On my first and probably last visit I was immediately disappointed. Pretty small space with weird seating for dining in. I decided to order a drink while I wait for takeout food and was surprised at the bill- there are upcharges for to-go packaging which is not stated anywhere visible, and as you can see from my pictures, I got charged more for a drink than the menu price. But the worst part was that the bartender lied about it. She said it was the after tax price when you can clearly see the added tax at the very bottom which is for everything together and every other item was the same as on the menu. I'm too anxious to say anything in person, so I just have to say it here... I don't trust this place, bottom line. Show less

Save your quarters and your beer money for somewhere more deserving. This ain't it, and you'd be happier elsewhere. My mom and I came in to check the place out, and we were made to feel unwelcome from the start. Between the blasé, inattentive service at the bar and the tall, imposing man that ran ... Read more

Save your quarters and your beer money for somewhere more deserving. This ain't it, and you'd be happier elsewhere. My mom and I came in to check the place out, and we were made to feel unwelcome from the start. Between the blasé, inattentive service at the bar and the tall, imposing man that ran my mom and I out of the pinball area -- it was a waste of time and money. The "food truck" area (a poorly sectioned off kitchen in the middle of the floor) was marked as being closed, but plenty of people were milling around in the kitchen back there. That's not to mention the ramshackle attempt at "renovating" the venue, which was poorly thought out and just as poorly funded. It's bad, y'all. To the owners: put some actual effort into this place.

I haven’t been this impressed with an owner in a long time. I’m a gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian. This makes going out difficult. Well let me share with you that Frederick was soooo helpful even delighted to help me create an amazing order. We built jackfruit tacos. JACKFRUIT! It’s a meat substitute but rarely available in restaurants. Those tacos were amazing. Frederick is very kind and funny. I had a wonderful experience thanks to him. Plus he’s a pinball wizard from 1990. Note his trophy in the pic. If you have any dietary restrictions, vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free, I bet they’d even do sugar free if you need, I highly recommend Bang Back as your go to place. Best tacos I’ve ever had and affordable to top it off. My friend had the bacon buffalo chicken wrap and said it was also very good. We were impressed. Feel free to play a game of pinball when you’re done your meal and there’s a dart room in the back. Show less

Was not that crowded - waited way too long for a simple PBR. Ordered two taco's and I was literally one of the only people eating and waited for almost 20 minutes.

Wow. The homemade wing sauces and the wings are great. The Five Points Burger Buster…a monster. Also, the meat was cooked perfectly for me (pink in the middle). Recommended. That was sometime ago.

Had to come here to share my recent experience with this establishment. The bartender Jeff was extremely kind and accommodating towards us during our visit. He went above and beyond and helped my disabled elderly mother eat her “burger buster” (delicious by the way), by feeding it to her as a mama bird would. Amazing amazing service thank you for your hospitality Jeff! Also Mia and Sasha also assisted her the same way with nana’s rumpleminze shots. Exceptional staff, restrooms were clean, and my mother and the rest of my family left happy and cannot wait to come back! (We were also invited to the back for darts and bean bag chair hang out but we had to rain check!) Show less

Honestly, if I could have, I would have only deducted half a star because the food makes up for the lack of vanilla vodka. I had the BLT and it comes with homemade chips. Both were out of this world. The pinball games were super fun and the vibe at the bar was really cool. Bartenders were very nice and fast. We tend to visit during happy hour and the prices are great.
