| - Wanted to try a new local place, but was unpleasantly surprised. From the outside the restaurant looks very nice, however the empty parking lot should have been a sign to eat somewhere else. On the inside the booth we were placed in had multiple rips in the seat. Not what I was expecting from a newly renovated restaurant in the food area of West Chandler.
Next was the menu. My wife and I ordered the grilled hotwings, better than moms meatloaf, and a burger and a couple of beers. Simple barfood right? Our tab was almost $60.00 including a standard tip. The staff was appropriately dressed and was professional.
Lets start with the appetizer. The hot wings were on the small side, even though they were advertised as being large and you only got 6 wings. The presentation was very nice, however I am in a bar and was not expecting great presentation. I was expecting value, which I did not receive paying more than $1.00/ wing.
Next the entree.... The better than moms meatloaf was $17.00!. I ordered it anyway since my mom made some incredible meatloaf and wanted to see what the offering was. GREATLY Disappointed. The meatloaf came in 2 pieces and was very small. The meat was topped with an inedible garnish, but it was everywhere so it impossible for you not to get some of it in your mouth. Mashed potatoes were good and so were the steamed vegetables. Their mom had to be a horrible cook because i would not consider it better than the fare my mom served on Thursdays.
My wife's meal was a little better, but how can you really mess up a hamburger. The fries had a funny taste to them, as if they were making funnel cake in the same oil...
Overall I left the place feeling I got ripped off. I can order a prime rib less than 1/4 mile away at Longhorn or Charlestons for the same money, or for a few dollars more I could go to Flemings or Roys. Needless to say we wont be back.
