**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag of Experiences** Recent visits to this popular local eatery reveal a spectrum of dining experiences. While some patrons enjoyed attentive service and generous portions, others reported disappointing food and service. Long waits for meals, inattentive staff, and inconsistent food quality overshadowed the enthusiasm of new diners. Issues ranged from poorly executed dishes—like overcooked fish and poorly sauced wings—to unwelcoming bartenders, leading many to reconsider returning. Despite a bustling atmosphere and some positive remarks on service during busy hours, it seems the restaurant struggles to maintain its standards, leaving loyal customers seeking better options elsewhere.
I have stopped frequenting this location due to attitude from the bartender Amber with long blonde hair. I don't know what it is but she seems angry or passive aggressive every time I'm there. She visibly caters to her regulars or possibly her husband because it is hard to get her attention or service from her when she is talking to them the whole time. I dine alone but that doesn't mean I do not deserve proper attention as well, especially how well I typically tip. Not to mention I can smell weed from across the bar on her. I have been happy taking my money elsewhere.
The chicken and waffles have been good other times but this time the chicken and bacon were super tough and dry to the point where they weren't edible. The waffle portion was good at least.The 4 main TVs in the center of the restaurant were all black, likely powered off. The one in the corner was on at least. The lighting in the right is now a high temperature of 7k or 8k, this gives too much blue tint and not the nice orange ambience I would expect.
The service and food has really gone down hill at this location on our last visit it took over an hour to get our food and the place was not that busy. Not once did our waitress or did the manager walk around and say anything about the wait.
Was a very pleasant meal. Took longer then normal for the food to get out to our table but we showed up right at the busiest dinner hour so I felt like that was to be expected. Food was great, waiter was great. Would go again
