So I finally got the opportunity to get over to this place last night. I've been dying to experience the hype and I was quickly disappointed.
When my daughter and I got there it was perfect timing. We were greeted and seated right away. But when we were leaving people were waiting for tables.
Our meal consisted of an appetizer and two entrees. So let's start with the appetizer. We started off with a small portion of the Texas cheese fries. It was perfect for two. It was more than enough actually. You could do this for three and stretching it maybe for four. Overall the flavor was good but it was very salty. I could feel my hands swelling as we were still there.
Our dinner entrees. My daughter ordered the bacon burger. Fries are extra with the burger. My daughter asked about the cost of the salad and our server told her she's give it to her complimentary. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and you get a side with that so I ordered the Mac and cheese. Which I was told " good choice" at time of ordering. So this made me very excited about my choice.
Let's start with the bacon burger. Appearances are very deceiving and plating is a big miss. It was a half pound burger on a plate. All by its lonesome. So that just looked odd. My daughter picks up her burger and takes her first bite and quickly spits out what she just bit off. I asked what was wrong and she takes the top of the bun off and in the finely shredded lettuce she had to hunt for the pickles. When she found them, and if she liked pickles, she would have pickle with every bite and the bacon. She loves her bacon and had to take it out because it wasn't quit cooked all the way. Needless to say she could only eat half of it and left the rest behind.
Now for my buffalo chicken wrap and Mac and cheese. It was two tortillas cut in half with a side of ranch dressing for dipping. Here appearances were not deceiving. I could tell by the tortilla that I would not be happy and again plating is a miss. I took my first bite and wondered where the buffalo sauce was. It was very bland from that standpoint. I couldn't taste buffalo sauce at all. Disappointing. Then just like my daughter I begin to taste pickle. I unroll the wrap and I too would have had pickle with every bite. I didn't even eat half of my meal. Then I decided to move on to my side. Another disappointment. The cheese was very bland and watered down.
Service. Our waitress was very nice but we didn't have a check in or asked at all how our meal was. I finally got a refill on my tea after the bill came. Our total bill came to $28.00 and it probably would have been better off going to a drive through and saved half and gotten a better meal.
This restaurant falls into the category of new American and gastropub. New American yes, I could see that. Gastropub I'm still questioning. I've been to a great, high end gastropub in Los Angeles and I can't even compare the two. I think they missed that mark. I think you can tell by my one star rating that I won't be going back again.
