| - This was a last resort, especially with our last visit's fiasco. This visit, not quite as bad. I give it only 3 and a half stars, mainly due to kitchen.
Came in tonight (Saturday, 5pm), hostess was very friendly, smiled, seated us right away. No problems there.
Server came over promptly, was friendly and very professional. Took drink and app orders.
Drinks- ordered no alcohol, so nothing to write about there.
Apps- chips with salsa and guac, voodoo fries.
Chips are very large and they don't give you hardly any at all. I thought they were bottomless, but I guess not. The portions of salsa and guac are tiny. Didn't even fill half of the (I'm guessing 3 oz) plastic ramiken. Voodoo fries were delicious. I had them without bacon (vegetarian). The cheese on them was delicious, and the fried jalapeƱo wheels really made the dish. However, again, rather small. I would not recommend sharing with more than 2 people. However, it took forever to get to our table (right before the main course was delivered).
Dinner-
I forget which burger the fiance had, but he loved it. I bartended at a gourmet burger place owned by a celebrity chef in a casino, so even though I don't eat meat, I know what a perfect "medium" looks like, and they nailed it. Good size too. He devoured it.
I had a veggie burger with Swiss, guac, lettuce, onion, mayo, and added an egg- medium hard. Burger came out and the egg was not at all cooked. I like over easy, just not the mess, but most of the WHITE of the egg was runny. (I'm like, how do you nail a perfect medium burger, and can't cook a medium egg??) Server agreed it was gross and told me she'd get me another. Again, took forever for one over-medium egg. Finally it came, and it was over-hard and overcooked. Ate it anyway. Burger was tasty. Guac is very good. Steak fries were soggy on the outside and not all the way cooked on the inside. And NO FLAVOR, whatsoever. Even after drowning it with all the sea salt and seasoning salt at the table, they could not be saved.
Daughter had kid's mac and cheese with broccoli. She liked it.
Ordered 2 "Cookie Magic" shakes to-go. They were good, but filled barely more than half of the cup.
I would like to highlight our server Kris (African American young lady). She was outstanding, deserves 5 stars. I drink A LOT of tea, and my glass was never empty. She even refilled my daughter's lemonade before it was empty (which most places ignore the kid). Automatically brought extra napkins. Very pleasant and warm, and didn't miss a beat.
