| - Sorry, Toby, I can't say I love this bar & grill. Today was my first experience at this much-hyped establishment. Hubby & I stopped by for lunch with a gift card in hand. The place was a ghost town. I have to say, though, that I was impressed by the neat guitar-shaped bar.
I liked that they have an offer on here when you check in for 50% off an appetizer (excludes Toby's Platter). We got the nachos with chicken. There was a fair amount of guacamole, sour cream, & chicken on them. The nachos were definitely lacking in the cheese and bean department, though. The salsa that accompanied the nachos was decent. The chicken was kind of dry. Ick.
I also liked that weekdays they have happy hour from 11 am to 7 pm. Hubby got a couple $2 drafts, and I had two watered down house margaritas on the rocks for $4 a pop. Frozen margaritas are advertised as the happy hour special, which was what I wanted, but our waitress said the machine used to make those wasn't working. How unimpressive.
They also have select appetizers for $5 during happy hour. We wanted to try the fried Mac & cheese. I had high hopes. Not sure why. These did not meet my expectations. All I tasted was "fried". Had I not bit into one & checked out the guts, I never would have known there was Mac & cheese inside.
I ordered the southwest chicken salad as my entrée. I was disappointed in it. For just under $12, the size of the salad itself was pathetic, never mind the lack of beans, corn, peppers, and tomatoes. Is there a black bean shortage here?! The salad was also supposed to have candied pecans. There were zero on the salad I was served. I didn't complain...I saved a few calories this way (way to rationalize, right?), plus our waitress was not the most attentive. My husband got the turkey melt. He said it was fine, although he did leave some overly-crusty crusts behind.
Of course, I had to finish my Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill experience with some fried twinkies! Couldn't wait to try these things! The twinkies turned out to be my favorite part of this restaurant. Granted I was just about in a food coma at this point and my arteries were screaming for me not to do it!
Not exactly in a rush to get back here. If I ever return, I'd like to come at night, maybe for a show, to get a different perspective of the joint. But after reading some of the other reviews, I'm fearing I'll still have complaints, but just of a different variety.
