    Fabulous service. loved the menu. Too many good choices. The short ribs and Mac n cheese was so good. Large portion. Very attentive server. With all the people on a Tuesday the noise level was loud but so manageable to have our own conversation. Cannot wait to return

    Everything was delicious! We had the pretzels which were fantastic. We also had an elk burger and southwest bean burger which were great. The best part were the vampire fries, they are an absolute must!!!

    This was our first time to Spears and we will be going back for sure. The food and service were great. Laid back atmosphere with sports on multiple TVs. Just what my group was looking for!!

    We love this place for their food, drinks and service when we are in the mood for a sports bar atmosphere. Saturday however seemed like we were in Chuck E Cheese with kids running up and down the aisles and screaming without parents seeming to care. I hope this was just a one time issue.

    The burgers are delicious and hearty. The brussel sprout side is crispy and tasty. The smokey Old Fashioned was really good. Spears is a feel good, laid back restaurant.
