Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
The food here is good, and the service is usually fine (sometimes can be slow when they are busy). Its close to my house to come watch football and not as noisy as some sports bars. Where it all goes downhill is how hot they keep it inside. It was 80-85° last time I was here and I was sweating through the whole football game. My friend (who usually runs cold and who also does hot yoga) was also sweating. We didn't bother to complain because we already know what the answer is, but we did overhear other people complaining about how hot it was. The staff will just insist "the air is already on". Its something I have reached out to the company about before, hoping to resolve the issue so we can still enjoy going there in the Summer. But I got the same response, that they do run the air and their AC bill is very expensive. However, as someone who personally works for an HVAC company, I can tell you that if you are running your air and it's only cooling down to 80°, your AC is NOT working properly. After eating here my friend and I had to go into walmart to cool down, where the AC was working great. Selmas has the potential to be a 5 star place, but they certainly would need to get the establishment to a decent temperature.
I got a takeout, it was a Chicago style pizza. Overall experience is very good but the pizza wasn’t that good. It was very salty. Maybe it’s the type of pizza I chose, idk. The restaurant was packed so looks like a lot of people like it. It’s not very cheap either, so I don’t think it’s going to become a to go pizza takeout for me.
$4 beer, $4 soup and a $14 Calzone with 2 toppings. I really liked the Honey Blonde House Brew and the soup was very good - with the exception that it should be served with some type of bread. The bar tender asked me right away if I wanted a dinner roll and after the first was done I asked for another which was not an issue. Overall the place has a great atmosphere, low playing current and past rock music from various time periods. The tables are clean, the people are friendly, the waiters, servers and hosts are on point and I will be back. Unless my Calzone fails, they earned 4 stars. They lost 1 point because I was asked to wait for the manager to place my order at the restaurant and they never came. When I walked over to the bar, they gave me service right away.
Got three takeaway pizzas. Took awhile to be greeted when we walked in. Waited almost an hour for them to be done and then got completely ignored by all staff while waiting by the door, which added another 10 minutes. Pizza was good but not sure if it was worth the wait.
Our 1st visit. I searched for a great place to find Chicago deep dish pizza. The food was quick and delicious, and the portions were very generous. The atmosphere was relaxing and perfect for a date with the husband. ❤️
