Of course I rely heavily on what others have to say about an establishment before making the decision to go. The main motivation for coming here was proximity to home and the positive feedback it was receiving.
I understand it is a neighborhood bar with all the basic bar food, but it was so basic it was lackluster.
On a quiet Monday eve there were maybe half a dozen patrons, yet service was incredibly slow. Server seemed distracted and uninterested, I believe he may have been the bartender. Other people delivered our food and/or checked in on our table. At the end of my sojourn there we waited in vain for our check - which the server had forgotten about.
Buffalo wings that were ordered were incredibly dry and lacked the anticipated buffalo sauce. Even the sides of ranch and bleu cheese dressing were missing the key ingredient of flavor.
The buffalo meatballs, drenched in a buffalo and bleu cheese sauce, were disappontingly dry and flavorless.
No selection of drafts to be had here, and most of the beer offerings on the wall were domestics like bud and coors.
For a local tavern, I guess I expected there to be a more decent beer selection. And that if the food offerings were known and customary bar food dishes, like wings, that there would be more of an emphasis on making those the best damn wings you have ever had.
Finally, no one cared whether we were there or would ever come back.
Honestly, I will often give a business my patronage just because the service rocks. This one, unfortunately, needs some work in all areas.
