    Visited last night for wing night.  Generally the wings were pretty good, but it's clear the kitchen was really backed up b/c it took a while to get the wings and when they came the order wasn't accurate.  This really wasn't an issue.  One person ordered fish tacos - they were also decent (not great, not terrible).  When we got our bill we were a little ticked they charged us $1/ranch or blue cheese without asking how much we needed - she brought 4 dressings and we only used 2.  

    The real issue was the patio - the patio is beautiful but is a haven for smokers.  Clearly the word is out that smoking is a thing on their back patio because it was rampant.  It kind of bugged me when I asked the server about smoking on a patio and she acted like it was totally normal - rather than offering to move us to another table or something.  We were planted next to a literal chain smoker (among several other tables smoking as well)!

    Overall - it doesn't seem normal to have a smoking section at a restaurant anymore, but if you're going to have smokers and non-smokers sit together you should give non-smoking guests a heads up before seating.

    Some people will read this and say "Calm down!  This is a biker bar!  Not, a family restaurant!" - I'd probably agree now...

    First and foremost...the Staff is amazing here.
    We have been coming to this restaurant for years. The menu keeps changing and getting more expensive. Would love to see a some healthier fair on the menu. When ordering an entrée it would be great if we could order a small side salad or something not fried like fries and tater tots without a mark up.
    Tuesday night Trivia is so loud we can't ever visit.
    Just tiny info to improve.

    Platte River is the best bar to come to for big *ss decks! I love this place for the "come as you are" style of dress, for the live music and for the baller margaritas! If you need a fun day lace to hang, this is your spot! Try the sopapilla  fries! Yum!

    Heads up! If you're a smoker you'll love the patio area where it appears you can smoke cigars, cigarettes, whatever right at your table! As a non smoker that was not a bonus but I know it is for some. Typical bar food with a relaxed feel- good music and friendly staff. Has a masculine feel about it and wearing slacks is overdressed for this place. Think rock and roll t shirt and denim- throw in some leather if you like :)
