| - Wifey & I were a little late for the buffet that day so we ended up giving The Game a try!
The Game occupies what was a former TGI Friday's I believe more than several years ago. Theme is similar though - lots of bar food and lots of alcoholic drinks! Only there's more of a sports theme going on here. Tons of TVs all around the restaurant playing all types of sports on screen, even personal monitors at each table so you can watch what you want! Don't wanna watch Lebron? Then you can watch Peyton. Or Bryce. Oh hell, you can watch a horse race too.
Came here for some vittles though, and that's what we did. The place on a weekend? Surprisingly a bit spare on patrons. An omen? I kinda thought so, but we sure didn't wanna go to the Subway right across the way. So at The Game we stayed.
Service was well...Hella slow. I mean it took like nearly 10 minutes for someone to even come to our table, and that was after we sat ourselves down! I guess The Game is supposed to be more of a home town bar than a full-service restaurant? No clue. Finally, one of the girls - dressed like a referee no less, greeted us hello and gave us a couple menus. Some decent looking grub, we ended up ordering:
-Philly Cheesesteak ($11) - Provolone cheese and red & green peppers
-Mushroom & Swiss Burger ($11)
We got fries with both orders. Took about 15 minutes but our food came out nice and warm. Verdict? Eh, it really is just OK. Nothing to rave about, average food. Wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best burger-type food we've had before. The Philly had too many peppers in it, and while being colorful it was a bit bland. I would have preferred mushrooms & onions on it instead. Wife did like her Mushroom & Swiss burger but the patty didn't seem house-made, was more like the commercial kind you buy already formed in bulk. Flavor a somewhat lacking as well. The bun was buttered & toasted though thankfully. On a side note - the fries did come in a cute paper bag! And they were nice & hot too.
I think The Game would have been a better experience if the place was actually PACKED with people, possibly shouting at the TV. Atmosphere makes it folks! Just sayin'.
We might be back to The Game again to give it another try, most likely if the buffet is closed again the next time to hahaha. But if you're staying at the Suncoast, The Game is not the worst bet you can make. I would save that for CRAPS. Always bet on black. Or is it red??
