| - Oh, where to start... So, my friends were coming into town for a birthday. We made reservations at Double Barrel Roadhouse on OpenTable for the special occasion. They were able to accommodate our party of eight, which was good. There was also a gentleman outside, who was passing out a 2-for-1 drink deal coupon for the restaurant. So, we picked up a few of those to use for the night.
We ordered our drinks. Everything seemed to have been going fine until the meals came out.
Three of us ordered steaks. $40 a pop. We ordered them in three different temperatures: rare, medium rare, and medium. However, they didn't come out at all like they were supposed to. My rare steak was more like medium rare, and the other two were fully well-done. The steak was okay, but not worth the price, even by Strip standards. The birthday boy and my other friend sent their steaks back. It eventually came out tolerable.
My boyfriend ordered the burger. It was supposed to be served with a fried egg and bacon on it. However, when it came out from the kitchen, there was no egg to be found, and the bacon was burnt to a crisp, literally. Like, it was blackened. I like my bacon crispy, but the strips were almost unrecognizable. He told the food runner, who then brought him out a plate with a fried egg on it. Eventually, the manager took the entire burger back to be remade.
My friend's dad also had extremely burnt bacon. But, being the sweet old man that he is, he didn't complain about it.
My other friend ordered the chicken and waffles, which he said were very good. It was the only meal that was positively reviewed by our table. One out of eight. A restaurant has got to do better than that, especially one in a 4-star hotel.
The manager was nice in the ordeal. He comped a round of our drinks, however, I believe they were supposed to be comped anyway because of the coupons. My comped drink also came out 3/4 full. Like, what? It is too much to fill 'er up? I feel like they could have done a little more since more than half of our meals were entirely unsatisfactory. He also didn't come back to check on us after the first time.
They also forgot to bring refills, appropriate silverware, plating, and so on. Normally, I wouldn't really care about all that, but on top of everything else... it was extremely disappointing.
So, our server was polite and managed to remedy the situations that arose. However, we were not happy with the way he handled our check situation. On one of the tabs, my friends' bill amounted to $85 (or something like that). So, they put a $100 bill and a $20 bill into the check book and specifically requested change. The server kept the $20 bill and brought back only enough change for the $100. So, he took the liberty of tipping himself $20. That really isn't part of "Can we please get change?". We were pissed. We didn't want to deal with the establishment further, so we left without making a fuss about it.
Overall, I will never be back. Too many things went unnecessarily wrong. It was such a disappointing birthday dinner. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Take your business elsewhere. There are much better value places that maintain a higher standard of food and business.
