Feedback
The Clipper offers an enticing Taco Tuesday, attracting many for its delicious tacos and lively atmosphere. However, guests have reported inconsistent service, with instances of rude waitstaff and chaotic bartending amidst busy nights. While some diners praise the tasty food and friendly staff, others complain about excessive noise levels and unwelcoming experiences, particularly on popular music bingo nights. Despite these drawbacks, many are drawn back by the promise of satisfying tacos and a charming dive bar ambiance. If you're considering a visit, perhaps time your arrival wisely and appreciate the tacos while navigating the service unpredictability.
It was quite busy, but the staff were very efficient and knowledgeable. I had a great time!
New to the area, my wife and I stopped by to grab a beer after work. We took a seat at the bar and waited through four songs, but the bartender completely ignored us. It seemed like our business wasn’t appreciated, so we decided to take our money elsewhere. Just to note, both my wife and I are managers in the service industry, and we’re known to drink a lot and tip generously.
I had a great experience with the food! I highly recommend the Taco Tuesday tacos and the fried onion rings. The atmosphere was nice, but it was quite loud, making it difficult for us to have a proper conversation. We asked our server if she could politely request the noisy table to lower their voices, but she said she couldn’t. I understand that The Clipper gets really busy on Taco Tuesdays, which is perfectly fine, but I believe customers should be respectful of others, and servers should feel empowered to ask patrons to lower their volume if they’re being disruptive.
Taco Tuesdays here are fantastic! Arrive early, ideally by 11 a.m., or you might struggle to find a seat. One taco is more than enough!
