The bar and grill concept is a tired fad that most chains fail at miserably. Predictable menus, sterile service, and gaudy decor translates into overpriced mediocrity. Bongo's old school beach bar atmosphere is a refreshing oasis in the midst of the restaurant wars. The menu is a binder full of pub favorites with manly portions and one-of-a-kind drink options. Couple that with the unmatched hospitality courtesy of co-owners Melinda and Doug along with multiple flat screens to satisfy your hunger for sports, and a buffet of event options including poker night, comedy night, and karaoke and you have a recipe for a one-of-a-kind locals only pub. I prefer the burgers as well as Dave's famous weekend breakfasts including biscuits and gravy and fried potatoes. The New Year's Eve special supper of prime rib was fantastic. Give Bongo's a try!
Pros: ambience, flat screens, food and portions, ultra-friendly owners
Cons: hard on the waist line
