Slackers Bar & Grill

Stopped in for a late night bite after a long flight — stayed across the street and they even delivered to the hotel. I was suprised!
I had the half rack and a salad and the ribs were pretty darn good. Not St Louis or Memphis «good» but they were perfect for my late night craving.
I’ll go back — I found a new late night spot where the bar AND THE KITCHEN are open late!

Never been here my previous post was for a different place.

This restaurant must get its name from their employees. I’ve been there a handful of times, never expecting to be blown away, but I was. In bad ways. Other than one visit, every time I have been there food has come out wrong. Sometimes more than once a visit. Food takes a really long time, even when it’s near empty. The waitresses seem more concerned with flirting with the male employees, and the male employees seem no more interested in the guests than the waitresses. Other than getting your order, your server might not come back to the table unless you’ve waved them down. I know it’s a bar, with a laid back attitude, but there’s a limit. The food is decent, at best. Other than one rude server the people that work there are quite nice, but it just isn’t enough. I could deal with the mediocre food if it didn’t take so long and the employees actually looked like they were working. Not bad if you just wants drinks and to be left alone. But I wouldn’t recommend it for a dinner destination.

I like this place. It’s a bar with bar food. They have all the games untill the Packers play but it is a packers bar. Friendly staff decent patrons cold
a bears fan therefore 4 stars and not 5.

Expensive, food is garbage, seats are uncomfortable the only thing worth going for is watching the games.

Slackers Bar & Grill sort of epitomizes what is a South Florida strip mall sports bar. It’s a home base for Packer fans, full of flat screens, Packer’s banners and everything Green Bay right down to Green Bay, Wisconsin cheese flags. It really gets loaded with football fans of all sorts and displaying their fan colors. Matter of fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people wearing those Jersey type football shirts and football fan caps.
It has a great selection of varying draught beers. The wait staff service is rather young, somewhat unprofessional, but passable enough. As for food the menu is big with daily lunch and evening specials, everything from steaks to French dips and wings but from what I had, sort bar food like without having a good flavor or taste about it. I had the baby back BBQ ribs. They were perfectly falling off the bone done, but lacking in smoke or BBQ flavor. The onion rings I had, however, were pretty good as was their Caesar salad which came nicely tossed with the romaine thoroughly coated.
As far as the flat screens go, somewhat confusing. There were so many of them all tuned to different channels I couldn’t figure out which one was associated with the sound system.
From reading prior reviews, I think there have been some changes to Slackers in that when I was there, there didn’t appear to be any smoking permitted and the place appeared to be immaculately clean.

After our flight we stopped in here for a few appetizers and drinks! Server was great, good music and food and drinks… What more could you want!!!

The last two times I went there for lunch during the week I got horrible service from the waitresses. I waited 45 mins for a tuna melt when there was only 25 other ppl in the restaurant (mostly at the bar). The waitresses are there to hang out and congregate. I believe she forgot to my order in. I asked twice. Once it came, I had no silverware and had to get up to ask for some. She ridnt even offer an apology instead i received a syank attitude like i was interupting her social hour.
My previous visit I had to go to the bar for my check as my waitress dropped the food and never retirned. Not to ask how I was doing if I needed anything or a refill. Nothing. The food is good and so is the price but I will not be back.

Great Bar food! Nightly specials… TVs everywhere! Spacious with lots of seating!
Tons of parking with great lighting & security!
Nice mixed crowd!
They even have contests and you can win prizes!
Lots to choose from on the menu, good service and a fun ambiance! I live nearby so I go often!
Prices are good too!

Almost everything is frozen! They use Frenchs generic ketchup! Seriously a sign of a good restaurant is Heinz ketchup!
Any restaurant which would save a buck for French is generic is not worth my money!
WTF! Why slack on quality???
I won’t be back!

We had a great time here all the football games lots of tvs great bloody Mary good craft beer, fantastic menu we only got to try the Ruben rolls they where good but not great they need more meat.

They were out of mint for the Mojito. They offered to make a Mojito without the mint. I declined, though now I wish I had tried it to see what they did to fix it.
We were staying at the Hampton Inn right next door in preparations for a cruise. The was within easy walking distance. Service was a little slow, but the food was good.

