We visited The Jockey Bar for brunch. They have a nice patio. We had French Toast and Chicken Tenders. The steak fries were nicely seasoned. The Jockey sauce was really good. Great spot to have a drink.

This restaurant offers everything you could want in a casual night out for dinner. It has amazing food throughout the whole menu. Their wings are some of the best I have ever had!
