Good Times Bar & Grill

Great food, great bar, great service. Shrimp Cakes were excellent. Blackened Trigger Fish sandwich was fantastic. Salmon tacos were good. Bread pudding is delicious. Crème Brûlée was a bit runny for our liking. We couldn’t stay for the live music but the place is setup great for bands.

Went here for a comedy show and had an awesome time. The show itself was fantastic, and the service was speedy and genuinely friendly. The turnout was great and it definitely felt like a spot with a strong local following and lots of returning customers. I didn’t try the food this time, but everything coming out looked really good. Drinks, though? On point. Tons of drink specials, a wide variety of beers and cocktails, and they even had my favorite beer on tap—which is always a win. The space looks great, parking was easy, and it’s conveniently located near a lot of other places. Overall, a really solid experience and I’ll definitely be back again.

New Year's Eve party at Good Times was great. From checking in at the door to food entertainment and beverage service excellent. DJ was great love the dance videos...

The place is super fun, the shows have been excellent. The layout is also perfect for the atmosphere. Well worth a check out in the area! Don't make live music areas like this anymore. I would ask the resturant make better mimosas, less juice more champagne.

This is the happening place. The owner David Mander is a great guy and also has a great staff running to serve you. He took the extra steps to ensure that High-Energy Band sounded great. We did not have ear monitors to perform, so he quickly jumped into action and set us up some floor monitors, and the show was on. We need more places like this for us local band to have a place to show our talents. The food and the prices to hang here are affordable. We hope to perform there again. Thanks David, your a 5 star guy!!!! I recommend this place !!!

Nestled in the heart of the city, Good Times Bar and Grill is a vibrant spot that promises an enjoyable night out with friends or family. Stepping inside, you're immediately greeted by an inviting atmosphere filled with a warm glow from the stylish lighting. The decor strikes a perfect balance between casual and chic, making it an ideal setting whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or celebrate a special occasion. The food presentation is impressive, and the menu offers a delightful range of options that are sure to please any palate. From mouth-watering appetizers to hearty entrees, each dish looks as good as it tastes. It’s a place where you can indulge in comfort food while enjoying the lively ambiance. As for entertainment, the karaoke aspect of the evening was a mixed bag. While it provided some fun moments, the sound setup left something to be desired. The music was noticeably quiet, which detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, the mic volume was cranked up too high, resulting in an unbalanced mix that made it difficult to fully appreciate the singers. A simple adjustment—lowering the mic volume and raising the music level—could significantly enhance the karaoke experience for both performers and the audience. In summary, Good Times Bar and Grill has a lot to offer with its cool atmosphere and delectable food. With a few tweaks to the karaoke setup, it could easily become a go-to spot for a fun night out. I look forward to seeing how they evolve the entertainment aspect in the future!

A coworker passed a week or so ago, his family held a life honoring event there today. It was packed with his family, friends, and coworkers as we shared in his life moments. There were plenty of seats and tables. There was a small stage where folks were encouraged to share stories. There were drinks being served by the bar, and they were really good at getting the orders quickly to the folks. There were two entries available, one in the front area and one at the other side, which was great because with the capacity of folks, it would have been terrible squeezing through the crowd that was there today.

Great drinks and delicious entries. The Old Fashion had the right ice but could've used a slightly strong whiskey. The menu seems to be smaller than the one online. We arrived around 5 PM on a Saturday and were the only people there. We were told it gets busier once the music starts. We went after hearing about the connection to the former Dexter's. It does feel similar but less cozy and has none of the local artwork on the walls. Hopefully they add the pulled duck sandwich and the great brunch that made us fans of Dexter's. Lots of potential, great food, but feels like they just opened and haven't found their groove and regulars yet.

What a cute place. It is tucked in the corner of the plaza. Very nice lookin place. Ordered the special club. The bread was good the turkey and ham was ok. Missing something but still good. The Cajun fries were nice. We also got the Philly and soup. The meat itself was bland but all together my daughter said it was perfect. So over great customer service. Definitely a place to try out. Inside is really nice as well.

