| - We visited at 4:30 PM on 3/14/15.
When the line at BJ's was too long, we tried The Cabin. There was no wait. Now we know why!
There were four people in our party. We arrived at the hostess stand. No one was there. We stood there for a couple of minutes before someone came over and told us to seat ourselves.
Once seated, we waited 5 minutes before the waiter came over. We placed our drink orders. One water, one Shirley Temple, one Bud Light Draft and a Ginger Ale. The water and Ginger Ale were fine. The Bud Light had no foam/head on it at all. Completely FLAT. It looked like apple juice. After explaining this to the waiter, he offered to put some salt in it to "make it foam." What?! He brought back another draft beer that looked the same as the first. That one was sent back as well. We requested a bottled beer, as it was clear that something was wrong with the draft. Either there was no CO2 or the glass was soapy. A side note, the bottled beer was lukewarm. After another person in our party tried the Shirley Temple, we knew we had encountered another problem. IT HAD LIQUOR. A Shirley Temple does NOT have liquor! Although the person consuming it was over the age of 21, a non-alcoholic beverage was NOT ordered nor desired. The waiter confirmed that it was made with Gin. GIN?! The Shirley Temple was sent back and a Sprite arrived 5 minutes later.
FOOD: We ordered: mac and cheese balls, chicken wings, potato skins and a chicken quesadilla.
The food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. It was all lukewarm. It was all lacking in flavor.
The potato skins looked good but did not match the description. The description said, "potato skins loaded with house smoked brisket and chili and topped with sharp cheddar cheese." THERE WAS NO BRISKET ON THE POTATO SKINS. Also, the chili was really gross on the potato skin. The skins had sour cream drizzled across them. It would have been better on the side, not all over the top for folks that have allergies.
Mac and cheese balls were average. The chicken wings were average. The quesadilla was fair because the chicken inside was dry).
There were quite a few employees just standing around, yet the service was abysmal. We were never offered a discount after the drink disaster or the delays. Never so much as an, "I'm sorry."
Interesting note: the couple at the table next to us had difficulty as well. We overheard the first beer being sent back and complaints about their food (pulled pork was apparently dry). They were waiting for friends to meet them at the restaurant and actually called the friends and told them not to come.
We would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are obviously quite a few issues with this place. Hopefully this experience will be reviewed by management and appropriate changes made. If not, I don't see this place lasting 6 months. What a disappointment!
