| - We've been here a couple of times and we keep hoping that the painfully slow service was just a fluke, but I don't think it is at this point. It's really too bad, this is a local place, good food and drink menu, and live entertainment. The promise of something good is there, but don't go there if you are starving because it takes over 30 minutes for food to be delivered to the table.
I overheard two of the waitresses say that the bartender had to run out to the store so that they had to make our drinks in his absence (since it was taking SO LONG for him to get back). 15 minutes later, our drinks finally arrived. I ordered the same drink that I ordered the last time I was there and it was nothing like I had before. Not terrible, but not the same either and in a completely different sized glass than last time, too. My Mom's drink was so strong that she couldn't drink it until it was watered down by the ice. So, I have to take a star off for the poured drinks being inconsistent in taste and size.
Our last visit was at 7:30 on a Saturday night. It was me, my husband, my 15 yo son, and my Mom. My husband ordered the steak sandwich (as he did the last time, too..he liked it), my son ordered the Big Mick Burger (Southsiders take on the Big Mac...he liked it very much) and my Mom and I both had the Fish & Chips...and they were truly excellent!!! Nice mild tender fish, crispy fluffy batter that wasn't greasy, and it was piping hot with delicious french fries. My only complaint about the food isn't even about the food...it's about the wait for the food. We didn't get our food until after 8:15!
We finished eating at 8:45, but then had to wait for the waitress to clear our table and bring us the check. We didn't leave until after 9:00. 90 minutes for a burger, steak sandwich, and fish & chips is a bit much!
Will we go back for a third time?...I'm on the fence at this point. I'm also skeptical to recommend this place to my large circle of local friends because of the slow service. Even though we are all hoping for a great local place to gather at! I hope that they can get their timing right in the kitchen and make sure everyone is following the same drink menu. This could be a great local go-to, but it's not there just yet.
