MARIO'S SPORTS BAR & GRILL – Restaurant

A family-run sports bar in the Grande Oak Shoppes that opens at seven in the morning, which tells you it is as much a breakfast counter as a game-day room. Eggs Benedict, biscuits and gravy, Belgian waffles and Nutella fruit pancakes give way later to Philly cheesesteaks, fish and chips, broiled haddock, steak fajita wraps and fettuccine alfredo. Karaoke on Fridays, live music Saturdays, SINGO on Tuesdays. Regulars talk about the service as much as the plates, and Mario is usually somewhere on the floor. Open until 2am on weekends.
