| - Gave this place a great review previously, but my last experience here was just ok. The service before this has always been great, but this time it was meh. I was there to watch a World Cup game with my friend. Unfortunately, only two of us, but I got there early and ordered a drink. I realized that we were at a table to 6 for only 2 ppl, but the bar wasn't busy yet. The game had already started and there were still tables open. However, I had every intention of spending more than a table of 6 on drinks and lunch. If there were any tables of 6 they were sitting in front of the big screen as the booths are too small for 6 ppl.
The server didn't bring any menus, or offer me a drink, as though she was assuming that I was just another cheap customer wanting to occupy a table and not spend any money. I had to wait 10 minutes for her to ask me for a drink order. Sure, my friend isn't here yet, but if you're concerned about making money, you could try selling me some booze.
Eventually I flagged her down and ordered a double caesar. YUM! it was deliciously made and brimming with lots of horseradish! I sucked back a few more of these over the course of the game along with two entrees and a vodka soda or two. We ended up spending over $100 at the table. I get that they want to pack it in. But some people just don't come out in big groups for the game. And to be fair, it's not a big venue that I'd go to with a big group.
Anyway, the food was ok. My Taco salad was good. My friend's pulled pork sandwich looked kind of gross and the fries seemed burnt. I'm just not a big fan of Pulled Pork in general and that's fine because I didn't order it.
I don't know... I'd go back and I like the local feel. I can also see how they want to maximize their space during the World Cup. But there were tables sitting there just drinking and I'm sure they didn't spend as much as the two of us did.
We didn't feel valued, despite spending money.
Anyway, I've had great experiences in the past. So hopefully I can update and upgrade my review the next time I go.
