| - Running errands late yesterday, and my guy and I were deciding on dinner. We had heard from friends of ours that PT's had happy hour from 5-7.
We walk in to a very busy, smokey bar. The dining room was "seat yourself".
Being the only ones in the dining area, we were acknowledged in a decent amount of time...
Before even ordering, our waitress immediately asked for both of our ID's.
We asked if happy hour was only in the bar, and our waitress told us that the HH (happy hour) applies to the entire restaurant.
I ordered a water, and my guy ordered a Stella beer, and a shot of Jack Daniels.
We ordered the BBQ chicken pizza, and a bucket of chicken tenders with sweet potato fries. We originally couldn't agree on a fry selection, but when I asked if I could just get a side of fries, the waitress told me that they only do fries for the buckets.....so, sweet potato fries it is (for about $2 more).
I'm a little confused on their HH pricing though.
Our waitress told us that it was "all half priced", the sign on the outside of the building says half off on pizza and all drinks.
Our pizza arrives first, and it was very good. I was pretty surprised. The big hunks of cilantro really added a burst of freshness, that the pizza needed. The BBQ sauce was a little sweet for me. A few drops of hot sauce would have really added an extra POW.
The bucket of chicken tenders arrives next. The fries were delicious, almost melt in your mouth fantastic. They were so airy. The chicken tenders were a tad lack luster. The breading was tough, even after being coated in sauce.
When I order tenders/wings, I'm expecting a hot sauce with some flavor... I want to taste some vinegar, some spices....not just heat. So, would I order these again..? Not really.
My guy asked for some extra celery, and our gal comes back with an entire plateful. While this was very thoughtful, I would have appreciated a hint drop of a charge of $3 for celery.
So, our bill comes.
Shot of Jack $6.
Stella beer $7.50
BBQ pizza $9
Tender Bucket $$11.99
Side of celery $2.50
Carrots $.75
So, where's the HH pricing on our drinks...? Is it just me?
Because a $6 shot doesn't sound half off...unless they have "strip" pricing, and their shots are normally $12.... Same goes for the beer. Unless their normal pricing is $15 for a beer..... I don't see this being a decent HH.
Also, charging me for carrots....really? You're talking about the 2 or 3 carrots that were at the bottom of our chicken tender bucket..?
$40 before tip, not bad for a night out, but when we came for HH pricing, that's kind of high.
