| - Stopped in here today for lunch with mom. First time ever at this location. It was right around noon, and the place was about 1/3 full. That is to say, two sections were completely packed full of people and the rest of the restaurant was deserted. The host says to us, "Okay, I'm gonna tell you what I told the lady over there," as he points to lady sitting down waiting. "It may not look like we've busy, but we've only got two servers and, as you can see, their sections are completely full. So, it's like a 15 minute wait." I get what he was saying, that each of the two servers had over their capacity of tables, but the place was nowhere near "busy". My mom questions him, "I mean, it's lunch time...there's barely anyone in here...why do you only have two servers...yada yada." He proceeds to tell us that there are two servers on their way in, but it would still be about 10 or 15 minutes. His excuse: they are never usually busy for lunch. Hmmm. Not comforting.
I ask, "Can't we just sit in a booth and get a drink at least?" He finally says, "Oh yeah, you can sit in the bar area and the bartender can get your food for you." Ingenious idea, Outbacker!
So, we proceed to get a booth in the bar, since apparently there's no wait time in the bar area (on the other side of the wall is the dining area, where there is still a 10-15 minute wait still). There are two other groups sitting in booths in the bar area, and it appears they are almost done. I go up to the bar to order my mom and I drinks. The bartender is counting money from the register, never looks up, finishes, walks to the back room. I was the only person at the bar. Nice. So, I go sit back down. A few minutes later, he comes out, gives both groups their checks and starts to walk away. I stop him and ask if we can order drinks. He says he'll be right back. He doesn't come right back. He doesn't come back at all.
Instead, a few minutes later, a friendly waitress named Mattie comes over out of nowhere and takes our drink and food order. Thank goodness! I got the Chicken Tacos, which came with Aussie Fries (nothing special folks, french fries with salt and pepper). My mom got the Fish Tacos. For the price, you get a decent amount of food. Too much in fact, but I won't complain about that. We each got three tacos, with sauce on the side. We swapped one taco each, which made me glad I got the chicken because I wasn't impressed with the fish taco at all. My tacos were good, nothing spectacular. The chicken was seasoned well and the pico de gallo salsa was refreshing. The aioli sauce was good too. The big problem with the tacos is that there were huge chunks of iceberg lettuce on the bottom, like the hard pieces from the inside of a head of lettuce. Obviously, those all got chucked off to the side.
Overall, the service from our waitress was fine. She was super friendly and efficient. On top of bringing us refills, napkins, etc. My mom ordered coffee later on and she never charged us. Not sure if this was by accident or not. Of course, we didn't argue. 1 star for food being edible and 1 star for Mattie. Will probably not return.
