Eating at the Tackle Box is a LOT like a classic Clint Eastwood movie... The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly . 1st, the GOOD. The food is cooked to order, served hot and fresh, with decent portions, and depending on the days, there are mealspecials to be had. The seasonings are near spot-on and come with plenty of condiments. The atmosphere is classic country, withpool and video games, and a full sized bar. I ordered the Boar Burger with fries, my wife ordered the French Dip with fries, andmy son ordered the Fried Gator with fries (ALL pictured). We also ordered the Fried Mushrooms as the appetizer. Let 's not mincewords... the Boar was well cooked and HEAVY, and had a slight gamey flavor, which was expected. The Gator was seasoned perfectlyand slightly chewy...again, expected. The French Dip was packed with meat and veggies, and the meat was tender. 2nd, theBAD...waiting for the food. Again, since everything is cooked to order, we waited...and waited...and waited. Each order came outin 10 min increments, which is unheard of. So for our orders, it took 40 min total. Eating a meal as a family was almost ruined.3rd, the UGLY... the lack of enthusiasm by the order taker, the cook, and the server. Each looked like they could or should beANYWHERE but there, and the amount of flies in the establishment. It 's hard to eat when you 're constantly swatting flies bothoff your drink and meal. This place is 3 stars by food alone, but has a lot of room for improvement, especially in getting theorders out and customer service. Yes, I understand it 's a hole in the wall, but it should be BETTER. I may eat here again, butnot with the family.

One of girl bartenders gave back the wrong ATM card, other person along with my husband had to cancel their ATM and wait 10days for a new card. We there around 3:00, the bartender's mind was focused on the shots that the guys werebuying her .

I had learned about them from a graduation party I went to where they served chicken and it was amazing. They returned my calls immediately the manin charge of catering adjusted the menu to fit our needs. The ribs beans and spaghetti are wonderful especially the ribs. Theydelivered the food on time , everything was ready to go. Large portions of food.The food is delivered in the warming containersalong with the warming candles and accessories to serve them you must return all of it to them. The food will stay hot forseveral hours but you must maintain the water beneath the serving tray. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a stressfree event.
