I stopped in the first Friday we had snow showers for appetizers and a drink. Our bartender was totally awesome. I can't remember get name, but she doesn't work evenings. She provided great conversation, drinks and service. I would go back just to sit at the bar and talk to her.
Pretty typical food. It's not too bad not too good. The service was fine.
Good food, good prices, friendly wait staff
Food and Beverage quality was far less than positive. Both of the apps appeared to have salt as their primary ingredient, to the point that other flavors were not clearly discernible, and it's pretty tough to overpower a beer cheese dip. The Margaritas tasted more like a Tequila Sour than an actual lime margarita, served up with a generous portion of liquor in the bottom of the mug, with the mixer riding on top; It had not been shaken or mixed before service.
We attempted to order the margaritas, then the server asked if we had our ID's; She didn't want to see them, just wanted to know if we had them on our person. (As an aside, both myself and my dining companion were over 40.) My companion said it was in her purse in the car, and the served made me go out and get the purse, but STILL didn't want to see the ID. I've never run into this in well, forever, so it made it into this review. This process also took more than 10 minutes to complete, so we're more than 30 minutes into our visit and haven't received a single item...Did I mention that our server was also training a new employee? Unbelievable.
When we arrived at approximately 6 PM, there were 22 empty tables in the dining room, and the hostess notified us that there would be a 10 minute wait. What? Either the store had 6 people call off, or they were unprepared to receive guests; We waited almost 15 minutes to enter the half-full dining room.
They did offer a Veteran's FREE MEAL on a specific menu which was very nice.
In closing, it appeared upon arrival that the store was not prepared to serve guests, staff did not handle guests efficiently, almost appearing to go out of their way to delay and disturb dining groups to the point of disruption (Don't get me started on the staff using the bar to drop off dirty food dishes around couples seated at the bar!) The food was so overly salted, it appeared to be designed to appeal to older guests with a reduced sense of taste. All in all, a complete explanation on why younger guests were not present in the restaurant at the time of my visit. There are multiple better options currently available in this local area.
The server was completely unprepared to perform her job on the day of visit; By this I mean that there were multiple awesome promotions going on in the store on the date of my visit ($1 Margaritas, Half-price Apps and Dinner Deal for 2,) Yet she suggested a fountain beverage. We asked about the All-Day App special, which was clearly featured in the entry foyer, and she told me it was only 3-6 PM. I suggested she look into it, and 10 minutes later she returned and said the promo was going on, but the discounted apps were limited to select items. We ordered a total of 2 apps, thinking dinner was also in the offing, but the server did not return to ask about a dinner order until well after the appetizers arrived, at which point it just seemed unnecessary.
Stopped by for dinner and to try out their $1 Margarita Limited-Time promotion. Sadly, I am unable to think of a single positive during my visit to share in this review.
Love this place. Come here very often for lunch. Phyllis is the best server there. Nachos and apps are great
