| - MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT.
If you don't mind run down dive bars, this is a place you should run screaming from. First of all, on a Saturday night, the place was dead. That should tell you something. The next clue would be the extremely worn out chairs. Nearly every bit of paint has been worn off the chair frames. Don't get me started on the floors and the walls overflowing with tacky pictures.
Service is not their strong suit. It took forever to get our order taken and even much longer to actually get some food. Nothing in this place is made fresh. The dinner salads were even too small for a child and consisted of wilted iceberg lettuce with a couple chunks of tomato, drowned in bottle dressing. My parents ordered the simplest meal normally you cannot screw up, spaghetti and meat balls. First the sauce was not a red I recognize but almost black. It appeared to have come straight out of a Hunts can, most likely from the dented can bin at the local grocery store. The noodles where uninspired and had no flavor.
I ordered the fish and fries. First of all, who puts fish on the menu but does not offer cole slaw? How dare you! My fish finally arrived at the table 20 minutes after the spaghetti giving the appearance that they had to run down the street to the local mega mart to buy some. The flavor was not bad, just nothing to brag about. Dry, overcooked and about half the size of a normal portion. The tarter sauce was pre-proportioned from a jar and the color showed it had been around awhile.
Topping it all off, the owner after nearly 20 years in business has yet to figure out how to program his cash register. He has to ring up dinners under the sandwhich button and fish under the pizza button. The worst part, this means the prices don't match what is printed on the menu! In order to get close to the correct price for our meal they had to leave off one of our appetizers.
This place has truly gone down hill, if it ever had a chance in the past of being anything more than a dive bar serving horrible bar food.
