I hate to update my review and remove 2 stars because this is my neighborhood bar and in here 3x a week, but things just aren't the same here.
Earl left and even tho i thought everything at the bar would remain the same, its not. Earl was so nice and made sure to always have conversation with you. That is one of the reasons this bar was so special.. People knowing your name & your story.
We went in today for lunch and there were only 3 others in the bar. A girl took our order. Normally everyone there plays bartender, cook & everything in between. After taking our order the girl didn't even say 2 words to us. Someone else made our food, another person served our food & refilled our drinks. No one even asked how it was. The young girl who initially took our order spent the next 30 minutes counting & splitting the tips. We were sitting right in front of her & had to ask 2 times for our check.
About the food... Again not the same. My frozen Hash Browns weren't fried or crispy.. They were just bland frozen hash browns. I also ordered the country fried steak & eggs. Normally the gravy on the steak is thick & delicious. This gravy was so thin that it seeped into the steak and couldn't even taste it
Bring back earl or at least teach the young bartenders how to be friendly and bring on conversation.
I feel embarrassed writing this bc im here 3x a week but i at least hope Nadine sees this and changes some things.
