Tailgators Sports Grill 1788 West Main Street, Locust, NC 28097

"Been here a dozen times never anything special. My last visit walked in host was watching TV while 3 groups waited behind him to be seated. Got seated server went to the last table seated took drink orders and served them never even spoke to us we left after waiting 10 min. This food has never be worth waiting for."

"Second time eating here and not worth the $50 even with military discount. Mediocre food in my opinion . We ordered two salads, potato skins and two kids burgers. Potato skins were decent minus the bacon that was hard as a rock and I had to spit out the pieces. Salads weren’t bad. Menu is small and not a lot to choose from. Definitely should introduce better menu items. I understand it’s a sports grill, but some of the music is distasteful especially since it seems like a family establishment. Definitely will not be returning."

"I've heard tailgaters has New Management. My last visit there was pretty good. A plan on going back. As in the past it felt like playing the lottery with my food. You never knew what quality of service or food you were getting. I hope they have these problems. I love the gatorwraps in all the years I've been going to this place that is the only thing I've ever ever ordered. I've been told the rest of their food is good. The appetizers I have shared were quite tasty. The major problem I have with this location is it is in Locust. Hence the atmosphere problem. I grew up there and I do not miss it. But the food I eat at tailgaters will bring me back as long as they keep offering the gator app and acceptable and keep the quality consistent. I only point these things out because they have been shaky in the past. I'm not a hundred percent sure that I should put my finger on the problems that I understand. But here goes... In the past at least, the staff that I have come in contact with often do not seem to fully understand what's going on. They're misinformed or under informed. I hope the new management can fix this."

"First time going here, I called in a Togo order. Upon arrival I paid in cash, total was $12.70 gave $15.00 was asked if I wanted my change, yes I do. I do tip on Togo orders by not 20%. I can only assume she didn’t like that as when she brought my change she pointed to my order and said “that’s your order over there” rather than making an effort to get it for me. I placed a tip on the counter but immediately picked it back up and I’m glad I did as there were no utensils nor napkins supplied with my order. Now for the food…… I ordered the breaded buffalo chicken sandwich with a side of potato salad. The sandwich did not resemble a buffalo chicken sandwich I’d ever seen before and it was nothing short or disgusting. The bun was so stale that when playing rock paper scissors with my kids I grabbed the bun and broke the rock. While this was my first visit to this establishment it is also my last. Buffalo sauce on Dino nuggets at home is better."

"Same Tailgators minus a divider wall when you first go inside. Oh & the servers seem to be different too (one step away from Hooters outfits) but def the cooter shorts & tight tops for now. Unfortunately, this visit wasn't different from most others. Little to no service. Food was okay, though, not a lot of variety. I did try the S&P Talpia basket and thought it was great. When we first entered, the hostess didn't acknowledge us with even an apologetic smile as she seemed to be helping go over the entire menu with someone by phone. After a while, our server came saying she could seat us since she'd be our waitress. We appreciated that. (We had already decided before going in on how much we'd tolerate THIS time before we'd just leave... as we go about once every 6-18mos now). She took our order and brought our tea & water. She brought our food, and until she showed back up with our bill, no one checked on us. No drink refill, no offer of dessert, no offer of to-go cups or a box. She came back by to grab the bill/card, and as she rushed away again, we had to call out to her requesting a to-go box. This was between 3-4p on a Sat. I saw 2 other tables with different servers, so I'm not sure why the struggle."
