Ron's Place — Restaurant in Addison

Rude bartenders, terrible drinks, bad customer service and unapologetic staff - When I asked the bartender for a vodka-soda with a dash of ginger beer instead of a Moscow Mule because I do not like sweet stuff - she said "ginger beer is not sweet, who is making your drinks?" She even gave me a taste of ginger beer that was pretty sweet. I decided to politely entertain her anyway and tell her I still wanted soda over ginger beer. So, she made a face saying "Ok!" and made it anyway - first of all claiming the customer(me) was wrong.

My other Indian guy friends walked in and I moved to a table from the bar. We ordered a bunch of drinks with a different bartender. We asked for the check, the new bartender brought the check and we put our card in without looking at the check (bad on our part for trusting the establishment and it's staff). We are about to leave the bar and the original bartender screams from the back of the bar saying "Hey! You can't leave, you gotta pay!"

To put this in perspective, we are customers, Indian people who already are so aware of our race and all the stereotyping that comes with it, who have faced a TONNE of racism, who were getting called out like we were thieves in front of everyone at the bar.

We obviously already closed out too. We went in to see what the fuss was about and the new bartender screwed up and gave us the wrong check (for a higher tab BTW) My friend who paid for all of us went ahead and re swiped for the new bill. None of the bartenders apologized or said we should have known you paid or even about the way the screamed across the bar instead of walking to the door or talking to us outside. As we were signing, my friend said to the original bartender - " Hey, you want to maybe apologize for the way you called us out, because we actually paid and you guys messed up?" She replied " We are really busy"

Case closed. Vow to never walk into an establishment like that - for their women who mansplain (lack of a better word) how other women like their drink, rude and terrible customer service, clearly incompetent staff - (couldn't make a drink or create the right check).

And FYI, if you took the time to scream and call someone out for something that was not their fault - have the decency to do the same screaming and announce to everyone that it was your fault and not the other person's. Apologize...

My hubby and I tried Ron's Place because I purchased a Groupon. Ron's Place and The Hub are next door to each other, and owned by the same owner. Ron's Place is small, non-smoking, while The Hub is larger with billiards, and permits smoking. They are both bars that serve food. And even though Ron's is non-smoking, you can still smell the smoke drifting over from The Hub. I bought the Groupon not really knowing what to expect. We ordered chips and salsa for an appetizer, along with an unsweetened tea and a lemonade. I had a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp, hubby had the bbq brisket sandwich with fries. The chips were standard corn tortilla chips, and the salsa was served cold and tasted average. It was fine to me though, but my hubby wasn't very impressed. My Caeser salad with the grilled shrimp was good, but my lemonade tasted like sugar water. I definitely did not ask for a refill. My hubby enjoyed his fries, but didn't finish his bbq brisket sandwich as it was dry and the sauce tasted odd. Our server was very nice and attentive, which was a plus. But, although we had a Groupon, we still felt like we overpaid for the overall quality and quantity of our meal. It was interesting going to a new place, but it's highly unlikely we'll return since there are so many better options for dinner. I'm sure Ron's Place and The Hub are great places to hang out and drink with friends, but probably not the best places to go...

I would have given 6 stars if I could! The brisket quesadillas are the best quesadillas I've ever had. I didn't bite into any fatty chunks and the meat had great elasticity without being chewy. Their jalapeno ranch is homemade and has just the right amount of heat. The tortilla was soft on the inside with the perfect crunch on the outside and they are not stingy with the cheese. My friend had the Big BLT and she said it was delicious. The bacon was cooked just right, the lettuce was crisp, the tomato was full of flavor, and the bread was toasted to a beautiful golden brown. I cannot wait to go back. I want to try more things on the menu but it will be hard to restrain myself from the brisket quesadillas. I highly recommend this place to locals as well as visitors for a...
