| - It was a really nice day out so my boyfriend and I wanted to go somewhere where we could eat outdoors. He had never been to Redfin Blues, so we decided to go there. It was Memorial Day, so we expected it to be busy, but when we got there they said there was only a 30 min wait. That was definitely not the case though.
We sat on some rocks nearby and waited for our buzzer to go off. We waited, and waited, and waited. There were many tables open, which I think was also confusing people that were coming in after us. We waited about 40 minutes and then overheard the hostess telling someone else the buzzers weren't working. So we turned in those. Even though there were a ton of tables open, we weren't allowed to even sit at them to get some drinks or eat chips, etc. We were told that they were pacing the flow of people because the kitchen was backed up, and that was the reason for the empty tables. ??? We were both amazed that we were not even allowed to sit down to get some drinks, it's their money that they lost I guess though.
After waiting about 45 - 50 min, we overhear a tablet nearby asking about their food. The waitress tells them the kitchen is really backed up, so their food isn't going to come for about 40 more minutes but she could get them some chips, etc. (They had already been seated and placed their order about 20 min prior) After hearing that, we bailed. I sadly can't even review the food because the wait was so unacceptable, especially since we couldn't even sit down and get water or drinks. When we told the hostess we were just leaving, she didn't seem very apologetic either, all she said was a quick sorry.
I really liked to stop at this place and get some lunch when I was riding my bike on the trail, but my boyfriend said he'd never go back.
