Peck & Pour, World Class Wings and Beer — Restaurant in Norfolk

Just got done eating here and the only reason this place doesn't get three or more stars is because of the awful service. I'm a very simple person when I go out to eat: acknowledge that I walked into your establishment and say hello, bring silverware and napkins, refill my drink when it's empty or about to be empty, and make some friendly conversation along the way (maybe tell me what's good on the menu, ask how everything is once or twice, and say goodbye). When I first came in I see the sign that says sit wherever you'd like so I pick a table and it takes about five to ten minutes for someone to even acknowledge me. When she does she walks over to my table and puts the specials and a menu on the table and walks away. Comes back about a minute later and rudely asks what I want to drink (not what can I get to drink for you literally what do you want to drink). Doesn't even talk to me the entire time I'm looking at the menu and comes back and just says what do you want to order (at least say hello how are you doing and maybe suggest a thing or two on the menu) but she seemed like she was more preoccupied with arguing with the other people working there openly in front of people and believe me I heard them arguing not in the back or in the kitchen but out in front of the bar (which is completely unprofessional). Not to mention she was constantly just standing there on her phone. Now the only reason this place doesn't get a lower rating is really because of the good because that was delicious. The sauce was great, the wings were awesome, and the fries (which places rarely get right anymore) were fantastic. The food was the only saving grace to this place. By the way maybe someone should tell her to NOT bring the check before I'm even done with my meal. It's rude and makes me feel rushed like I'm bothering her with my service. I would like to come back her with a couple of friends but I won't be recommending the place to anyone because of the god awful...

The service was good, but the food was only so-so. I originally wanted to get wings, but something else ended up catching me eye. Now I wonder if I should have stuck with the wings, since those are a more classic "bar food". The onion rings appetizer had generally good flavor (a little well-done around the edges), but they didn't come with any dipping sauce, which I thought was an odd choice, so I asked for BBQ to dip them in.

I was excited about the chicken and waffles entree, but it did not impress me at all. The chicken tenders reminded me of generic frozen ones you could get anywhere. The waffle was quite delicious, but because both components were not there, the dish as a whole fell flat.

The 6 fried Oreos for dessert were quite tasty (although they were a bit stingy with the whipped cream that came with them, only providing a tiny cup) but honestly, I would have been happy to get only 4 since they are very rich and large and we couldn't finish the plate between the two of us.

The ambiance was nice as well, but I don't think my husband and I are the target audience for a place like this. They seemed to have a very extensive drink menu, which is lost on us since neither of us drink.

The other folks in there at the time seemed to be enjoying themselves, so it could have just been out...

Overall strange experience: -Constant theme of running out of super basic items: --Ran out of water glasses, so I was served a foam cup. -- Ran out of their waffle fries. -Their beer "list" is a giant chalk board they bring to the table, which doesn't give any indication of beer type (i.e. left to google every craft beer they have on the menu to know what it is) -Time to pick up check at end of service was easily 15 min -We were offered a to-go water cup? I understand somewhat if I was wasted, but one drink doesn't fit the bill. This offering just plain awkward especially for sober folks.

General comments: -Jalapeño poppers were clearly frozen and thrown in a deep frier (jalapeño inside was mushy). Not expecting the world for 5 bucks, but put some pride into it and sell for an extra couple bucks. -Wings were mediocre compared to other spots in the area, which isn't great when chicken is your namesake. -Restaraunt has no host or greeter to speak of. You kinda stand around a minute before someone tells you to take whatever seat. Saving grace is that this place is cheap. A $10 six wing basket with fries is a good deal.

Seems like a local hangout, which is fair enough, but it needs some help to extend a customer base beyond...
