Thunderbird Tavern

I had the pleasure of visiting Rays Thunderbird Tavern recently and I must say, it was a delightful experience. Jacob, our server, provided exceptional and attentive service throughout our visit. It was evident that the tavern had recently reopened after facing some challenges related to business ownership, but they have truly managed to turn things around.

One of the highlights of Rays Thunderbird Tavern is their revamped menu, which now includes a variety of finger foods. While these options were delicious, I would suggest adding some healthier choices to cater to a wider range of preferences. Nonetheless, the prices at this establishment are incredibly competitive, especially when it comes to their drinks. I was pleasantly surprised to find that a Bud-Light was priced at just $2.75, even outside of happy hour.

For my meal, I ordered the chicken tenders, which came with a side of delicious fries. I expected the typical dry and thin bar food, but to my delight, the chicken tenders were meaty and moist. The seasoning was just right, not overly salted. My only recommendation would be to serve a few ounces more of sauce or provide an extra container, as the tenders would benefit from a little more sauciness.

In addition to its other offerings, Rays Thunderbird Tavern boasts several pool tables and a couple of arcade games. This adds an extra layer of entertainment for those looking to have some fun while enjoying their time at the tavern.

If you're a fan of karaoke, you're in luck! Fridays at Rays Thunderbird Tavern are dedicated to karaoke nights, where you can showcase your singing skills or cheer on your friends as they take the stage. It's a fantastic opportunity to let loose and have a blast with fellow patrons.

On Saturdays, the tavern takes it up a notch with a live DJ starting around seven in the evening. The energetic beats and lively atmosphere make for a memorable night out. Whether you're dancing the night away or simply enjoying the music, the live DJ adds an extra touch of excitement to your weekend.

With pool tables, arcade games, karaoke, and a live DJ, Rays Thunderbird Tavern truly has something for everyone. It's the perfect place to unwind, have some fun, and create lasting memories with friends. So, gather your crew and head over to the tavern for an unforgettable evening of entertainment.

Opportunity: alternative food options

The meat lover’s pizza was the perfect thin crust. Quality meat and crispy thin crust 10/10 recommend you try it. Friendly staff.

Came by after seeing an episode of Bar Rescue on this place. Really good service and cold beers, I had left my bike key on so it was dead, the owner came out and find jumper cables for us. Helped is hook it up and get started. A really nice guy and could be a fun spot. Big enough for a large party.

Seriously good pizza. It's thin crust fyi. But there is something about their sauce that makes it very tasty. I'm from NY and I keep going back! It's across from Ford plant and they allow smoking so I wouldn't really call it kid friendly. Nice size bar and pool tables.

My first time here I hoped the food would be good- it was beyond good, it was amazing. The pretzel bites and mushrooms are to kill for! And Jessica had the best $3 shots

Stopped in to check it out, very clean and professional! Met the new owner she had told us they had been doing a huge overhaul on the place. It looked really good! Can't wait to visit again!

The bartender was very nice and accommodating. Very Chill and diverse atmosphere. I enjoyed my visit and the drinks are stiff! The food is great as well! 😋 I've been there on the occasion and have Always had a great experience! 😊

Such a nice restaurant and bar, located across from the Ford plant. Their daytime bartender, Angie, is very knowledgeable, attentive oh, and has personality Plus. The service is fast, and their food is really good. They bring in a good crowd from the Ford plant. I will continue to go back because of these reasons, and because the bar wear of there that I used to frequent, JC's, I will no longer go to. Reasons due to being unsafe for women, their bias, bigotry & mean girl attitudes & poor management.

Amazing service hands down Jessica was my bartender my glass stayed full, and the drinks were the best ive ever Myshaela made me a meet lovers that made you fill as if you were in NY had am from Florida travel all over wile in town visited several bars but this experience left me hooked Myshaelah ma

I just had the pattimelt, and it was great. I cook and don't believe I could have done better. Ground beef is fresh daily. This is not just a bar, food is great too.

My experiences here as a regular is always enjoyable. It's a small cozy bar with pool and pin ball machines available. The bartenders can get busy during certain times of the day due to ford employees, who are regulars for takeout. The thunder burger(double mushroom swiss) or double bacon cheeseburger are my recommendations. The fried tacos and chicken street tacos are a close second. As with any place, patience is a virtue. Consider the situation, act accordingly when necessary. Don, Angie, Star, Janice, Lauren, thanks for making me feel welcome

Really fun joint with great food! The owner is super cool and sat with us for a while. Highly recommended

Absolutely LOVE this bar. Amber is by far the best bartender. She takes great care of the guest. And keeps the facility clean.
Love the atmosphere.

All I have to say is , get the thunder burger 😅😩💜

Great pit stop or destination. One of my many favorites in the area. Cold beer, food, pool, and you can smoke a cig while doing so if you want.

Had a very good time wonderful food amazing live music and good vibes all around even from the staff they have bingo on Mondays always something fun to do through out the week!!

The owners are amazing. Breauna was amazing! Come in here!! They are doing amazing! Super great people!

Love the night time staff! Star is the best bartender around! She is fun, and makes the atmosphere that much more enjoyable!

Great place totally different awesome stuff and I told them if they ever need tires and they are in South Florida area I'm located in Hudson Florida it will give them the friends and family discount like they gave me they treated Black dog tire service like family

Visiting from Texas! Had to stop by since it was on Bar Rescue. I liked it! The new atmosphere is very nice and seems like everyone is much happier now.
