| - Oh, how I used to love SunUp. I was a fan when it was still Sonora Brewhouse, and I was a fan after the name change/change of ownership/whatever. The waitstaff was always sort of iffy, but the patio was comfortable (when smokers weren't around), and the food was pretty consistent. I was particularly in love with a new addition to the menu - the spicy pulled pork sandwich.
In search of a good place open on July 4th, I stopped in with a friend, already craving that delicious sandwich. After waiting a couple minutes to be seated (and not even being acknowledged by anyone when we entered), we were led to a table by an older woman. She took our drink orders and left us with menus to look over. It took me a minute to realize they'd changed their menu. Instead of one with appetizers, salads, sandwiches/burgers, entrees, and desserts, they instead now have a lunch and dinner menu. And, sadly, the pulled pork sandwich had been discontinued. I settled on the green chile chicken sandwich of some sort and an iced tea. The waitress wasn't very friendly and seemed to be uninterested in being pleasant. Our meals arrived but without the chipotle ketchup we requested. A few minutes later, the waitress brought it to our table. There was nothing impressive about my sandwich. It was fairly blah and unseasoned, and the sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside but tough and hard on the inside. Shame I paid $1 to upgrade from regular fries.
Once it came time to pay, the waitress took an exceptionally long time to return our cards and receipts to us. My companion saw she was just standing around in the back not doing anything. The place was pretty empty, so I don't really know why service was so bad. I do know that the new menu leaves a lot to be desired, and unfortunately, I'll be hard-pressed to return in the future.
