Art is the man! Art was very welcoming. We decided to have lunch here, today, while hubby enjoyed a beer. The service was great. It is family owned and you'll definitely know that when you enter the business. They are also kid friendly, which is a plus. My two year old also enjoyed his visit. Kids eat freeee on Tuesday! So we will be back for that. Try the Thai lettuce wraps, they were delicious.

All time fav!!!! I come here weekly with my daughter! Always the best service and always the best food! 10/10 love their flights, beers are always great! Happy kid, happy Mama!

We visited UOB this evening for Happy Hour. What an amazing deal. Art was such a sweetheart and really good server! After I couldn't decide what I wanted to order, he went to the bar and started getting samples of things that I might enjoy. I didn't ask for this,. It was just so thoughtful and what a good business decision! The food was soo good. The Mango Habanero Tacos were amazing. We also got Nachos. We were checked in by two of the employees who were both super friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Will be back for sure. We love our locally owned restaurants

Came here randomly after a work event and we came on a good night, Karaoke night! (Fridays at 830) Although, it wasn't busy much, the crowd was fun and we sang a few songs that everyone can sing along too! The host sung "Let's get it on", so he's cool in my book! lol the drinks were good, they had a buy one get one on the shooters. We got white gummy bear and green tea. The espresso martini came with the steak and shrimp pasta. Which was actually really good! The steak was cooked very well, almost just melted away. For my first experience here at this location. I'd def come back, especially to sing!

Excellent customer service. Art T. was perfectly attentive. Food was great; Potstickers and Fish & Chips. And I'll get the Red Rock Amber everytime!

We come here at least one a week. We love UOB! The specials, the good food, the outside ambiance! Plus doggies eat for free- Bo loves to get his beautiful doggie bowl and gobbles it right up. During happy hour the apps are BOGO free and they have great quality food. Our typical order is wings and dumplings but we had tried everything. They have incredible drink specials for happy hour too and it keeps us coming back for more. Only downside is service can be slow. Unsure if they don't have enough staff or it's because we are outside, getting an order in means waiting 20-30 minutes to get a hello and some water from the server. When we get there one of us will sit outside with the puppy and one will let server or bartender know we are going to sit outside (meaning we're don't just sit ourselves and expect someone to come out lol) but we always have an unusually long wait time outside. It's not a big deal and seems to be a typical part of coming here. Which we accept because we love it ! When we do get a server there are always so wonderful and engaging. Great customer service! Thank you UOB! See you soon!

First time here. Adrian was our server. He is a doll. This place rocks the food was delicious it was very tasty and filling. Also kids eat free all day on Tuesday with a food item valued at $16 or more ordered from the adult. On Mondays between 5:00 and 9:00 for $21 you can get all you can eat wings and appetizers It's pretty great and there is karaoke on Friday nights. All the sports that you want. I love the atmosphere it's decorated with tap pulls. All the lights are bottles from the alcohol they serve. It's very pretty. I got a free with dessert for my birthday but the most awesome thing is that they have this thing where you can come in and bring your dog and if you order anything you get a dog bowl for free and it's amazing. It has egg and chicken and carrots and rice and an egg. What dog wouldn't love that? We are planning to bring our dog next time. Definitely a strong recommend for anybody to come to this place. The music is good but it isn't too loud which is nice. We enjoyed ourselves a lot.

My friends and I came to try the All You Can Eat Wing Night on Monday, from 5 - 9 pm. Everyone at your table must get the it and each person is able to order one serving of wings and one appetizer at a time. You can pick from three original flavors (BBQ, Thai Sweet Chili, Buffalo) and the premium flavors (Garlic Parmesan, Korean Gochujang, Habanero) for additional $1.50 each flavor and each serving comes with 8 wings. We got one of each original flavor and BBQ was my least favorite of the three. For appetizers we ordered the potstickers, chips & queso, and asian style fries. We did not really care for the potstickers or the queso but we liked the fries. The place itself was nice and clean and had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I loved the fact that it is dog friendly and they had polaroid pictures of a dogs in the resturant. Hopefully I can bring my dog with me next time!

Disclaimer, I am totally against any type of chain or franchise, HOWEVER, This place is amazing. This can be a great go to place with friends and family or date night. We came here on a Monday around 5, our waitress phailin was fantastic, explained the specials to us and gave great recommendations. Our food was great and served hot. We ordered a kids Mac and cheese, cowboy burger and wings with a side of Asian and garlic fries Everything was fantastic will definitely be back. Monday night they have an all you can eat wing option, Tuesdays kids eat free and Wednesday they have trivia night!
