We love the atmosphere and location most of all. It was hot so we ate indoors, but eating outside would have been our first choice. I had a frozen Jack & Coke first off that was really good then we ordered fried cheese curds for the table. Everyone liked what they ordered as there was a good selection of sandwiches and salads offered. I ordered a BAT (bacon arugula tomato) sandwich that was good as you’d want one to be.

Ordered a maker’s mark and wings as I always do, extra crispy sauce on the side. I have literally done it many times since moving here last fall. Zero issues and liked the place. Brought the wings out with the wrong sauce and not crispy or on the side. Understand that happens, mentioned it and they were going to bring me a new order. But brought them out in less then 5 minutes, obviously not crispy and with an attitude. The food guy rolled his eyes at the bartender and she agreed with him. I sent them back and just paid my bill for my whiskey. The place was empty and I live one block away. Not a great way to treat your customers. FYI, still tipped the bartender $5, so she had no recourse with “well he didn’t tip me anyways”. They just don’t care is my feeling and that is the biggest problem today and Universal Joint epitomizes it…no one cares about anything anymore. We just have to take it.

Room full of 40 year olds who peaked in highschool and the average alcoholic parent… food would only taste good if you were plastered even then. Portions are small for their price and waiters seemed unhappy (can’t really blame them). Thought it would be a cute hole in the wall place based on the reviews instead dinned at a restaurant riddled with crumbs and smear on the walls seats and “cleaned” tables. My food had been doubled fried and the fries so hard they could be used as blow darts. Only good thing was the doctor pepper and ac

Food was pretty great!!! It came out Hot, Fresh, and pretty quickly. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich was amazing!!! I would highly recommend it if you stop by. The service was also pretty good. Very friendly and attentive. One minor thing, and this may be part of the aesthetic, the building looks a little bit run down. Nothing too bad. Just could use a little bit of maintenance.

This place is your questicential college campus ajacent burger, fry, and brew joint. We were in town for basketball camp and ate lunch here. The food was fresh and hot. The service was good. The cups were huge so refills were hardly necessary. It’s was a very casual atmosphere.

Stopped in for a quick burger at the bar. UJ was very busy since it was warm and sunny. Great service and the OLD 1-2 burger was fabulous.

Different, very open n it is as they say. Drinks well with others. If ur looking for classy uppie up go else where. This place is very laid back, relax kinda place. If the weather was spring or fall the out side seating would be spot on perfect. The inside decor not much to be desired. They were slow getting us out drinks n food n a concert we were headed too. BUT, the food n drinks were great once we finally got them. N must say great to finally see male waiters instead of always flirty females trying to work that tip $$ lolol… cozy place..decent prices…

I always think it’s odd when restaurants tell you to seat yourself, because it almost always leads to you waiting longer than usual before they give you menus and drinks. I ordered the BAT, which was very good, and my husband ordered the chicken sandwich. However, his came out as dry chicken tenders on a dry and empty bun, despite not ordering it that way. The waitress did not come check on us until well into our meal and by that point he had just decided to eat them as tenders. When we mentioned this, she apologized, but didn’t offer anything to resolve it. We did notice they deducted a few dollars from the bill, so we ended up being okay with the situation. We probably will never come back, just because it was so underwhelming.

Gearheads will love the old service station setting, which is really awesome in nice weather with the doors open. Food and service were very good. A nice mix of country music playing too!
