Really subpar food for the cost. May have been an odd night for them, as we've usually had a decent experience dining there. This time around will make it hard for us to give the place another chance as this seemed to be normal for them. There were quite a bit of people, mostly at the bar and only two women on the floor which I know can get super hectic. However, the food was just terrible; we ordered some rib eyes with sides, side salads etc.. The onion rings were mostly batter with no onions and someone decided to salt these things into a mini stroke on a plate. If we had not been nearly starving they would have been returned immediately. The side salads were abysmal!!! I've received a more nutritious salad from fast food joints... who uses iceberg lettuce and ONLY (brown) iceberg lettuce anymore on salad?! It's like eating water, I received the wrong dressing and when i did receive a vinaigrette it was a clumpy mess that was more sweet and sour than any vinaigrette I've had. Our steaks were alright, they were both cooked to the right temps, but nowhere near the price we paid for a "rare river" (what??) ribeye and was extremely chewy. They also garnished my steak with baby butter lettuce, which is odd at the least. Put that in my SALAD next time and garnish your dishes with parsley, it has more than a decorative use!!! Most of my $25 steak went home to the dog, he enjoyed it.
I honestly feel bad about leaving this review as we made no complaint about the quality of the food when we were there. But, as I'm typing this I know any chef/cook would have known better to send that out and any waitress would have known to not take it out. It sucks because we really do enjoy the place, atmosphere is laid back and staff is...
Read moreMyself, my husband, our 9 year old granddaughter, my sister and her 9 year old daughter planned a short 3 day trip out of town to celebrate my husbands birthday, and I happened upon Roscoe Village. It was only a 2 1/2 hour drive and had plenty to do, so I searched for good restaurants in the area and The Warehouse Restaurant came up. We got there at 4:30 Thu afternoon and there was hardly no one there. We were approached right away and asked if we cared to sit on the 1st floor, and we said no, but was shocked that the 1st floor was actually downstairs in the basement...lol. We didn't mind though and the only other people down there was one couple. Our server came immediately and asked for our drink order, and recommended the wine slushy...which my sister got and it was amazing as was my margarita! She told us that appetizers were half price, so we got the amazing onion rings and pretzel bites and my sister got the chips and spinach artichoke dip. And let me tell you, they were the biggest appetizers we've ever had...the pretzel bites had at least 35 in the order! I had the most amazing half slab of ribs I've ever eaten with 2 sides, my husband had the pulled pork sandwich and a side and our granddaughter had a cheeseburger and a side. With the 2 appetizers, 3 meals, 2 pops and the margarita, our bill was only $65! And our server was great, very attentive and friendly. I wish we didn't live 2 1/2 hours away so we...
Read moreMy wife and I stopped in while at a car show, saw a thing on Facebook that said they were one of the best steaks in Ohio... WRONG!
We were warned about the hour wait for food before we were seated (no wait for a table). The hostess offered drinks but didn't know the drafts and the waitress eventually found her way over. We were given an extensive list of what they were sold out of (by 1pm, they open at 11). We made our selection and I ordered a beer. About 10 min later I had to ask for my beer again, and finally received it.
Our food comes sooner than expected in about 40 min. My burger was small even for a ¼lb and the toppings were miniscule (Mac and cheese burger) my wife's steak (med well sirloin, she's pregnant) tasted like a whopper patty at beast and could have been worn as a boot sole, it was so dry that she had to put the only sauce available on it to get it down (ketchup). Her baked potato had zero seasoning though was properly cooked. The only thing we were served that tasted good was the sweet potato fries (wanted onion rings but they can't be a side).
The server came around as seldom as possible, we had the smallest table on the place and spent half the meal working around my wife's salad plate because it wasn't being picked up.
Every Applebee's steak I've had has been better than this $25 8oz sirloin with bad service... I couldn't do less...
