Playground Patio Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Galveston

UPDATE: the owner reached out to me today (Wednesday) and apologized profusely for my experience.

Myself, my 4 young children, my friend and her husband plus their daughter are visiting Galveston for the first time. We decided to try this restaurant for dinner. My friend was in line before me and ordered without a problem. As soon as he signed his receipt I was ready with my order. The lady at the register looked at me and said kitchen is closed.

Sooo good and a...

Everyone deserves an off day, I visited today and had one of my worst restaurant experiences waiting much too long for food. The manager warned us after a while that they were behind. Our order was apparently on a whole different dimension in another galaxy. The staff did their best to accommodate us and apologized many a time. Things were made right and we left full and I do understand these are unprecedented times.
