Verdict: Our expert take on The Four Deuces
Food (7.1 out of 10)
mentioned by 48% of the guests
Lets talk about the food! Its clear guests are generally pleased, with a solid score of 7.1 and customer satisfaction soaring at 85%. Many have highlighted delicious items like the crispy curry fries, the tasty duck egg, and satisfying dishes such as the All Day and Cali Club.
With 17 positive remarks out of 20 total, theres definitely some good stuff cooking. However, its not entirely perfect. A couple of comments, just 2 out of 20, did express some general disappointment with the food itself, and there was a specific mention about limited options for vegetarians.
While these are few, it's something to keep in mind, especially if you have particular dietary needs.

If youre heading out and looking for specific, well-regarded dishes like their curry fries or breakfast items, youll likely be happy. However, if you're a vegetarian or expect a broad, universally praised menu, you might want to check the options beforehand.
Service (7.5 out of 10)
mentioned by 40% of the guests
When it comes to service, this spot generally hits a good note! With a score of 7.5 and customer satisfaction at 70.6%, its clear that most folks have a positive experience. Many of the 12 positive comments out of 17 total remarks highlight the "staff" and "exceptional service, " often praising "Betty, the bartender" for her "great energy" and the "friendly bartenders" who make you feel at home.
However, its not all sunshine and rainbows, as 4 negative comments point out some serious issues. One particularly troubling incident involved a lady bar tender using racial slurs, which was reportedly handled poorly with just a free drink. While not widespread, these instances suggest that service can sometimes fall short of expectations, moving from good to quite disappointing.

Value (5.6 out of 10)

Many appreciate the decent price points, especially for drinks, and the happy hour deals, based on 5 positive remarks.
Youll often hear praise for the price, good price, happy hour, and drink prices making your wallet happy. However, its not all sunshine and savings.

Finding a spot can be quite difficult, which definitely detracts from the overall experience, even if the prices inside are good.

Ultimate Party Bar with Family Feel!
My experience at this place was fantastic! It's the ultimate party bar with great drinks, a pool table, darts, and a digital jukebox. The seating options are excellent, with both indoor and outdoor seating available.
What truly stood out was the staff, who made me feel like family. The service was rated 5/5, there was no wait time, and the atmosphere was a perfect 5/5. While the noise level was loud, it was still possible to hold a conversation.

Racist incident and poor service
My experience at this restaurant was marred by a racist incident involving one of the lady bartenders who used racial slurs against my friend. The establishment's attempt to compensate with a free drink was inadequate. While Marcus was acceptable, the overall crowd consisted mainly of old white men.
The atmosphere and service were rated very low (1/5), and the food also received a low rating (1/5). It was very loud, making conversation difficult, and parking was unavailable and difficult to find. I would not recommend this place for vegetarians.
