      How much is it to use the Karaoke machine?

      A:

      The shows are free to attend but if you want karaoke for a private party, contact YNot entertainment to book. Last time I heard, it $150 plus the cost of paying the KJ. So Just over $200

      Restaurant attached to the Best Western hotel. Quaint 70's style, with great service and ok food.

      Negative: after dinner, I got a serious stomachache. Not sure if it was the Brussels sprouts/bacon or the tuna. Food poisoning was not on my agenda for the evening and I didn't appreciate it...

      Hadn't been here in the 3 years since it's been remodeled. It is way more aesthetically pleasing now. The food is great and they didn't mind my low carb requests. I got two scrambled REAL eggs and 3 perfectly fried bacon strips. The teenager got a yogurt fruit bowl and the granola was served on the side...she has no real complaints other than her usual nagging. Lol. My a la carte selections were a $1 each- def not bad & the granola, yogurt & fruit bowl was just $5. We ended up taking the yogurt Bowl to go and were provided a sturdy little plastic container with a lid and plastic ware without request.

      So you can visualize the restaurant a little bit better you walk in, seat yourself, you can choose from booths, tables, or sitting at the bar. We chose the bar cuz I had a pretty fancy marblesque top. The color scheme is pretty awesome ranges from bright yellow, pale yellow, to tan. It sounds kind of weird but it goes extremely well. One of the cooks in the back explained that it must have been three years since I've been there because I was taking pictures and he wondered what I was doing. I told him I hadn't been there since the remodel. He explained everything that had been updated including the bar we were sitting at and the bathroom right next door. It's pretty brand-spanking-new from the floors to the ceiling. Had great but simple decor I wish I could take it home LOL.

      Jumbo wings with a dragoon ipa beer and a steak dinner with a full moon was our dinner. Very good food here and excellent customer service. They guys working are really down to earth people. The food was very flavorful and very well priced. If you are staying the Best Western you will get some coupons to use here. They also have a bar built in to the restaurant. Great place to grab some good food.

      This is our go to place for karaoke for the last 4 years

      We have tried other places, but always end up leaving them to come here.

      The crowd is always great and I've always felt comfortable singing.

      The drink specials are always great and they allow me to experience something new.

      When trying to elevate your restaurant, it's vital that you communicate your vision to the line. I fear that the chef at this hotel-based eatery has failed to get the standards for execution across. My strip steak, ordered medium-rare came out medium-well and the sauteed Brussels sprouts were awash in cheap-tasting maple syrup water and way too much bacon. As for my wife's grilled romaine salad, that had to be sent back to be grilled. At least the chef is trying and that's better than a lot of places.

      Cozy lounge, good drinks & very cool entertainment some nights.
      My friends raved about the burgers so I ordered one. My medium burger was rare inside & the avocado & bacon we're forgotten. Disappointed!

      Unfortunately the restaurant is not near any attractions/businesses so it was never busy during the 2 meals i had there. I guess the majority of customers are from the nearby hotel which is a shame. People are missing out.

      Good food at good prices and very friendly and efficient service.

      Life is not fair knowing I've had worse food & service at more popular locations at higher prices, there is no God.

      Besides the regular menu items, they also make the efforts to have daily specials.

      They're keeping it real

      The most lively Karaoke spot tonight! Not only can you sing but if you sing poorly, everyone is super supportive. What a nice place to grab a drink, relax, casual sing, and comfortably make a fool of yourself! No worries in sight here. Beer is cold and the mic is hot. Come on down, join the fun.

      Karaoke Night! 10/10

      We've been to the Restaurant at Royal Sun a few times since the last review, and had great service and food each time, but this visit seemed different. Dinner was certainly more expensive than previous, $52 before the tip. The Menu is more limited, covering the basics, done pretty well, albeit slowly, compared to other restaurants.

      What was different, was the absence of other customers. We arrived at 5:30 pm on a rainy Wednesday night and were out the door at 6:45 pm. No one else came in while we were there.

      The food was good. 7 Spicy, Buffalo bone-in wings to start ($8?). We waited about 20 minutes for those. Lips on fire, spicy sauce.

      A sizable dinner salad came with my friend's Tuna Steak, Rice Pilaf and Kale Mixture ($18). He said it was good, but would have liked the tuna more rare. Same with the Half-Pound "My Burger" with Bacon and Avocado at additional cost ($10+$1.50). The Restaurant was out of avocados, but the offer for the Avocado Crema was offered and accepted. Delicious, but not as healthy. Heck, it was like a lost weekend anyway, so I didn't mind. The Fries were different and REALLY good! I ate everything including most of the wings.

      We ordered the Limoncello($8?) from a Dessert Menu of 4 items, and even that seemed perhaps a smaller portion than before, but pretty good. Tea and Milk were $4 total. No Wine List, but their House Wines, Cocktails and Beers were available.

      The Restaurant looks very updated (Friend says "like a shiny, new, clean Student Union"), and our service was excellent, so we'll return periodically because its location is also very near to our house and their Burger is excellent. Friend said he should have ordered the Burger:(.

      This is a lovely little hotel restaurant that I enjoy eating at every time I stay at the best Western Royal Sun. The stuff is very cheerful and pleasant. Food is actually quite good and I've had dinner there many times, including homemade soups, fresh salads, and the surprisingly sophisticated Steak Diane.

      Guests of the hotel get special coupons for two-for-one drinks and free breakfast which makes it extra nice. Breakfasts are hearty and all cooked to order.

      For a little unpretentious local spot with positive vibes and good home cooking, this is it.
