| - The Boss Burger is my favorite menu item at this place. The first time I was here, it was served on a square ciabatta bun, and the second time I was here, it was on a round ciabatta bun, which confused me. There is a slice of salami on top of the burger meat along with caramelized onions and provolone cheese. I always add mushrooms as well even though it is not an option on the menu, and they are always willing to accommodate my request, which I am grateful for.
The Hawaiian poke appetizer has no business being on a diner menu but I order it each time because it's good. I love the fresh tuna combined with avocado and the rest of the poke mix. The wonton crisps that separate each layer compliment the poke quite well.
My husband always orders the Green Chili Burger Patty Melt, and he enjoys it thoroughly. I only managed a small bite of his, so I didn't really have a chance to truly remember how it tasted but I imagine it's good, otherwise the picky guy wouldn't keep ordering it.
There's a Cajun mac and cheese appetizer as well, but it kind of reminded us of Kraft mac and cheese that comes from a box. Despite it's unimpressive appearance in comparison to the other stuff we've tried, it's pretty tasty with the andouille sausage mixed in.
As far as desserts go, the carrot cake is good. The sizzling apple skillet is basically a slice of apple pie that's very hot and topped with ice cream, so don't expect a skillet. It's also good, because apple pie is always good, especially when topped with ice cream.
There is a trend in every paragraph I'm describing... the food is good!
I find it funny that despite the fact that people in our Vistancia community want this restaurant location to be successful, the reviews are often harsh and emotion-filled. There is evident frustration that with so many restaurants opening and closing at this location, our community's voices are not being heard. If complaints are not addressed immediately, then people are willing to let it fail so quickly.
I can tell that this restaurant is trying to address these complaints.
- A new healthier option menu was created
- They are trying to appeal to families as well (there were families with children taking free line dancing lessons on the "bar" side of the wall)
- Service is typically really good Sunday through Thursday (with the exception of a weekend night and short staffing issues - can't help there...)
Some areas for improvement..
-Don't advertise about an ice cream/fountain shoppe if it's not ready yet. Just surprise us or give us a date when it'll open because people are let down when they don't see it and think it's there already
- Excited for website to be done anytime soon! There are no pictures showing off the food on the website and there should be as well as all the great specials you guys are having. (I know, I know, it's a work in progress still...)
Like many others, I do honestly want this grill to succeed. Yeah the decor is perhaps "colder" than the warm desert colors from the previous restaurant, but you got to admit, the themed state table idea was pretty cool. It's fun to sit at different tables and see what's unique about each state. That's one of the reasons reservations are available.. so you can pick what "state" you want to sit at. Plus, the food is good. I just hope that with the summer coming around, some small improvements can be made that every new restaurant faces initially and everyone can finally be on the same page for once.
