Went here tonight cause I was having a hankerin' for fried pickles. Its really the only reason we go here rather than other similar places.
So we order our drinks (they were out of iced tea, which is what I drink...hot water + teabags + a few mins + ice = iced tea. Easy peasey folks). Got out ammended drink order along with fried pickles.
The pickles were nice and hot and crispy but even though I'm a spice addict drowning pickles (already salty since the literally live their entire pickle life swimming in brine) and then giving them a heavy handed seasoned salt blizzard wakes them almost too salty to be edible, yay for the dippin' sauce.
Once the pickles were delivered I'm pretty sure the staff was being abducted by aliens cause there was no one to be found. Almost 45 mins later our food arrived. He had the whiskey chili (pretty sure they have to just warm that up if its not already bubbling away in a chili pot.
I ordered a turkey melt. It was supposed to be turkey, pepper jack cheese, bacon, and avocado on GRILLED sourdough bread. As far as restaurant vittles go a sandwich should be a no brainer. My grilled/toasted sourdough had absolutely no color on it. The bottom was so soggy and the fried so limp and cold I am almost positive that my plate had spent a long time under the heat lamp (remember thay 45 mins we waited for a sandwich and a bowl of chili?) On top of that there were two small super thin pieces of bacon and two thinly sliced avocado. The pepper jack had no pep. My fries were sad.
All in all pickles were ok, he liked his chili, my sandwich was a total let down. The service was great when she was actually talking to us but my boyfriend literally had to hunt her down outside to ask for our check. And instead of bringing it right away...ten mins later when she was still not there I was sent to the car because the booth was uncomfortable. All he had to do was get a box and sign his receipt...20 mins later he walked out.
I love fried pickles but if you cant get a sandwich right and keep it on the heat lamp when the place isn't busy, we will take our money to a place who deserves it from great food and amazing service.
Guess we will have to get our pickle fix at Hooters now.
