Feedback
Plate 38 has received a mix of reviews from diners, ranging from slow service due to understaffing to delicious dishes such as fried calamari and rock garnelen. Some customers have enjoyed happy hour specials, while others found disappointment in service and food quality. Noise levels were noted as a downside, but the overall consensus is positive, with many praising the excellent service and great food options. Popular menu items include tuna tartare tacos and Mary's 1/2 fried chicken, with affordable prices and generous portions. Despite some issues with wait times and inaccuracies in orders, many diners expressed a desire to return for the tasty food and friendly staff at Plate 38.
While the ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, unfortunately, the dining experience fell short due to below-average service and food lacking in seasoning and flavor. While catchy and enticing menu food item titles were abundant, the presentation and overall taste was frankly lackluster. The waitstaff seemed preoccupied and inattentive, resulting in miscommunication of the customers’ needs. As stated, the dishes lacked flavor and could have benefited greatly from more seasoning or love. Overall, while the potential was there, the execution left much to be desired.
Plate 38 was the perfect place to meet family for a Sunday Brunch. The drinks were delicious for all of us, the food, was okay. We had a side of fries which the whole table really enjoyed, the Turkey Sandwich, which was mediocre, the Chilaquiles were also just mediocre, the lox bagel was great, my husband thoroughly enjoyed it, and my Garden Salad was also delicious. The service could have been a bit better, when we arrive there were only a few tables seated and it took about 10 min to get our drink orders in.
This is about the 10th time I have eaten at this restaurant and it NEVER disappoints. It is consistently excellent with a very extensive menu. You cannnot go wrong at this place. We drive 45 minutes to eat there and it is definitely worth it.
I loved the place. Happy Hour menu is amazing. I ordered Cesar Salad , Grilled fish taco aaaaand the Huarache (pic) !!! A must.
