| - Ehhh, I SO wanted to like this place. I heard about it through a friend and everyone else started talking about it so I got curious and finally made it out tonight.
It was literally like eating smack in the middle of Spirits Halloween Store. A lot of animatronic ghouls that were actually kind of neat but to maintain the spooky factor, they lacked on lighting. I couldn't read the menu without the glow of my cellphone, so if you like to do that and have fantastic eyesight unlike myself, this won't be a problem for you. (I also forgot my glasses. Double score.)
The limited menu offered few options but I'm not going to say anything about the food other than the Monsterland Burger was pretty decent. I didn't understand the homemade potato chips, though. Not a whole lot going on there. I would have preferred french fries but since that wasn't an option, it was easier to cut a few calories. We also had the Bat Wings, demon flavored... the fried, extended appendage of a chicken corpse. No legs, just wings... but the name warned me so I blame nobody but myself.
Things I also didn't like that totally weren't their fault: Waitress' first day and a little wet behind the ears but no ones mad about it. You progress and learn things along the way. It did take 10 minutes to split the bill on 2 different cards because of a system error. Her trainer should have been a little more attentive and the woman who identified herself as manager could have presented herself better than to wear short shorts and weird slipper booties on her feet. It was also Trivia Night... again, if you like that stuff and nothing about it annoys you, you will enjoy it.
I hate leaving bad reviews unless my experience was absolutely horrible but Monsterland is schtick and the novelty wears off really quickly. So honestly, make it out at least once before it... isn't there anymore.
