What User doesn't like about Poor Boys:
average food. environment was very strange- really dark environment. the manager called to the staff when they were quiet and had no one to serve. the personal was shocked and felt like they wanted us out of asap. no communication between the personal - asked the same question of several waiters. I wouldn't go back. View all feedback. What User likes about Poor Boys:
my family and I enjoyed eating and the service was efficient, but not overpowered. the children's menu included favorites of my year old nephew, so he was also very happy, especially with the earthly beer. View all feedback.

Poor service and average eating. not good value for money

Minutes after the order of the waitress realized that our order had not gone through the bank. Nobody checked on our table. we were then brought to our fault.

A fantastic find. Food and service was lovely. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Poor Boys is a culinary hotspot that's garnered mixed reviews, characterized by a vibrant yet dark ambiance. Diners are often treated to sizeable portions of flavorful dishes, such as the praised mac and cheese and burnt ends. Friendly staff enhance the experience, particularly during hectic times, although communication gaps occasionally arise. While some dishes leave patrons wanting more in terms of seasoning and sides, the overall value remains commendable. However, the cocktail menu has faced criticism. Despite a few drawbacks, many guests express eagerness to return, drawn by the unique atmosphere and attentive service.
