Awful service

by KMoonem at Citysearch

The waitress serving us had the worst attitude. She was very rude, forgot what we had ordered (came back twice), took a near 20 minutes for us to get our drinks. After 30 minutes we had enough and decided to leave.... fast food may have been a better choice. This incident has left a bad taste in my mouth and I will not revisit the Lizard on Coventry.

  • Cons: Absolutely awful servers

Excellent atmosphere

I have visited only this branch of Winking Lizard and I absolutely loved it!! Great atmosphere and good seating area. You can get a vast variety of beer and they are famous for their beer world tour. They have a pretty good happy hour too. Every month they have the "beer of the month" and often you get to keep the glass. I highly recomment this pub for some good times with your friends!

Consistently Enjoyable

by goindnz at Citysearch

What's not to like? Whether you're meeting up with friends for food and drinks after your softball game or having lunch with co-workers, "The Lizard" is always a hit. Their ribs (and signature BBQ sauce) are excellent. But so are their burgers, wraps, appetizers, salads...everything. If you're a beer drinker you can choose from over 100 beers around the world. If not, their "home brewed" root beer is also very good. Their steak fries are better with their BBQ sauce than catsup. Staff and atmosphere is laid back and casual. Absolutely non-pretentious. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy!

  • Pros: 7 locations, Good Food, Reasonable Prices
  • Cons: None
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

yay!

The Lizard rules. It's got at least a hundred different kinds of beer, great food (sandwiches, wings, etc. Things that go with beer, of course) and the service is usually prompt (unless you're there on a busy weekend night). The place even has its own real live lizard mascot, which is usually sleeping as people walk by to be seated.

Definitely check the place out for their wide variety of beers, and stay for the tasty appetizers and sandwiches.

  • Pros: tasty, laid-back, a real live lizard!
  • Cons: busy on weekends, little free parking, PM: no non-smoking

Scrum-dilly!!!

by jenramos at Citysearch

The Winking Lizard is my favorite place to go when I am visiting friends in the area. The food is great and very affordable and the beer selection is incredible. If you are looking for a quiet place to eat, don't go here - the place is always packed and they have televisions everywhere for game-watching. But if you are looking for a lively establishment with a variety of good eats, The Winking Lizard is the place to be!

  • Pros: Inexpensive, Good Food & Drinks, Lively Atmosphere
  • Cons: Crowded, Always ID'd at door, No under 18 after 5
