| - In town for business. Walked over to this place from my hotel. After a long day of travel I just wanted something good and quick.
First, it took about 10 mins for anyone to acknowledge me at the door. There was only 2 ladies working and they were taking care of the entire place. The place was pretty full.
I sat at the bar in hopes it would be quick. Not so much. The lady behind the bar was friendly, and when she was able to pay any attention to me, she did a great job. Unfortunately for her, she was the hostess, the bartender, the waitress, and running food from the kitchen. The other waitress had the same work load.
It took about 15 mins to get my first drink and another 10 to place my meal order. Based on my experience to that point I kept it simple: a soup and sandwich.
I ordered simple whiskey/coke and it was fine. More ice and soda than anything else, but hey, that happens in a lot of places.
My soup was a French onion and the sandwich a Philly Cheesesteak. When it finally arrived (+/-30 min) it was gross. The soup had clearly been sitting reducing all day as it was more like nasty bread soaked in concentrated salt water with onions. The cheese on top was a half inch thick and cold. The biggest problem was the salt. Soooo salty. I couldn't eat it. I literally ate a spoonful and set it aside.
The sandwich was allegedly a Philly Cheesesteak. Having been to Philadelphia many times, and eaten countless of these, I can tell you it was anything but that. The beef was thick and cold, the cheese was Swiss and the onions and peppers were raw. The promised mushrooms never arrived, and it was absolutely flavorless. Not pretty either with the insides and oil pouring out the sides.
Against my better judgement, I ate it cause I was starving, a decision I would regret. The next morning I was so sick to my stomach. Really bad.
Probably the worse part was an extremely drunk woman sitting at the bar. I guess she worked there since she knew all the staff, especially the cook (yes, the cook was sitting at the bar, which probably explains the food), and she walked in and out of the kitchen several times. This women was absolutely blasted. She kept messing with patrons and slurring her words. She was upsetting one guy at the bar when she kept making fun of his rings. I was so put off that I asked my check and left.
Overall, the waitress and bartender were nice, but clearly overwhelmed. The food was disgusting, service slow, and the dunk employee and her cook friend were an embarrassment. It was kind of a "Ramsey Gordon: Kitchen Nightmares" experience, to be honest.
Won't be going back.
