| - For the past two Sundays, I've come here to hang out for a couple of hours while my Son is at a Church function. I enjoy watching the Sunday night football game here and enjoying a drink or two. Last night I decided to grab a bite to eat.
I was dining by myself and wanted some finger food. After browsing the menu for a few minutes, I decided to go with the Nachos ($10.50). To wash it down, I had an Iced Tea.
I watched the Giants/Bears game while I waited for my grub......it didn't take too long before it came....the waitress delivered the Nachos and they were a friggin' mountain of Nachos! (see pics) Seriously.....I'm not opposed to large portions, but damn this thing could easily feed 4 people! I was a little pissed because I didn't want to eat that much and the waitress didn't say anything.....also the menu didn't mention the gargantuan size of the Nachos either. I reacted by saying "Damn, that's a friggin' mountain of food!".....she replied "I know"......well if you knew, why didn't you say something when I ordered it?!
This is where I am torn....do I knock off a Star because of this? or not? I personally feel that it's the server's responsibility to inform customers of stuff like this....especially when they see someone is dining alone and portion size is not mentioned on the menu.
Back to the food....the Nachos were topped with melted Cheddar Cheese, Jalapenos, Guacamole, Sour Cream, Onions, Olives, Tomatoes. The thing was so massive that stuff was falling off the edges of plate....another faux pas from the server is that she didn't offer me a smaller plate to eat my Nachos.....she expected me to pull pieces off this mountain and have it fall all over the table like a pig. I tried for a few minutes but felt like a slob so I asked her for a plate, which she brought over right away.
The Nachos flavor wasn't spectacular, it was bleh. The Cheese wasn't gooey....it was melted, but seemed to be sitting a little while because it was already coagulating and it was difficult to eat the Nachos without using a fork. Also, it was top heavy with the toppings....meaning after the 1st layer of Nachos, there was nothing but bare chips in the lower sections. What's the point of this dish then? I don't know.....I felt bad because I didn't even come close to finishing it and it wasn't worth taking home......what a waste of food.
I took off 1 Star because of the bad service.....still a great place to catch a game. I've eaten here many times in the past with great experiences, but was an inactive Yelper at the time so those experiences are outdated.
Will I return? Because of my favorable history with Big Dog's, I will give them another chance.....next time I'm asking the server how large the portion is.
