| - I live very close to this newly opened restaurant and I REALLY wanted to like it. Um...no.
Went on a Thursday night. Not overly crowded. Plentiful lighted parking, which was great. However, the outside of the building (oddly painted over signs, and the cigarette strewn walk should have been a clue). It does look like a rough country bar like in the movie "Road House"...if only Patrick Swayze was there to greet me...(miss you, Patrick) But I digress. The inside of the restaurant is clean, and the seating is plentiful, The lighting is not attractive-- no warmth or lights over the booths-- two ceiling fans with large overhead bulbs. The place where I sat was very dark and not in a good way.
I was immediately seated, but I waited a very long (about 15 minutes) before my order was taken and water was brought to my table. From being to seated to getting my food was 35 minutes, which did seem a little long for a basic burger--As I sat there waiting, the sounds of yelling was frequently heard coming from the kitchen. I don't know if the "Chef" knows this, but the sounds really echo in his dining room. It was very disturbing to hear him holler at his staff.
Checking out the menu, I can see that the menu is strange. A few steaks, lots of burgers and a few greek items....GREEK food? Yes. Greek salad and a Greek Gyro sandwich..and I think another greek entree. Interesting. I assumed that the chef might have had some Greek heritage. Why else would someone add a few random greek dishes to an otherwise country/bar feel type of restaurant? Let's check this out! I decided to order the Gyro-- but my young and very inexperienced waitress told me that they were out of Gyros tonight. Okay...I ordered the mushroom swiss burger instead.
Soft drink order was delivered---HUGE ass cup. Seriously--normally that is the sign that they don't want to have to come and check on you to give you refills. And it proved to be true in this case. Mushroom swiss burger was pathetic--the burger patty correctly cooked to my liking, but that is the only thing nice I can say about it. The rest was extremely low quality. The bun was a burger king bun, the cheese was cold and not melted and the mushrooms were CANNED-- slimy, gross CANNED mushrooms. I cannot believe I paid $6.99 for a burger that was lower in quality than McDonalds.
I finished my meal with dessert-- the waitress recommended the bread pudding..and the menu said it was homemade. I asked specifically if it had a "sauce". She said she checked with the "Chef" (I do question how anyone who prepared my incredibly pedestrian and low quality meal could be called a chef, but what do I know?) and told me it had a carmel sauce on top. Hoping to end on a high note, I took a chance. The square cut bread pudding I received did not have any sauce. I never detected carmel flavor..and it was served stone cold. Direct from the refridgerator. COLD. I dont remember ever having stone cold bread pudding. I sent it back and asked for it to be served warm. Less than two minutes later, I received it back. It was not warm, The center was still refridgerator temperature. I gave up a that point.
I know this place is new...and I hope they can get it together before they chase everyone away. I will not be going back- My $16.99 meal was an extreme disappointment and I left feeling very unhappy.
