If you are looking for a chill, relaxing, no-stress bar with delicious food and affordable pricing, Bambi Bar is perfect for you. My wife and I enjoyed Boneless Chicken Wings, a Southwestern Bambi Burger, and a basket of freshly made Beer-Battered Onion Rings. We ordered to-go for lunch, and it was promptly ready in 15 minutes. The Boneless Wings were not overly crispy, and had a tender juicy center. It's a perfect compliment for their barbecue sauce. Moving on to the burger, wow! I was surprised by the size. The Burger was covered in pepper jack cheese and more of those delectable, fresh, crispy onion rings. I could not eat the whole thing. You must stop by and try their onion rings and burgers, as they are some of the best I've had. 5/5.

Local bar voted the best dive bar 2021. Now, the question I have is, did it lose its charm? Nope, as far as local bars go, Bambi's is the place to go. Great place for lunch. The food is great. I had the Bambi Burger (described by a friend as "The home wrecker" and onion rings. Beer was cold, and the service was so friendly. You need to give Bambi's a try.

Three of us stopped here for lunch. We all got cheeseburgers. The burgers are like homemade - except not dry :). The highlight for me was the slaw. It had a 'that's different' taste that became a 'that's really good' taste by the end. The staff was friendly.

Bambi bar had been around forever, so it was about time I went to have my first Bambi burger. I went with the #2 which came with fries. The burger was a half pound behemoth, cooked to a nice medium. It was tasty, as were the fries, and the onion rings are worth trying too. Definitely fits the bill of an old dive bar, with sticky floors intact. Service was friendly.

I had a great time at Bambi Bar. My server Bella was very attentive, she kept my drink full and got my food out fast even though they were very busy. She recommended that I try the Mushroom Swiss burger. It was a great burger. I also had a chili cheese dog. 10/10 experience. I will be coming back often.

Great little place to grab a bite to eat, watch sports and have a drink. The burger, fried mushrooms and fries were wonderful.

Come here for an awesome classic burger. Some other burger spots in town have more creative flavor options, but this is one of the cleanest/freshest I've had in a long time. The beef is high quality, and I didn't feel "gross full" like I do with some other burgers. We will be back.
