Update: I've been back SEVERAL times since my original posting. While I still feel that the place needs renovated something fierce, the food quality and service has improved almost drastically.
I totally forgot that they do a late night half price appetizer menu, which was a very pleasant surprise on my last visit. Our waitress was amazingly nice and attentive, even though she had an unfortunate table full of undergrads running her around every two minutes for something. The wings were delish, and you can't really go wrong with pizza or fried cheese wedges.
Good improvements, and this place is now back into nornal rotation.
