Bake Chop — Restaurant in DeLand

We have been in and out over the last 7 years. The last good server we had left a few years ago. Since then, every time we visit, the service has been less spectacular. Tonight was probably our worst experience. We went for a nice evening out, and we knew the menu before we walked in so we could order without much fuss. After we sat, we were able to make our drink orders kind of quick, but the young man was short on discussion and walked away without much conversation. I noted the staff were all hanging out behind the counter, and even after they served our drinks had not asked us if we were ready to order. We could watch the staff flirting or playing while we watched several customers looking around for staff to help with checks or anything. After waiting 20 minutes, a young lady took our order. The wait time for food to be cooked to perfection was expected and did not disappoint. What did disappoint was no one came to see if the food was good or not as we heard them giggle behind the counter. After a few bites of my sweet potato fries, I realized they were way over salted but tried to push on as the burger was great. I placed my fries to the side and waited to catch staff attention to note the saltiness. We both finished our meals and continued to wait for staff assistance, and we were already looking forward to dessert. Again, the waiting game to get staff attention was annoying. I decided to just stand up and ask for the check at the counter since none of the staff wanted to clear tables, pickup tips, or ask if anyone wanted anything. Truly disappoint with the way things have changed. Also the bolt sticking out by the entry is not only an eyesore but a safety concern as it was loose and sticking out 3 inches before I...

My friend and I came in on a Tuesday afternoon and were immediately seated. I've seen it be super busy often. We sat at the bar table to watch the cooks. The staff was very friendly and the cooks seemed to be enjoying their work as well. Great environment.

We ordered the Boulevard and the Left Hander and intended to split it because we couldn't decide what seemed better. Upon hearing us say so, the waiter requested the chefs to split it for us and serve it that way. Super convenient and less messy for us.

The food itself was super amazing. That burger and chorizo combo was amazing. I've attempted to make one long ago and failed but this one definitely had a great ratio of each. I'm not a huge fan of plantains but it complimented the flavors well and overall quite delicious. The chicken sandwich was also so good. Perfectly cooked chicken, not dry or tough. The goat cheese and balsamic on it had great flavors. It had a hint of citrus, and I think I should have asked for a lemon wedge and added more juice to make it stand out more and bring this dish to the next level.

We also had a Madeira cake for dessert, the lemon and blueberry. Since it is a heavier cake I definitely couldn't eat the whole piece alone but awesome portion.

The restaurant is small on the inside but the acoustics are good. I was able to have a conversation without involving the entire restaurant or being drowned out by them. I was very happy with my experience here and I would love to come back and try some of their other dishes. I was also told that they have ever-changing specials so definitely worth checking out...

Hands down FAVORITE new spot! From the extremely friendly & accommodating service to the Incredible choices on the Menu...the only disappointment was we couldn't return the next day for the Maple blueberry burger and Who's Wanda as they are closed on Sundays. The atmosphere is cozy and a mix of Industrial, Vintage, and Hipster. We took forever to decide and and our waiter was very patient, offering samples to help us decide. We finally choose the soup of the day...forgot the name, which was unique, refreshing and a perfect starter, the Scallop Rangoon's, which is now my favorite dish ever with a crispy outside and warm gooey pimento cheese inside, the portabella mushroom burger, which was perfect all around, the beets and goat cheese went together so well, another new favorite, and the poke noodle bowl which my Son pretty much licked the bowl! We loved that they had my favorite New Orleans craft brew Abita, so I had to have a Purple Haze, but also discovered a new brew, forgot the name, but it paired perfectly with our diverse choices in the meal. I normally don't do desert, but I couldn't resist the Sopapilla cheesecake that was as good, if not better than it sounded! They explained they had a new Menu, so if you haven't been in a while, it's time to come back! We can't wait to get back...