I live close by, so I go here occasionally for something to eat at night (after the happy hour crowd, before the night time drinking crowd), so as the «bar» comments go, I have none.
As for the food, I have got to tell you, I’ve always liked my meal. I’ve had the burger, ribs, home made chips, wedge salad — basically a variety of different dishes, and the food, to me, has always been quite good. If this were just about food, I’d give them 4 stars
The wait staff at the tables I have found to be quite unfriendly and more to the «20 year old, I think I’m so cool» mentality, so if you’re into that fine. For us, it’s like geez, you may be «all that» but if you could learn to be a better waitress too, that’d be great and we’d all be impressed with you. You will consistently have to hunt them down if you need anything once the food is dropped off. Instead of keeping an eye on their tables, you’ll find them sitting down with some guys at a back table talking etc. Pretty bad; no, actually, the worst possible service ever; I would rate the wait service as 1; thus overall food/​service combined, is why they got 3 stars.
They have a pretty full menu so there’s something there for almost everyone.

I came here for lunch as a friend was visiting from out of town for one night. We were suggested to come here by the holiday inn express across the street.
At first, I thought to myself «oh my goodness, this looks crappy.» It is in a really seedy shopping center and just not my cup of tea kind of place.
But just as I thought everything would go wrong, I ended up getting a pretty good burger with decent french fries and barbecue sauce! just the way I like it. More refills on the gigantic, enormous soda? Sure. Thanks! No problem.
The place is designed like a sports bar and I think that’s what it really is even though I don’t watch sports. They have a flat screen TV built onto the wall of each table. I thought that was pretty cool.
The waitresses are all pretty down-​home country girls, very nice and polite. Probably Republicans, unfortunately.
All in all, a good value and a decent meal.

As an official FSU bar of Broward county, I obviously love this place!
It is in a strip center with loads of parking. The restaurant is large and deep with tables, high-​tops, and booths. It is decked out with FSU gear and memorabilia. The servers are very nice, and attentive, even in a rowdy, drunk crowd.
On game nights, its seat yourself. They make large tables and you sit with people!
Great drink specials! For the FSU games, other college games, NFL, and NBA games! Its just a laid back sports bar with some dedicated fans! I love every minute of this place.
Bathroom is clean, restaurant is clean. Bar is fast, food is fast. The food is just mediocre bar food, but hey…
See you all next season! Even though I will probably be there before that!

I learned about Slackers from a lady I met at the Packer victory in Miami (sorry Dolphin fans) a couple months ago.
I’ve been a Florida resident for fifteen years and gave up looking for a Packer bar by 2001.
I decided to celebrate my husbands birthday there with about 25 friends and relatives while our beloved Packers played the Patriots.
I called a few days ahead to reserve seats for the game. The man I spoke to said they do not reserve seats but if we come in early the server would accommodate as many seats as we need for the game. They did.
We had one server and she was great. We had to do separate checks due to different arrival and departure times and she mastered it flawlessly. She could’ve been stressed out but didn’t show it. She worked her butt off with a continuous smile. She was great.
I really miss that Wisconsin «all customer» involvement. During the game, strangers were hi-​fiving each other, dancing on tables, singing and chanting to the DJ’s eclectic selection of tunes during the commercials. I felt back at home in fun, friendly Milwaukee. At the end of the game, our awesome server brought birthday cake and had the DJ play happy birthday while the entire bar (500?) people joined in. It was a blast!
We started out with fried Cheese Curds on a plate which were ok. My husband and I split the brat plate 2 for $ 9.99. It was served with fries. They were good. Friends had wings and said they were really good. Everyone was happy with their selections and the prices. Out of all 25 of us, we were all «Slackers virgins» and all said we would definately be back. It’s a bit of a haul from Coral Springs (25 min.) but well worth the drive.
We met a lot of new friends including Jon the owner and the hilarious guy Mick from Ireland who was visiting his girlfriends family (whom he ditched to come watch the game) and was recently transplanted to Chicago. When I asked him «How did you not become a Bear fan?» His response, «I choose to be a winner. «.
Great fun and crowd participation with no drama. That’s what it’s all aboot. (Get it?)
Cheers!

