★★★★★ 5.0 Russ Dale · Jul 2025

I must tell you that the reverse nachos are addicting. The ability to add whatever toppings and ingredients you want right in front of you, is amazing. The vibe is calming, sometimes the music is loud - which is okay. The staff are always attentive, friendly and helpful. Speaking to the staff is like speaking to old friends, as if you've known them for years. They are real people. Diverse. Lovely. I support this local business and I'm glad it is in my neighborhood.

Terrible tacos. Cold, crumbly tortillas that couldn't be lifted. They fell apart instantly, and had to be eaten like a bowl. Never wasting my money on a meal here again.

I was literally sent 100% raw steak, I’m in disbelief… you guys can kill someone like this. And good luck getting a human on the phone, have to wait until Monday to contact corporate. Be careful and check your food if ordering from here.

I am not usually a fan of Illegal Pete’s but I am completely impressed by this location. First off, the vibe and atmosphere of this place is absolutely on point, especially in the hot 70 degree weather. The colors pop and would’ve the perfect hangout spot for me in college. I greatly appreciate the amount of outdoor and indoor seating for Covid. Also, I was a huge fan of the happy hour special. I found myself enjoying more of the beer since there was so many discounts and combos. The bar is amazing and perfect for the weather. Although, I will admit, the service was a bit off. I am not a huge fan of the QR code system since it does not feature the entire menu but I understand the limitations. It was super busy when I went and it made it harder to order food. But that’s not the fault of
