Something must have happened at Bison Witches between January and August. New management? Maybe down economy? What ever it was, the "huge sandwiches" that many have mentioned, including my friend Austin who was with me yesterday, have been replaced by huge slices of bread.
Thick slices of bread are perfect for french toast, but shouldn't be anywhere near a sandwich. Maybe if what was in between the slices was served in an equally generous portion, this would be okay, but as it was served to me, the massive slices of bread only emphasized the meager portions of meat and toppings. This was disappointing to say the least.
The quality of the soup and half sandwich I ordered was decent. The soup definitely better than the sandwich, but also in a smaller portion than the reputation of this place suggested.
It's a cool atmosphere with a decent selection at the bar. The Pumpkin Porter from Four Peaks was especially good.
The service left much to be desired. Our meals were brought to us by a different server than took our order and was visibly annoyed that we were in the middle of a conversation when she showed up to give us our food. How dare I finish the sentence I was wrapping up while she waited roughly 5 seconds with our food. But hey, that's how I roll.
Our experience at Bison's was 2.5 stars. I'll give them the extra .5 for offering Four Peaks seasonal. Other than that, it's no the kind of place I see myself craving.
