Terrible from the very start. Assuming it would be you're first and last time visiting the safari bar know that no one will greet you YOU WILL SEAT YOURSELF. Though there is no sign and no one up front to inform you of this. The decor is brutal and horrifying (just not my style). There are mounted animal heads from all over the world if you're into that kinda thing. Eventually a plain clothed server with a electronic device for ordering will come to you're service. The idea of using these devices is just awful. They take all personality and interaction out of a restaurant experience. I assume the idea is to save time but time saved is not worth what is lost. The service is slow and uninformed. I had a french dip sandwich. the bread wasn't terrible, the meat tasted bland and frozen and the au jus was absolutely disgusting. It had some seasonings and herbs of some kind settled at the bottom, not even strained out. The jus was uneatable, the smell alone was enough to ruin any appetite. The star of the dish was the crinkle cut potato chips right out of the bag. I couldn't have been more disappointed. The menu is plain, no originality what so ever. Nothing Fresh or seasonal. Its mostly frozen food products reheated and served. If you're thinking of going to the safari bar don't waste you're time and money. You would be better off going to the grocery store and getting a frozen dinner and cooking it yourself. Unless you're just dying to see hundreds of animals mounted...
Read moreWe were out with a large group of friends on motorcycles. This ride was planned weeks in advance. We had called the Safari Bar 2 weeks ago in order to see if reservations were required, and we were told they were not. We called again 3 days ago and were again told reservations were not required and motorcycles were welcome. When we arrived this afternoon the bartender was kind but the single waitress was rude. We were told that they didn’t have the staff to serve us nor did they have enough food. To clarify, this was not a group of dirty rowdy bikers but a group of young and middle aged couples who enjoy riding and the men specifically are organized as a 501(c)3 organization and are well known in the Mercer County and surrounding areas for their charitable works. To say the Safari Bar will not be getting any of our future business nor any positive recommendations from our group would be an...
Read moreThe food wasn’t bad, but it was definitely not even close to being worth the price. The thing that really just blows my mind is the “self pay” computer up at the bar? I don’t believe a customer should have to walk up to the bar and self pay for a meal at any restaurant, especially if your bill is $79 bucks. I would expect to pay like that in a cafeteria pushing a tray, not in what’s supposed to be an up scale restaurant. It’s very unlikely that we will go back. It’s unfortunate cause we used to really like...
