| - After reading lukewarm reviews, we decided to give All Fired Up a chance. There isn't a hostess, so we kind of lingered by the front door wondering what to do. I might be helpful if there was a "Seat Yourself" sign. We ordered wings, and asked for the extra crispy. They came out soft, and the larger ones were not cooked through. I ate one before I realized it wasn't cooked, and sent the rest back. The server took them off our bill. My husband ordered pulled pork and I got ribs. My sweet potato fries and his chips were good. The coleslaw was obviously from a prepared dressing and nothing special. My ribs were ok. The were tender, but the meat was a little dry. His pork was good. The service was slow. I observed another couple come in and look around confused, as we did. They sat themselves, and 2 servers walked past and ignored them. Finally, a third actually acknowledged them and brought menus. When it was time to pay, I gave the credit card to the server. She took the credit card somewhere and then picked up a bus tub off the floor. She put the bus tub ON every table she bussed (about 6). Then she came back to wipe every table she bussed, and THEN she brought my card back. The credit card receipt was from Tommy's, another NR restaurant that recently closed. I thought that was funny, but my husband said maybe it was the same owner.
All Fired Up is in desperate need of some more staff. The servers had too many tables for them to be running food and bussing. I love local spots, and it would be great if NR had more than one good restaurant!
