Shenanigans

Steve Strom

We were looking for a place to eat with outdoor seating on a Wednesday evening. We had never been to Shenanigans so we called ahead to see if there was seating on the patio. The woman we spoke to (Roxanne) told us they WERE going to close early because it was unusually slow, but since we were a family of 5 with 3 little ones they would stay open. When we pulled up, we were hesitant at first because we were the only people there, but we were pretty quickly put at ease. The food was great. Roxanne was friendly and attentive even though she was basically closing up by herself. I honestly didn’t understand why it wasn’t busier, but I’m grateful for it—my kids insisted on running around the patio. After talking to Roxanne and reading some of the negative reviews, I’m thinking the slowness is due to the current nationwide labor shortage and the competition across the street. The place deserves more business than it got tonight IMO.

Bar tender was drunk upon our arrival, was talking inappropriately to my 9 year old, then proceeded to pass out. We were then served by two people who were not employeed at the restaurant (because we put our order in before she passed out) and one of them had a gun. Try explaining all of this to a 9, 7, 6, and a 4 year old child. The owner showed up because someone alerted her to the situation and when we went to check out, we said we weren't paying. She yelled okay bye, thanks Roxanne, you wasted all of this food money cause they don't want to pay. I'll be reporting you all to the BBB.

The food was great. I ordered the lake perch with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetable medley. Very tasty and generous portions. However this place only gets 2 stars because the service is poor. I went at 6:30 on a Friday night and they only had one waitress and one cook. So obviously it took a while to get my food and drinks. On top of that, the taps weren't working so there was no draft beer, only bottles and cans. The bartender did her best to serve the entire restaurant by herself. I left her a good tip because I felt bad for her.

I've been coming here for going on two years. The food has gotten progressively better (especially the wings) and the drinks are pretty reasonable. The staff has always been friendly. Love the patio, wish it was open more even on cooler nights under 70. Never really miss an opportunity to swing through if possible. Recommend the bangers an mash. Edit/update- came around here 1-17-21, ordered a rare steak for dinner. Was served...pot roast? I think? The cut was bad, and it was very well done (reference my picture.) Staff is still pretty good.
