| - I've been looking forward to trying Deagan's for a while, and my first visit definitely didn't disappoint!
I went for dinner on a Friday night and got there around 7:45 or 8, and there was about a 45 minute wait. We were fine with that and grabbed some beers (Southern Tier Pumking is definitely one of my favorite beers ever!!), and the bartenders seemed really friendly. A table was ready pretty close to 45 minutes later, but it was right near the back door so I unfortunately I was freeeeezing throughout the entire meal. I know someone has to sit there, but come on - that's what double entrance doors are for! I was also way too hungry to wait for another table.
Our server - I think her name was Shelly - was amazing! She was super knowledgeable and friendly, and pointed out some of the most popular items as well as her personal favorites. She was also personable and attentive without going overboard. We started with the Angels on Horseback and the calamari. The calamari was probably the best calamari I've had - we couldn't stop talking about it, and I loved the sauces that came with it!
For dinner, we got a wagyu culotte steak that was on special, as well as the chicken and waffles. I tasted the steak and it was buttery and delicious! My chicken and waffles were pretty good, but probably the wrong item for me to have ordered for my personal taste. However, the portion was massive, so I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for something very filling! After the beers and the appetizers I ended up eating about a third of it, tops.
The food came out really fast - which is sort of good, but sort of not good. It was nice to have our appetizers quickly, but our entrees came out right as we were finishing the apps, and I would have liked to have a little break in between. I guess I understand that on busy nights they're getting the food out as fast as possible, and it would've been way worse to have been waiting forever, so I'll get over it. :)
