While it may not seem like there’s anything particularly spectacular about burgers and fries, Val’s has been proving that sentiment wrong for many decades.

Ultimate Sports Bar and Grill, United States
- visitgreaterstcloud
While the food at the Ultimate Sports Bar is really delicious, the atmosphere is what really sets this place apart. The former building burnt down in 2020, which gave the owner an opportunity to make his dream a reality. And boy is it a dream! This spacious, open sports bar has over 75+ TVs for watching all kinds of sports, axe throwing lanes, arcade games, two bars, and a massive outdoor space with a stage for live music. Start with an order of ultimate poutine, followed by a delicious mac attack burger, and don’t forget to indulge in a 32oz blended drink or a tower of tap beer – if you have room!
