I went last night to Majerle's to watch the UFC fight. It was one of the few places that I thought wouldn't be packed to watch the fights. There were not alot of people there so it was an ideal environment to watch the UFC. However, the first thing I noticed is that it feels more like a lounge than a sports bar. The clientele is a mixture of people expecting a lounge experience with people expecting a sports bar. Confused identity?
Food and Menu: The menu is probably one of the worst menus I have ever tried to order from. It was an expensive menu that lacked creativity or anything that seemed original or unique. Can't justify the cost when many sports bars offer more for less. I ordered an appetizer, Potato skins. Can't screw that up, right? No they did. The skins were tough and dried out It tasted microwaved. The portion was almost half the size of most sports bars and twice the price. I then ordered the Cajun chicken sandwich and a friend ordered a veggie burger. Both were horrible. The veggie burger tasted too much like meet. It tasted like it was grilled with the other burgers. The Cajun chicken was nowhere near Cajun anything. 1 star.
Service: When we arrived we had a waitress who was attentive and also noticed that we were unhappy with the food. She did a great job. Then she told us she was being told to go home and introduced us to our new waitress. We cashed out to allow her to get the tip she greatly deserved. We were there 2 hours after wards and the new waitress only asked us once about a refill. This would have originally been 5 stars for service but easily ended at 2.5 stars.
The good thing about Majerle's is that minus the service, food, and cost it is a great place to watch sports. It is nice how the tvs are placed and the variety of sports shown. I was able to keep an eye on the Stanford game while watching the UFC fights. However, if I wanted a place only for the TV I'd stay home. I forced myself into 2 stars.
