| - A couple girlfriends and I decided to hit up this place for an early birthday dinner after seeing their drink menu. We heard some mixed things about the food, but the drinks looked so good! It's a big space with 2 giant mason jar chandeliers, lots of potential. The place was fairly empty, but it was a Tuesday afternoon. We arrived right in time for Happy Hour, 25% off of your entire check was a great deal. We decided on drinks right away, I had the cloud 9 and it was delicious. In fact, I was pretty impressed with all of the drinks that we ordered, they weren't overly boozy, but they weren't weak either. We decided to just have a few appetizers and dessert.
We started with the pork belly and country grits. I wasn't a huge fan of this, it wasn't super flavorful but the grits weren't terrible. I took a bite or two and moved on. We couldn't resist ordering the burnt ends, but again I found them disappointing. The piece I had was almost all fat and I ended up spitting it out. I then turned my attention to the pulled pork sliders which were OK, nothing crazy good, but definitely one of the better things on the table. We also ordered a side of fries and mac and cheese. I found the mac and cheese to be greasy and the cheddar was too sharp. It did have a nice crust on top, but just wasn't that great. I liked the fries, but it's hard to mess up fries. They were served with a side of Alabama white sauce, which was basically mayonnaise with a spicy component, not a bad dip for the fries. The last side to hit our table was the corn bread. Again, it wasn't terrible, but a little dry and not super flavorful.
Despite the meal, we decided to try a couple desserts because it was happy hour and they sounded so good. We got the strawberry shortcake sandwiches which were again just OK. I found the biscuits to be dense and flavorless, but the strawberry ice cream was surprisingly delicious. We also settled on the fried banana split and it was definitely the low point of the meal. The bananas were corn flake covered and fried to the point of no return, they were brown on the inside and everything about them was burnt. The sundae itself just wasn't that good and I thought it was pretty hard to mess up a sundae!
It wasn't just the food, the service was also weird. At one point the manager interrupted our server as he was taking our order to question him about another table, which was really rude and unprofessional. It was clear that our server wasn't passionate about serving or customer service. He was awkward and even commented on how much we ordered, which was weird because we didn't order a ton for 3 people and the more we order the bigger the tip. At the end of our meal we waited a good 10 minutes for him to run our credit cards. He was having a conversation with some other servers/managers with our cards in his hand, it was really frustrating. When he came back to our table he started a conversation with us about the Dodgers because my friend's credit card had a Dodgers logo on it. It came out that he used to play for the Dodgers, which is really cool. I think in the end the entire staff needs more training and professional development. The food was bland and just missed the mark. I would definitely skip this place and visit one of the many other food establishments at Town Square.
