Stats Bar and Grill- Willowbrook

Johann Fridriksson 1 MINUTE AGO New place, new place that I never knew about. @stats a place I thought was closed. Called and they were open. The Cuban without pickle I guess is a brazilian? Would have liked more of the mustard but sandwich a as good. Even a panini mark on it. That I love. Prob try again. #ilovemylunch #thecuban #cuban #nopickle #statsbarwillowbrook

Came here totally out of the blue for lunch before fly time back to Denver. Friday afternoon around two and not many people here. The ambiance is relaxing and low lighting with a hint of upscale. The 13 TVs allow viewing from most sitting spots. Sports bar for sure. The service was swift and excellent, mind you it was not busy, but the waiter was pretty cool to talk with. The surprise for me was the quality of what I ordered. Went with the Tenderloin Caprese. The meat was cooked very nicely at my medium. The cheese was ample and great tasting Caprese with a drizzle of pesto. The Tomato slices were grilled nicely and had more pesto. A lot of spinach which tasted equally nice and a great compliment. Really good dish. A touch of salt perhaps but I didn't do it. Juicy, tasty,

First off, we had 35 people. They did an awesome job accommodating our hockey team. A+ for that. The servers were awesome. The food came out as it was ready, which is preferred when you have that many people. The reason for the 3 stars was the food portion size and quality vs the price. Examples poutine fries were just slightly larger than my fist and the sauce was dry. I got the Cubano sandwich and it was small with a small portion of fries. The bill was too expensive for what we got. I don’t think group size would affect that.

Made a stop at the local sports bar, midweek, in the rain, so I can't comment on the crowd. But if one has never tried a Reuben stuffed into an egg roll, this is an unique item. There is also a Tex mex style egg roll called Cabo San Lucas, which looks interesting, however I couldn't try it. These are good spins off the more traditional pizza rolls. Watch out though, these are very filling. Wings were freshly prepared, not double fried like chain restaurants. The bar is fully stocked and I can imagine how the place would be like during the playoffs.

Sports bar type atmosphere with a small outside patio, not to mention lots of new gaming machines. The menu has a little of everything including gluten free options, which is great! The bartenders and waitresses seem helpful.
