I stopped in once in the summer for the first time. I tried the "famous" Gar burger that people talk about. It was just a bun with meat in between. No flavor, just cooked meat. The service was okay, the server was very busy and it was clear that she was overwhelmed. Clearly not her fault, having too many tables to adequately tend to her customers; maybe someone called in. She was nice though. I went back recently and tried the burger again. Same result. No flavor. Service was bad this time and they weren't busy enough to give the server a pass. I'm no chef, but I've had plenty of burgers with flavor. Probably won't go back. Nice location though.

Great little hole in the wall place..the burgers we had were awesome! The menu is small but they have all the bar food necessities and of course a full bar. Very reasonable prices as well

Have had several sandwiches and all good and very big! Last night we had the corned beef and a regular burger with all the trimmings. Lively with lots of patrons enjoying themselves and super nice bartenders! I also like the chicken club which is grilled. My kind of bar! Music, big beer boomba, fresh popcorn… 1/2# Special Gar burger with bacon, mushroom and Swiss… only could eat half! Was medium well done just as I prefer my burger, and was still a two napkin juicy burger. Definitely recommend the old school long bar, tables and picnic tables for a game. They now have full sports package for two years! Don’t miss the very large pool table room (2 tables) with big window street view. We will be back for a game for sure.

We stopped into Gar's (for the first time) for lunch one day while in the area. As we sat down, we got a tray of popcorn! I had the cauliflower/broccoli cheese soup, and it was so good that I still think of it daily. My husband enjoyed his clam chowder soup. The place was clean, the service was friendly and quick, and we loved the nautical decor. Can't wait to go back!

Wow, what a shame. I come here to get a classic burger just like always. Food is great don’t get me wrong. However, prices are way too high, and don’t come with fries. Not to mention the owner is a toolbox and would break the floor if she ate my burger. The pool table policy is disastrous. I can sign up and fight for my country in the military, but I can’t play pool at Gars. This is ridiculous, fix your pool policy.
