My friend raved about the lime beef dish here and it was not over-rated at all. Very fresh and even though it could stand alone with the sauce, the fish sauce dip that came along with it kicked it up a notch especially in terms of spiciness. Jim, the bartender told me it was going to be a bit of a wait(appreciate the heads up) so we had a choice whether or not to order food. Besides the lime beef, we also ordered the salt&pepper squid and vermicelli with chicken and pork. I’ll admit I had very big hesitations on ordering regular food since this was a bar, but they delivered. The chicken in the vermicelli dish was slightly salty if you ate it by itself, but it was perfect with the noodles, fresh veggies, and spicyass fish sauce. The squid was crunchy and very flavorful and I didn’t get a hint of MSG(I could be wrong about the MSG). As a bonus, they had about a dozen beers on tap so you got drink options as well. Loved it and will be back. It’s 7:30am and I’m already having lime beef cravings.

Took three of my kids for dinner and had a great time. I would have liked to teach my kids to play pool but unfortunately they were not allowed on that side — great food & service — prepare for the wait tho

Had lunch here mid day around 1pm. There were a few patrons playing video poker and a few people at the bar. There was a female bartender/waitress. She made a very nice drink. She was very accommodating. When it came to ordering lunch I had a noodle bowl with pork. The vegetables were fresh, the pork had great flavor and the noodles were not over cooked. The sauce they gave you was flavorful, spicy but not in a wow that’s burning my mouth sort of way but instead a wow that’s really flavorful and tasty. Food came in a reasonable time. I hope my next visit is as nice.

Bar is wide open and very similar to the crowd at the bar next door. Has pool tables and the outer se crowd. Just not my scene

I used their chicken strips basket as my profile picture. Its a family owned business with consistently good food and stiff genuinely liqoured drinks. This is probably my 4+ visit and everything is so tasty. My chicken strips basket with fries is both delectable and affordable just $ 6!!! Comes with a good side of ranch and ketchup. Bar 108 is one of those awesome local gems that is relaxed and not rowdy. I love you 108!

My wife and I had a really fun lunch date here not too long ago. We went back this past weekend with plans to have a beer and some lunch. As most servers do, he took our drink orders and then left. When he brought us our drinks we informed the server we wanted to order lunch(we hadn’t been given menus yet). We were shocked when he reported he didn’t have a cook working. This put us in the awkward situation of not wanting our drinks if we couldn’t also order lunch. My wife didn’t want her drink on an empty stomach and the server just stood there, awkwardly, until she asked him to take it away. Then he stood there awkwardly waiting to see if I was going to drink my beer or not. I felt bad about asking him to take both of them back and just leaving so I drank(quickly) and paid for my beer before leaving to go find somewhere else for lunch. I’m not going to get into the habit of asking if they have a cook working before placing any order with them so I don’t think we’ll be going back.

Love this place!!! Cool vibe. Great bartenders!!! Pool, video poker, and the good is fantastic!!! Tell them your favorite drink and they will make it! And … The prices are very reasonable. I think it’s a great place to chill with friends or a date.

Best Vietnamese chicken wings, especially for a bar! Great place to hang out with your friends for drinks and play pool. Cute female bartenders and great and friendly service. They a patio area, pool tables and ping pong tables. A fireplace in the center of the bar and great Asian food!

I went there one time and I don’t think I will be back. One bar tender/waitress for a packed house of a bunch of young bucks. Took forever to pay and just really wasn’t what I was looking for. The only thing it had going for it was a dance floor.

went to play cards, i been there a couple times but since i don’t drink i didn’t order nothing but water, last night i had some food ordered the fried rice, it was okay it was super salty and smelled funny, i had a friends bite of the Pad Thai and it tasted like dirt not good at all… that’s funny about the tip someone left on this place because i felt that way, the crowd is a little suspect and i think it’s a matter of time till something bad happens… i don’t think i will be coming back…
