Most Disliked
Despite its many strengths, Shenanigans can get overcrowded, especially during peak hours like Friday evenings at 8 PM. This busyness might result in longer wait times for food and service.
Some guests note that the menu can be overwhelming with too many choices, making it hard to decide what to order. While many appreciate the variety, a few feel that a more streamlined menu might enhance their experience. Additionally, those seeking a quieter dining atmosphere may want to avoid the liveliness of weekend nights, as it can get loud with both music and excited guests.

We had such a a great time here. The food was excellent and the people were awesome to meet and talk with. We got there at opening and was greeted by Suzy. She made us feel like old regular customers. She is a hoot and made us old people feel like family. I had the spicy chicken sandwich and my wife had the grilled chicken salad made into a wrap. We both enjoyed our food and it had lots of flavor. The whole time we were there you could smell the barbecue smoking some tri-tip and it smelled wonderful. Suzy is a bartender but she is so much more. She has tons of knowledge about her craft and is willing to share it if you are willing to listen to her. She is truly a gem in this establishment and they should be proud to have her.

I’m from the South and just had some of the best ribs in California so far! Bartender says the bar partnered with a bbq man and it is on point. Not to mention his tri tip French dip sandwich that my brother has had two days in a row!!! If you like smoked meats this is the place! Plenty of tv’s a pool table and a porch to relax in a sports bar atmosphere!!! If you are apprehensive they do a 3 dollar per rib special on Friday’s to come try it!