We use to go to B & B in Brickell to watch our beloved Seminoles. Since moving back to Broward we found out the booster club of Broward has their viewing party’s here. From the moment we arrived I knew this place was going to be loads of fun.
Garnet & Gold everywhere, signs, banners, flags you name it this bar had everything FSU. We met the president of the Seminoles Booster Club and wow she was an absolute sweetheart. She was so awesome at making everyone feel welcome and working the room. Or shall I sat the entire bar! Yes so many FSU fans!!!
Even the owner of Slackers was mingling in the room to make sure everyone was having a food time. I was utterly shocked that they had a completely full house and our server gave us exceptional service. Yes thanks to him I think I pounded down three pitchers of beer all by myself. The only food we tried was some chicken nachos which were good and our friends had some other food items that they really enjoyed.
The booster club had a raffle which was fun. One if my tickets got picked and I went up with a 7 year old FSU fan so she could pick what she wanted. She picked a watch and was very excited.
We met so many nice people here. The bar is clean, huge, awesome décor and so much fun!!!
We look forward to viewing many games here.

About 20 of us gathered here for the Packers-​Patriots game while celebrating my brother-in-law’s birthday. Lots of fun. Plus, my team won.
This place dedicates Packers games to cheeseheads, like myself, who enjoy brats, fried cheese curds, and cold beer.
During commercial breaks, they’ll play Polka songs, corny Packers songs (including music parodies), and adrenaline-​pumping football songs. Folks with Packers shirts and jerseys are dancing on chairs/​tables. Crazy.
All of this outshines the food menu, which is mediocre. I had the things on the menu that Wisconsin folks would eat — cheese curds and brats. Had several beers, too. They had a Wisconsin-​based Amber that I stuck with all day long.
Lost my voice cheering for me team. I’ll certainly return for more Packers games. We had a great time.

My friends and I hit Slackers up last night to watch the FSU-​UM game. We had heard that the place fills up with Seminoles, and people weren’t exaggerating… When we showed up about half an hour before the game there was almost no room for any more customers. Luckily, some Seminoles pointed us to the last few empty seats and we were able to enjoy ourselves at Slackers for the next few hours.
We ordered a pitcher and then a beer tube. Single beers are $ 5, but on Packers or Seminoles game days you can get a pitcher for $ 10 or a beer tube for $ 13 (there are pictures in the photo section). Definitely worth it!
I snacked on a sampler platter during the game, with a smörgåsbord of yummy bar food: chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and fried mushrooms (fried pickles are usually an option but they were out). My friends got the wings (delicious, of course) and the veggie sandwich. There’s a good variety on the menu.
Of course, the main attraction was the game, and this was the perfect spot to be for our win. The entire place was full of Seminoles, which made it a lot of fun to cheer our team on. They sing the fight song just like we did in Doak Campbell Stadium, which really makes it fun. I’m sure it’s just as spirited for Packers games!
Despite the crowds, our service was great and attentive, and the restrooms were clean. I plan to return for future games! Plus, there’s a check in offer right now that requires 3 check ins, so I’ve gotta work on that!

Friday night we were running out of ideas where to go for dinner. I had a sudden craving for wings, probably because of the wings I tasted from Kapow on night of Unilocal!Culture Clash event. So we decided to visit a local bar close to our house which we have never visited before and get some bar food.
We walked in and it was exactly what we expected. Not a hole in the wall bar but it sure was nothing fancy. Actually I prefer going to places like this. I much prefer going to places where locals go rather than fancy places which they over charge you on everything. After we sat down and ordered our drinks, I got a feeling some of the patrons were out of town visitors who are staying at the hotels near by.
We sat at the bar and ordered a round of beers. They got a pretty good craft beer selection for a local bar like this. I ordered the Magic Hat and my wife ordered the bar’s own Wisconsin Amber. The beer was actually pretty good so I decided to order one too after I finished mine.
We ordered a couple typical bar food, 10 wings and chicken nachos. The wings were medium spicy but it was a bit salty for me. The chicken nachos were nothing ordinary however, the chicken was a bit dry for my taste. Both dishes were okay at best but it is not a place for fine dining so it is what it is.
One thing I did find weird. I guess there were no managers on duty at the time we were there. Because we were sitting at the end of the bar, and we heard a lot of conversation between the bartenders and the waitress near the servicing wells. Most of the waitress were complaining about the customers who were in their mind very demanding. Some were complaining how late they had to work, and some brought chips from the super market next door and proceeded snacking. If any managers were on duty, they should not allow them to do that in front of the customers. But the bartender who served us was friendly, and the beers were cool so we maybe back just for happy hours. And I am thinking ordering their beer tube!
