Food quality has gone down the last few times we have been there. Order appetizers 1st and it comes out the same time as food. Need to go back the old way food was better. Service is always good. Bring back The other cook.

This place was racist. I seen teenagers, kids, families and out of no where I was ID for trying to place a to go order for chicken wings. Im over the age of 21 but mind you I wasn't trying to consume or even order any alcoholic beverages what so ever. NOT recommended. I dont see teens or kids being ID to eat.. so why would my husband and I need to show ID for chicken wings? Racism. Calling it what it is.

So let me say that the wings & sauce selections are both excellent. You can choose boneless, fried bone in & also grilled bone in. My wife got fried; I got grilled. both were done excellently. The staff were also pretty nice. As for the other bar customers......I'll just leave it at that.

From the wings to pizza to the rivals burger which I get 100% of the time as it's made perfect every time, to quality beers on tap, I have not gone wrong. They support local organizations which is to be recognized as well. Mike will be missed.

Great atmosphere. The staff is very friendly. The beers are cold. We had the grilled chicken wings well done with two different dry rubs both of which were great . The celery and carrots were old my celery was black in the middle and I threw it out they probably shouldn't have served us that but everything else was great. I would come here again.

If I could leave a review with 0 stars, I would.
Today, I have experienced something that my team and I would have never expected! My team and I arrived here to play beach volleyball in their backyard area. When we arrived, we walked through the bar and straight into the back area where the volleyball courts are located. We were there to play our beach volleyball game and grab some food and enjoy our Wednesday evening. However, I along with my family were ID'd for the first time here randomly. We politely asked why we were being carded when we have never before and the woman working explained that we could not be there unless we were 21 or with our parents if we were under drinking age. Since my sister (who I am the guardian of) is 18 and not of drinking age, she asked that she leaves the bar. I fully understand that 21 is the drinking age and you cannot be sitting at the bar or consuming alcohol under the age but we were not doing that. I would like to highlight that there are literal toddlers and children running around their back area with no problem during these games so I was a bit confused! When I asked why she couldn't stay like the kids, she told me she couldn't be there because I am not her "parent"?? She got fed up with us and directed to the owner when we kept asking questions. & When we were directed to the owner, he told us that we could stay as long as we were okay with paying his "ticket" that he would get if a cop walked in. Everything was fine until I told him that his policy was "misleading." He obviously did not like that a woman was giving him constructive criticism on his business because he stepped IN MY FACE and yelled at me because his "policies" aren't "misleading", according to him. I say that because there are literal children there and he has no way of proving that these children belong to their said "parents" & I also say this because I was not carded here last week when I played either. I even asked my teams and other customers and they have never been questioned about their guests EVER! Obviously, he is not a real businessman because that is not how you handle situations but I get it.. I wouldn't want a minority woman telling me that my business strategies suck!! If we were ID'd at DOOR like normal bars or ID'd every time we come, I would have had no problem with leaving :) Also, if he was respectful to his customers and WOMEN, I would have been perfectly fine as well but I know that's hard for boys :) However, it was the exact opposite, and I highly do not recommend if you are a woman, minority or a customer that doesn't take b.s.!

Seen from the freeway, but just enough off the beaten bath of highway 50, Rivals is a great spot to stop in for beer and a bite. The interior is pretty with lots of natural wood, a unique and stylish long bar, warm lighting and a variety of seating options. The multiple sets of rowed tappers on the ceiling make for fun and creative decor, so don't forget to look up!
Rivals has a nice menu, full bar and a great selection of beers. I had the Downeast Blackberry Cider, at the recommendation of the owner who just happened to be sitting at the bar with us, and it was INCREDIBLE! If you are a fan of ciders, it's a must try. The subtle tartness was smooth, refreshing and delicious. For dinner, my husband ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and I opted for the Grilled Chicken Wings with Stingin' Honey Garlic Sauce. The bun on the Cheesesteak was soft but not soggy, the sliced beef was tender and pulled apart nicely, and the onions and green peppers were in perfect balance, adding a nice but not overwhelming flavor to the sandwich. My chicken wings were fantastic, and while the sauce was absolutely delicious I did not find it particularly "stingin." Which makes it perfect for those who want only a little kick.
One of the girls working the bar was a little slow, but she was friendly and treated us well. It was great to talk to the owner and get his take on menu items, beer selections and general information about the restaurant. The only "issue" I had was the women's bathroom. Although clean, one of the two stalls is incredibly small. Even being petite, I found myself feeling quite confined once I shut the door.
Rivals was described to me as a place for attorneys (because it's only 15 minutes from the courthouse) and townies, with great wings and very good food. Very true. While there are plenty of options in Kenosha, especially along the main strip, this place is worth a try. Again and again.

We were looking for a good burger and beer in the area and didn't want to go to any of the chain places - Rivals fit the bill perfectly. Best part was the great staff. To bad I didn't catch their names as I would like to call them out for great service.

Not sure what the deal was, but sat with our friends (another couple) we had decided to stop and try out a local place.
We told the waitress it would be two checks , She THEN TOLD US SHE NEEDED "A CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD to put on file and it makes it easier to do two separate bills"
I said we're paying cash and said I'll still need a card to do the order."
So, I hope this Owner of this place can make enough money off the locals, because that's all you're going to see.
Not worth the chance of credit or debit card theft and the excuse was lame.
I would drive by this place and avoid an issue or future card theft.

Food was great! Service was eh...server kept forgetting about us. Had to wait for refills and took forever to get our bill. They nickel and dime you for everything though. A lot of places now charge extra for credit cards, so I understand that one. But we were charged extra for having separate tabs? The POS System could not make that process any easier so not sure why they charge for that. Leaves a bad impression (even though it was only a small amount). Seems like a family owned business, but wish they treated guests like family! Nice atmosphere for dinner or drinks.

Stopped here for the first time on the way home from O'Hare. The waitress/bartender immediately came over for drink orders. I had lemonade; husband had Mello Yello (Coke products, no Mountain Dew). They came in small pitchers rather than glasses so we definitely didn't need to ask for refills. We both ordered cheeseburgers. They were half pound patties, cooked perfectly, with melted cheese of our choice, lettuce, tomato, and onion slice, served on a large bakery bun with hand-cut fries. Service was fast, food was delicious, and the prices were excellent. We'll be back if ever in the area.
