Venus III Sports Bar & Restaurant - American restaurant in Hanson - 252 Main St, USA

The only thing left good at Venus is their bar style pizza which I suspect was originally stolen from B&Rs restaurant years ago. Amazing how similar they are. But anyway... Venus has gone downhill alot! It is a sports bar / restaurant so I never went there looking for fine dining but it was always fairly consistent and relatively good food. But the last 3 times we stopped in there for a meal it has been a disaster. The first time they failed to seat us before they sat multiple couples ahead of us that came in well after us. We ended up leaving because we ran out of time. The next time they sat my wife and 9 year old daughter at a high top in the bar. Yes, a 9 year old in the bar… right beside a table with a couple speaking loudly about 2 gay people providing felicio to each other! When they asked to be reseated they were told it would be an hour! There were multiple open booths at the time... My wife was also served a mudslide when she requested a Rasberry Stolie and Sprite and the waitress begged her to just take it and she wouldn't be charged... which she was!!! They left without eating that night and went to 550 Tavern. Tonight we tried to have dinner there one last time. My daughter's favorite meal she ordered. Buffalo chicken fajitas! We have been getting them for years. The sizzling hot plate with buffalo chicken, the plate with all the veggies and cheese, the tortillas in the warming dish... You all know what fajitas are!! Well... Venus no longer does. She was served a fajita salad as I would describe it. We left Venus for the last time tonight. Something horrible has happened there. A new manager maybe? Maybe the restaurant is just going under and it's struggling to keep its head up? I'm not sure, but I've done my best to try to look past the couple last outings and tonight was the last straw. I could always say the food was still good, and like I said, I didn't expect first class dining there. But now the service sucks, the food sucks, and no one seems to care. That's the last nail in the coffin for us. BTW…. They call the attached picture their Buffalo Chicken Fajitas!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️ My old review below! I’m sorry I kept trying. Should have learned from this experience. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Good evening, Came in for dinner tonight with my 9 year old daughter for a date night but unfortunately was never seated. We are fairly regular guests a couple times a month on average and am familiar with your service. Your hostess tonight was a deer in headlights. I gave my name and I patiently waited a little over 25 minutes. I expect the wait and 25 minutes isn’t all that long until you started seating groups of people that came in after us, the same size as our group. I watched these people put in their names. Only one way that happens is to be there first. I asked the hostess if she skipped us and she looked me in the face and lied instead of just admitting the mistake. Holy crap do I hate being lied too!!! And now here I sit somewhere else listening to my daughter complain that she’s not eating the only thing she wants, Buffalo Fajitas, while your hostess thinks I’m a blind FKN idiot. Thanks for the great night!

Not friendly at all. Hard to get the attention of the bartender or the keno lady. I live in the town. Tried several times. Always the same. Food is pretty good. But probably won’t be back. Not friendly

Has a server that hates her job and shows it by her attitude. Didn’t say hello, state her name, just grunted at wife and me. Wife has been a server for 25 years, was stunned. Tried to use an Entertainment coupon, she states “you can’t use this, I do not know how to do it”. Asked her to get a Manager, “none working tonight”. Lost the 25% off bill coupon cuz they just could not figure it out. Like their food, not their attitude. BTW, server for next table was awesome, took great care of his tables. Ours was a 1 out of 10 rating. Just bad all around. Won’t be back!

The last couple of months our pizza has been overcooked, dry, with less toppings, less sauce, and definitely less cheese. I don't know what happened as Venis III was by far the best bar pizza on the South Shore.

lovely place for big groups. usual bar fare but done well and done right. pizza is on point and buffalo wings are tender and spicy.

This is one of our two go-to places for dinner out. The service is timely and attentive and the food has always been delicious. My spouse orders pizza and gets a second one to take home, it's that good! I generally order the turkey club and it's huge. I have enough for my lunch the next day. If you like watching sports, sit at the bar. The tv's in the dining room only play the lottery.

Food was good place was pretty much empty but still took a while for our food.

I love it so much the food is GREAT and the people are super nice. I met the owner and he is so caring and nice 100% going back.
