R Patio - Lawrence

I’d really like to rate this bar higher, but my recent visit was a bit disappointing. First, let me mention that they do have some great drink specials, a lively jukebox, and...

The pictures of this place are deceiving; it looks better online than it does in person. I took my wife there for a quick snack and a couple of beers, and there were only five customers in the entire restaurant. We were greeted only after closing time.

The coleslaw was definitely past its freshness, and the wings tasted like they were a week old, although the charbroiled flavor helped a bit. I don't think I'll be ordering food from here again.

It was a bit of a drive, but we went to check out a friend's band. We only ordered a potato appetizer and a couple of soft drinks. The prices were reasonable, and I have no complaints. The only downside was that I wished the patio was larger so we could have sat outside. However, we still enjoyed a nice spot just inside the roll-up door. Overall, it was a good experience!

The atmosphere is quite pleasant, and the staff is friendly. I've tried two different meals here. One was a pulled pork burger, and the other featured a crab cake on a hamburger, accompanied by cheesy potato cakes. The pulled pork burger was really delicious. The crab cake smelled great, but it was just average, and the same goes for the potato cakes. They reminded me of food that has been fried in old oil. On a positive note, the beer is cold, the employees are great, and my overall experience has been enjoyable.
