chicken nachos and carne asada burrito. The food was surprisingly very good. It was hot and only a 10-15 min wait. The ambiance was nice and roomy, you can play darts and they have security at the front. We would recommend and return.
