My experience at this establishment was decent, but left something to be desired. Firstly, the service was pretty good. Our waiter was attentive, and we did not have to wave him over once which is nice. They seemed to have a nice drink selection; they did not have my drink of choice on tap (Angry Orchard), but most bars do not as it is not really that common. My peers and myself all ordered sandwiches that came with fries. I mention what my friends ordered because it is relevant to the review. My Fried chicken sandwich was delicious, I just wish they toasted the bun that it was served on. The bun was cold which is not the biggest deal, but something to point out. I was pretty upset that my friends both received normal portions of fries, and I got an abbreviated puddle of them. My peers had noticeably more fries than me, and because of that I went home hungry. Next time something like this happens, I plan to take a picture and compare it to other people’s plates. Before anyone says why didn’t you mention this when at the restaurant? The answer is because they would have likely charged me for another portion of fries which I was not paying. The only way I would have been able to explain would be if I said “I am sorry but I am not satisfied with this portion of fries, may I please have more just like my friends? I also do not want to pay because I should have more in the first place just like everyone else at the table.” See how awkward that sounds? I could have mentioned something, but I did not and that is on me. What was going through the worker's mind when he was shoveling fries into plates? Was there some assembly line and for whatever reason he or she thought, this dude should get noticeably less than everyone else. That little extra scoop could have made my meal a lot better and could have brought the review from 3 to 4 stars. Also, I worked at restaurants before and know fries are and have been cheap. It was an easy way to satisfy a customer and all of the restaurants I worked at have been generous with them. Potato is not caviar, I promise the pub won’t lose that much money serving me a real side of fries. I am glad the sandwich was good, and I do appreciate the free soda refills. I would advise to really take into consideration the portions being served especially to a group of people. It does not exactly look right when one guy gets the bad end of the fry deal, especially when that person (me) was hungrier than everyone else at the table. It is good to enjoy your food, but teases are my least favorite types of meals; my mission is to enjoy my food AND get filled up. This place did one of the two, but the...
Read moreThe worst place ever. First time I went there. I had just moved to Bogota New jersey. I was referred from the mayor of Bogota's family. I ordered a salad and one chicken parm sandwich and I was charged $93 plus a city tax. Yes I said a city tax with a Capital C. I came from New York and never have I ever heard of a city tax on food. I will never return to this place nor will any of my friends. That is a rip off. My receipt didn't even have the items or the proper billing cycle. It was a scribbles lines across and a receipt. And I guess I allowed my ego to take in place and I felt embarrassed to put my pride to the side and say what the hell is this. Until other customers that were in the bar that told me do not eat anything from here just come for a occasional drink because they were rob you with city taxes. My question over all is who the hell do I claim my city taxes too when I do my taxes in 2023. I know I claim state and federal where the hell do I claim city taxes at. That is so illegal and insane for the town of Bogota I wish I never moved here I feel embarrassed and ashamed of this town and so does the people that live here. I will continue to pray and God bless this...
Read moreI was sitting at the bar, minding my business, when the busboy made his way over to drop some dishes. The guy who I assume is the owner of the bar (his pictures are on the website) shouted over to him from down the bar, how he felt if somebody could "tag team his sister" and had a laugh with pals. The busboy, right in front of me was caught off-guard and muttered, "really?" I was shocked, too. How immature do you have to be to treat your employees like that? The owner cashed me out, not saying a word to me or looked me in the eye. I wanted to think that maybe it he felt shame, but that's how he treated me the first time I visited the bar. I even asked for a drink off the menu, and he responded, "Oh I don't even know what's on this menu, but whatever." So he's immature AND incompetent. What a shame -- I just moved nearby and was hoping to find a new watering hole. The 101 Pub certainly...
