By the time my boyfriend and I arrived ~20 minutes later) they were still waiting for their drinks, so my boyfriend ordered straight from the bar. We felt kind of bad enjoying our drinks because at this point our friends had waited over 30 minutes and still hadn't been served yet. Eventually, their drinks came and a nice server who was off-the-clock decided she would take everyone's food orders to help our server along. The food didn't take long to come out, but it was really blah... underwhelming. Even for bar food. The only time we saw our server after the initial round of drinks were dropped off was when we were checking out. Thank goodness for the server who was working off-the-clock. She got our food orders, ran our food to our table, got us re-fills, and our checks. I was really disappointed to find out that she would not be getting any of the tips from our table. She did all that work so she deserved all the tips. I believe her name was Shelly!!! Wellman's gets an extra star for her!!! I've been a server/bartender so I get that it can be overwhelming, but the original server assigned to us only had 3 tables...Thanks, Shelly for ensuring our experience wasn't a complete disaster! I will never come here again.

Just had a great meal. Rib eye steak sandwich and enchilada soup. My wife had a Wellman’s all American Burger. Great American Pub atmosphere. read more Just had a great meal. Rib eye steak sandwich and enchilada soup. My wife had a Wellman’s all American Burger. Great American Pub atmosphere.
