Herb's Restaurant and Shenanigans Lounge

I wanted to like this place. The minute we walked in the old carpet had food everywhere, even under the table where the first waitress sat us. It was empty and she sat us by the bathroom that had an unpleasant smell seeping out so we moved. We reminded them to give us a menu and the second waitress was very nice. They played talk radio instead of music where the topic was about pornography and Christianity. One of the waitresses made an audible off handed comment about vibrating guest notifiers. The windows and sills were dirty, and we couldn’t escape the faint smell of sewage wafting our way, perhaps a plumbing issue. Breakfast came and it was just ok. I had asked my husband earlier if we could go somewhere else but he’s too nice sometimes. He regretted we didn’t leave sooner. I feel there is so much potential there if the two waitresses who were standing around (not ours) put some effort into cleaning the place, and the owner updated the floors, bathroom pipes, molded ceiling, etc. The outside market lights and space was cute so it has potential for sure. Maybe it used to be a great place, and I know people like the nightlife bar and karaoke at Shenanigans but the dirtiness left me too grossed out to eat. The old adage is if it’s dirty where the guests can view it, the kitchen is even worse. I wish them luck. They need a visit from Gordon Ramsey to get it in shape.
