Channel Marker — Restaurant in Edmonds

My waitress was extremely rude from first contact when I asked her for a happy hour menu as it lists happy hour as ending 7pm online. It was 6:50 and she said happy hour was already over, "Bar time and all that." I gave my order to someone else who took an interest and he relayed it to her. But I received a cold baked potato when it came out (which they did replace with a lukewarm one). I also had to take my AMF back to the bar cause it had pineapple juice in it and when the bartender was remaking it (he said he didn't make the last one), he put what I thought was Triplesec in it. Not wanting to have to bring my drink back again, I said, "If that was Triplesec, it isn't added to an AMF. There should be vodka, rum, tequila, gin,and blue caracol in it." My waitress who was nearby started aggressively arguing with me that there is Triplesec in an AMF. She said, "If you wanted something specific, you should have asked for it." Surprised, I said, "If you look up the ingredients online, there is never Triplesec in that drink." She walked away to gripe to another waitress. (I guess we know who made the last drink.) The bartender to his credit kept his cool and explained that was not Triplesec he had poured. So we were all good. My waitress never came to check on me. I had to give my requests to someone else when another table gave their order. Bottomline, I eat out a lot and it is VERY rare I complain. This was my first time at this restaurant. Food and drinks are decent. But the waitstaff needs some training on common courtesy and drink making (or to be fired).

Side note, the table next to mine got beef instead of chicken on their nachos and never received their jalenpeno poppers. No effort was made to make things right to my knowledge other than ,"Whoops sorry. It was a communication error." The lady at that table said, "I get that they were busy when we arrived, but it has slowed down. This was bad service." She had to go inside to hunt for someone to cash her out.

My waitress was Gina, in her 30s, caucasian, with reddish-brown shoulder length hair...

If you've ever seen "Shaun of the Dead", you'll understand me when I say- it's what I think of when I picture our local version of the Winchester.

You get all walks of life and no pomp and circus. The drinks are stiff- the food is reliably the same every time. If you want to socialize, people will talk to you. If you want to be left alone, people will leave you to it!

If you've had a rough go and you need to take that out on the bartender by telling him his eggs aren't to your par that day- you might hear some choice words back.

Usually sports are playing on tv but music is too and it's a great place too. If you're a bit introverted and like the idea of being around other people but without the pressure that comes along with that- this is your place too!

They have a ton of pull tab options and a pool table.

I really love their chicken fried steaks!! Biggest around. They will cook a true sunny side up egg though- so if you aren't into a bit of goo, then make sure to order over easy instead.

At night, I am crazy for their cordon blue bites. They are a fantasy in a fried ball form that pops cheese sauce in your mouth. 😍Their wings are great too.

My husband loves the fried gizzards, but I let him eat them on his own!!

Portions are big all around. Service is extended family style- which I think works to their credit. Do you at the...

Check your bill We got charged $1.00 for something we did not order. When I asked the server what it was for, she said, “Oh I noticed that, too. I’m not sure why it added that charge.” (The sandwich I ordered had cheese included.). Then, I asked her if she would please remove the $1 charge and she replied, “We cannot remove any charges on a bill. We only have a $9 discount.“ When we were leaving, we heard the bartender (?) say to the server something to the effect of “It’s only $1 but at the end of the year it adds up.”

We have been long time, customers of this restaurant, but something fishy is starting to go on. This is the second time we had bogus charges on our bill. When we ate there last month, the female waitress with the short brown hair brought us the wrong dipping sauces (2 blue cheese instead of 2 ranch). We asked her to please bring us ranch dip. Then we noticed on our bill that she charged us $.50/ea for ALL the dip sauces. That was a total of $2 extra! We have never been charged for dip sauce… Even on our bill today, we did not get charged for any of our sauces. I’m fed up with getting ripped off from this place. There’s way better restaurants in Edmonds who...