Went here on a date night with my wife. As others have noted, the place is loud. Forget about having any useful conversations. However, this is a live performance venue, so for me this contributes to the atmosphere. Lots of music and dancing, alcohol and fun. Servers are stretched thin, but it didn't affect our service. We were tended to in a very timely manner. The food was decent, nothing spectacular, just 'meets expectations.' It's bar food, so we weren't expecting something different. It was hot, tasty and came out in a decent time. I had the hamburger and my wife had the taco bowl. Both were good. The band playing was quite good and definitely got the crowd moving. There is a nominal cover fee so be prepared. Overall, it was a good experience and we would certainly do it again.

We visited to enjoy a afternoon of music and food this weekend. I love this venue! Great bands, great drinks and service. We ordered a few appetizers and thoroughly enjoyed the pretzel bites, egg rolls and pizza bites. Fresh and delicious! We will absolutely return in the future.

We tried this bar because we got tickets to a cover band of Van Halen and wanted to eat while we enjoyed the music. The place was very cool and had an amazing atmosphere. It was incredibly loud, and you couldn't have a conversation, but that was to be expected. What we weren't expecting was that we really didn't enjoy the food as much as we thought we would based on how great the menu looked. I felt that everything we ordered was over-flavored. Now I know that everyone has a different taste profile that they prefer, but this Mac n cheese was so garlicky that it lost its Mac n cheese appeal. I also had some issues with our dinners we selected. We decided on the French Dip and the Cuban sandwich. The Cuban was so smoked that you couldn't taste any of the other flavors on the sandwich. Actually, the only bites of the Mac n cheese I took was to balance out the smokey flavor in my mouth from my bites of the Cuban sandwich. The French Dip was rather disappointing as the bun was not toasted, and for some reason, the au'ju was also very smoke flavored. This dip completely took away from the flavor of the roast beef. It all looked terrific, but I would not order again. All this being said, our waiter was incredible. He was very attentive even though he had a large number of people he was responsible for serving. I will come back and try different dishes to see if it was just the dises we ordered and their other dishes are much better. NOTE: If this review has helped you in any way, PLEASE like this review so it can be elevated faster for them to be informed of how well that they are doing! If you have a different experience than I had, I'd love to know about your experience to see where our differences were. Thanks again for reading my review.

We had a great time here. The food was solid, band was great. 2 complaints. There were some overhead fans that made it really cold. I went out to the car for my winter coat. The servers, although very nice, were quite absent.

Saturday 12/6, Christmas party started nice with great DG, house music and everyone dancing. Rock band was disappointing, no one dancing not a pleasant for party. Left early and disappointed. Was not even mentioned in the website. 😟that night was supposed to be all good dancing music instead of high pitch rock band. Is was not a concert night. Sorry was bad

I would LOVE to speak to the owner directly about my experience last night. Horrible service from the front door after the bartender greeted me. At 615pm this place was overwhelmed with one party of 30 on the patio. She was very rude. 3 appetizers 5 beers $90? Wings were tiny and looked like they were frozen prior to cooking, not fresh. Marinara with mozzarella sticks is TOO salty. Mozzarella sticks not cooked properly. Crinkle cut fries. I’ve had better bowling alley food. CJ our server did his best. Not fair to sack your servers like that. Not enough servers working. Before you call me; yes I have been in the f & b business and know exactly what i am talking about. Food waits from 545pm-60+ minutes. Not a “good time”.

I used to be an avid fan of this place. Now it's main competition post time is closing. You would think this gentleman would use his wits and not try to charge practically almost $20 to get in if you make a reservation. I do notice that they select several people to get in free I guess they must be associated with the club. However, I don't feel that entertainment should cost that much and then have to buy drinks and dinner so $90 every time I go there. I don't think so sometimes the music is not up to par as well so that would be a total loss that evening. They used to get really crowded I don't think it gets to that crowded anymore as people are deciding not to spend that kind of money with the way the economy is. He says it's a past time for him however he's not using good logical economic sense. Good luck if your prices come down with no cover charge we would come back
