| - The concept here was attractive and the Yelp reviews were mostly positive so my wife and I and another couple gave it a try a week or so ago. Can't say we were overwhelmed. This is the new trendy fast-casual dining - order at a counter, plop yourself down at a table, and your food is brought out to you. I always hate the ubiquitous tipping jar prominently displayed on the counter and the request for a tip on the computerized receipt one signs. Why? I don't tip the guy at Taco Bell, why should these people be treated better??
Anyway, to the food. Myself and another guest ordered the Notorious R.I,B, bowl. Don't be mislead. Despite the menu description, rather than rib meat we got a hunk of pot roast. Very striated and tough and chewy. Nowhere near what I'd consider "rib" meat. I was expecting something like braised rib meat, but no, just plain old overcooked pot roast.
Another person had the chicken parmesan bowl and felt the breading on the chicken bits was overly thick. His bowl was essentially chicken McNuggets in a tomato sauce. My wife had the Rancher, which she enjoyed and thought the chicken was good.
So, 3 outta 4 didn't care for the food. Price was good as we walked out of there for less than $30.00. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
