I experienced this place for the first time years ago with my boyfriend and his parents. They suggested the spot for it's homey pub feel and excellent food and huge beer list. One of my favourite items was the curry chicken, but they removed that from the menu. However the burgers and many of the apps like the calamari and the quesadillas are delish. I would love to give this place a higher rating but ever since I've started going here, whether with my boyfriend, his parents, or my own girlfriends I have not once recieved 'good' service. I dont know if it's because my servers take one look at my table and immediatley judge us as 'not worth their time' or because their systems are inefficient or they are simply sub par servers, no idea why. But the service always leaves me feeling so unvalued as a patron and almost an annoyance. If there is one thing I wish Allen's would successfully improve on is better service. The last time I was there my server was so weeds. She buzzed about us, and was very short in her attendance. Upon finishing up our appetizer she grabbed our plate and asked us if we were done, of which we responded not yet, then abruptly dropped the plate back on the table with a clang. I was so jarred by this I refused to talk to her for the rest of my evening. Once most of her tables had left and she had time for us she tried to redeem herself by talking to us more. It worked a bit and we left her a casual 15%. Sadly, I've come to accept this lack of quality in service and will return to Allen's at least once or twice every year. I know, I'm not helping the issue.
