NBC Sports Bar & Grill

We walked in and we seated immediately.

It was packed and service was good, no complaints.

Looks purty darn yummy! Hoping to give it try while we're in town, but afraid our schedule is way too packed already. (Plus, going club at HRH for our first time, so we'll see how that works out.)

We were thinking about eating dinner here the day we go into the parks just to see Mannheim Steamroller. It looks like they give you a ton of food. 1/2 pound burgers!

Just walked by there after HHN and they are working big time there (wiring outside screen and I believe balcony). Yes, 2am working.

Food seems a little pricey, but it looks delicious!

Is there a way to make reservations?

I am sad to report that those of us looking to this place as our go-to for the NHL are out of luck. We were there the other night, and they do not subscribe to an NHL (or NBA) package. The only games they could show were the Lightning and the NBC Sports national game. Very disappointing, especially given that NASCAR showed any and all NHL games.

Seriously?

Did they give an explanation? WOW!!

Not only will this result in me boycotting this place on my upcoming trip, but it will most likely have an impact on the planning of future Orlando vacations. I'm very disappointed by this. Angry, would be a better word.

Is it possible their subscriptions just aren't active or up and running yet? After all, the grand opening isn't technically until Friday. It sounds like there's some other unfinished things like the big screen outside that they are working towards finishing up before the grand opening. I might check back on this at some point - between the start of hockey season and them just opening, I'm thinking it's possible it just hasn't been implemented yet. Would be hard to believe a sports bar wouldn't have these things!

That looks sweet.

Does anyone know when they will be open for lunch? Would love to catch part of the game next Saturday afternoon!

Here is an overview video I shot this past weekend. It shows the new signage at the top of the restaurant that has been added since the pictures above were taken. Enjoy!

Anyone able to confirm whether they have added the NHL Center Ice package?

Although the place looks fantastic, it's pretty much useless to me as a sports bar if the don't have NHL Center Ice.

Did you get a chance to check this place out?

Did you get a chance to check this place out?

Yes! And thanks for the reminder... I meant to come back and post! We had dinner there this past Thursday. Got there around 6pm, just as hoards of people were making there way to HHN. The place was comfortably full but we did not have a wait (2 people). The place itself is impressive - open air kitchen was cool to see, and two nice bars with one larger one downstairs and one upstairs. Only odd thing is that restrooms are only upstairs so if you plan to hang out and drink and you're anything like me, you may want to sit at the bar upstairs! Later at night when temps cooled off, they opened all the garage style doors and it was completely open air. It was nice.

We ordered the chicken nachos as an appetizer which were ok - they used queso sauce and not melted shredded cheese which made some of the chips soggy. Not much chicken on them at all. DH got the pulled pork platter and I got the Smokehouse Stack burger. DH enjoyed his but wished the menu had a pork/brisket combo platter. The one they did have came with ribs which he didn't want to deal with. Mine was also good but I did not care for the gouda cheese and wished I had asked for american or cheddar. It also had only a tiny bit of pork and brisket on it. For both of ours, the BBQ sauce came on the side. DH's corn muffin was good (I ate it) and I upgraded my fries to parmesan fries for an extra $2 but they were just ok. Probably wouldn't upgrade next time. Service was good, no issues there. I did overhear people at the table next to us complaining to a manager that his burger was under cooked and he was given fries instead of tots. So possibly still working out some kinks.

We came back around 9pm to try and sit at the bar to catch some of Thursday night football, but both bars were full so we didn't stay. Ended up at Margaritaville. They were showing the football game on all the TVs, and that is produced by CBS. I know there was some speculation they'd only show NBC Sports but that's not the case. Can't confirm, though, if they have the NFL ticket for Sundays. The large screen outside is also now fully functional.

Does anyone know when they will start taking reservations? Wanting to make some for Super Bowl Sunday when we will be there.

 

[Tay N Evie's Mom]

Love to know about reservations too. We're a party of 9, so waiting without a reservation usually takes a really long time.

 

[tikkipoo]

Any word on this restaurant taking reservations yet?
