| - Had lunch at the Court House tavern today. I sat down at the bar and waited for the server to get done chatting with the guys at the end of the bar. About 10 minutes later I was noticed and in an almost sharp tone she asked, "What can I get you?" I asked for a menu and a sweetened ice tea. I got an unsweetened ice tea.
Looking over the menu I decided on the Warden Bacon Burger. On the menu it read, "Burgers are 8 oz. ground chuck, made to order, on a wood chip griled, served on a kaiser roll with your choice of french fries, red skin potatoes, home fries, sweet-n-sour cole slaw or vegetable of the day."
After what seemed like another eternity watching the server chat with a few of the other gentlemen, she came over, asked what I wanted and took my order while pouring a shot of Jack Daniels in a glass never bothering to make eye contact with me. I told her I'd like to have the bacon burger with provolone, tomato, onion and pickle. After pouring the Whiskey she made a phone call and chatted to someone about the road conditions while placing my order. I never got a chance to ask what the vegetable of the day was. I would have most likely chosen that or the sweet-n-sour cole slaw but my burger came with french fries.
On a positive note, the burger did come rather quickly. It had everything I asked for on it but also had lettuce which I didn't ask for and took off. For the most part the burger was pretty good. Had a charred coating on it that you would expect from a firewood grill and was nice and juicy on the inside. Was it worth $9.00? Probably not. I've had burgers just as good in this city for less.
I paid for my meal with a card but didn't include a tip (I'm usually a pretty good tipper) and wrote on my check, "Service was rude". I will not be back.
