I hate to give this place such a low review, but they really gave me no choice with all the issues they had today. It's been exactly one week since they've opened so I will definitely come back in a month or so when they're more in the swing of things
The restaurant wasn't full of people when I came in so I was looking forward to decent wait times. I started off with the flamingo smoothie and it took about 10-15 min to get it. For a $7 smoothie I feel like I should've gotten a bigger portion and it wasn't very sweet.
I ordered the chicken and waffles and the wait time was about 30 min, which is fair. The presentation was great; however, the waffles were borderline cold and they were not crispy on the outside at all. It was more like chicken and pancakes than chicken and waffles. It was also served on top of mashed potatoes which made them a little soggy. I had to ask for a side of salt because the potatoes were so bland. Additionally, there was no syrup on top of my waffles, just butter. All of the syrup was on the bottom of the plate and got into half of the mashed potatoes, which made them sweet instead of savory (you can see in the picture). I had to ask for two sides of syrup so I could actually get some on my waffles and came to find out they charged extra for it.
The fried chicken was amazing! It was crispy, juicy and so far the best vegan chicken I've ever had. I got a refill of my smoothie and the second one was way better than the first one.
I also had the TMV cheese fries, which were okay. The fries by themselves were pretty good but the queso had no flavor to it at all. It seemed like it was there for nothing more than to look like cheese because it didn't taste like anything. I ended up dipping the fries in ketchup because I couldn't get on board with the bland cheese.
I ended up having a lot of left over food and when I asked my waitress for a to-go box she told me that they didn't have any. I was pretty done at that point, how does a restaurant not have to-go boxes? Needless to say I had to waste the generous amount of leftover food I had and was very disappointed with my experience. I will visit again eventually to give them a chance to redeem themselves. I hope their service gets better.
