| - Please yelpers stop with the references to PBR and hipsters when you review this place. I really don't care if a guy wants to wear skinny jeans cover himself in tattoos and grow a beard to his toes, to each their own. Not every bicycle lover is a "hipster" bicycle lovers were around long before that term existed.
I have tried this place twice, first time I have to say it was fine, service was decent and the food just ok. Nothing amazing on the menu but enough to satisfy, I wish there were more vegetarian options that included more than portabella mushrooms as their main ingredient but oh well.
The beer is ok some local craft beers but its 5$ for most of them there are a few 3$ options, that price is ok but there beer glasses are medium not large.
Like I said my first visit was fine, but the second one was a different story all I can chalk it up is that they have more business now and from a management standpoint are disorganized and not keeping up with demand.
Which is sad because this could be a super cool little joint, here's what is standing in the way.
1. Splurge for a beer or drink menu so we know wtf we are ordering, the scribbles on the back of the waitresses pad doesn't count.
2. Hire at least one more food server, who is not a bartender and one more cook for the kitchen. We got there on a Saturday just shy of 2 hrs past opening hour (12pm) Placed an order for two sandwiches, we never saw our sandwiches. Yet people all around us even some who sat down after got their food and left in that time. I can only attribute that to two options 1, the cook forgot our order, or 2 our waitress forgot to place it. Either way get on top of your staff or get rid of them if they cannot keep up on a busy lunch hour, lunch should never take 1 hour + to serve.
3. If your service sucks try a sincere sorry instead of a bunch of superficial ones. Throughout our wait our waitress kept muttering sorry, but offered no solution except they were very busy today...... a place trying to keep business will offer compensation such as free food or at least free drinks. This place did neither all they did was say sorry we are busy, yea so are lots places they don't make you wait an hour for a sandwich an offer no help. I told my friend I thought we should do the right thing and pay for our beers, then the bartender shouted rudely "I can't take your tab here your waitress has it." Thanks add insult to injury, then I was left awkwardly standing in the way of the bar because the place is so tiny there was no place else to stand while we waited for the waitress.... who last chance never offered us our beers for free. That should have been a given with that kind of crap service.
So I was forced to go eat in a chain restaurant with my friend on a Saturday, sad times. Don't think I will be sharing this place with friends any longer, I think its building up the reputation for bad service that Double wide has.
