| - I've lived about 2 minutes away from this place for the last 5 years and never tried it. I found a coupon of buy one, get one free so we thought we would try it before the kids' baseball game last night.
Now I know why I never bothered.
It is a dive bar for sure and it's definitely a good place to go if you don't like the trendy places. I would probably go back just for drinks and maybe an appetizer. When we arrived, we were greeted by a server. As I set my coupon on the table (not sure if he needed to see it right away), I ordered my drink and showed him the coupon. HIs response was a smart- assed "yeah, I can see it". Strike one. I work in a restaurant and I will hold you to a standard.
My son ordered the kids sliders with only cheese and ketchup, the other kid ordered kids' strips, I ordered the meatloaf and my husband ordered the bolognese dish and asked for a salad. We asked for an appetizer of wings. There was a style of ordering them that I questioned and the server's response was another smart ass reply that they are exactly how they sound. Okay, well every place is different and I wanted to know WTF made this place so freaking special with their stupid wings. Strike two. Then at this point there was a server change, the next guy was really nice.
My son's sliders came out about 15 minutes before anything else. And they had onions on them, not how he ordered it. Strike three. Honestly, I should have just walked out at this point. My husband never got his salad and the wings were okay. I would have had better wings elsewhere. Strike four.
We had to be at the kids' field for baseball at 6:15 and it was already 5:50 before we got anything. My meatloaf was supposed to come with mashed potatoes and they gave me some nasty rice. I asked for the potatoes. He came back 10 minutes later to say they were working on the potatoes and I told him that we had to leave and I needed a box. My husband just left with the kids. My meatloaf was okay, it had good flavor but the consistency of dog food. Now I wish I had a dog so I could just give the leftovers to him.
The server apologized for everything and stated that he walked in and everything was thrown on him, which I could believe because the other guy was such an ass. When he took the value for our coupon off, they took off the cheapest meal which was my son's $6 chicken fingers! The coupon had a value up to $8 or $10. So why choose the cheapest one when tax added another $5 and I had a savings then of $1. Strike 5,042. We paid $55 for shitty food and drinks.
I also want to add that the guy who brought our food was also really nice. So, this place gets a star for their servers, otherwise, if I could score a negative 10, I would. I texted one of my friends right away and told her to pass on it.
