| - Oh goodness, I don't like writing reviews like this but I think someone needs to balance the 4 and 5 star reviews for this place.
Ok, so we don't go to gaming restaurants that often, maybe 2 times a month, but we have been to a couple so we have an idea of what they look like, how they run and what to expect.
Let's talk about the food first. It was trying to be a "nicer" restaurant than most bars, I could tell with my $12 bbq chicken salad. It was literally half a small plate of mixed greens with some limp gross red onions, a chicken breast on top and then half a plate of tortilla chips. Why would you put half a plate of tortilla chips on a salad plate? Plus, there is nothing for the chips to do, no dip of any sort, so I asked for a side of guac and was charged for it. Theme of the night.
The boy ordered a chicken sandwich, and oddly enough they put two whole chicken breasts on the one sandwich. Not cut up either, just two giant slabs of overcooked, underseasoned dry chicken. He took one home and I used it for dinner tonight, so I guess it's not a total loss, but it definitely was a bit dried and boring.
So the food was way below mediocre, and kind of odd at the same time. The "cook" was out in the bar flirting with the bar tender, there were only about 3 people in the giant restaurant at about 7:30 on a Sunday night, should have been a clue.
Now to the part I feel a bit odd talking about, but our waitress, at the end of the night, told us it was "company policy" to only give away one free drink for "every $20 played." I put in $10 and the boy put in $20. Because I actually won money, I never put in more, so I had to pay for all my drinks. The boy lost some money, but only got one beer free. This seems kind of ridiculous, the only reason I go to these places is because I get entertainment and a free drink, clearly the food isn't a draw. If I knew I was going to be paying for all my drinks I would go to somewhere I knew had good food and charged less. Quite frankly if this is how every PT place operates, I won't go to another one. I understand having to operate a business and make money, but when 90 percent of gaming places let you drink for free, why would i go to some place that charges me for everything. I also felt it a bit odd that the server didn't say anything until right when we got our check and then she seemed super apologetic about it.
Needless to say we won't go to this or any other PT place again. The Lodge has better food and gives away free drinks no matter if you win or lose. If you don't care about food, service or value, then by all means, give it a try!
