Forty Bar & Grille — Restaurant in North Franklin Township

Only giving one star because I have to leave something. Been there a few times and really liked it before today. Husband tried to take me out today to celebrate, we were 2 people out of 5 in the bar not including the staff or daycare on the patio. Before you judge us, we totally understand and respect working parents that may not always have a sitter . Started a tab with a $100.00 bill on a Mon. afternoon, ordered 2 beers and a shot.... 30 min later had to call for the bartender to get 2 more beers. Never checked on us in the meantime . 45 min. later went to order 2 more beers hubby standing there for 5 min (totally ignored) other waitress says; you have a customer ... Other responds he's fine , he can wait he has a tab ,while she is looking for something to watch on the tv. Done at this point , don't want to serve us; fine, we will go. Top it off, she tries to short us on our change . Hubby calls her out on it , says we only had 4 beers and 1 shot . Hands her the money back and she goes back to the register and now instead of 2 twenties and some change now there is 70.00 and change and told no, it's all there . Husband looks and noticed miraculously a$ 20 has turned into a $ 50. Slow service and count your change. Never going back. Damn it , loved it was so close to home . But just can't bring ourselves to go somewhere that treats customers this way. Owners should really keep an eye on who is representing...

Went to this place for their very first “Jeep night” .... found a place to park my Jeep and show it very easily... things went down hill from that point... as my wife and I entered the bar area, the music was so loud you could hear it 50 miles away, and although it was a genre I happen to love, it was very difficult to have a simple conversation with the 4 customers in the place! After sitting at the bar for 45 minutes right in front of the taps, a bartender finally showed up and let us order drinks... (the place was NOT busy), somehow though it took another half hour to get 2 bottles of beer from the coolers in front of us. After investing almost an hour and a half, we were given menus to look at as we smelled the stale beer from the taps the whole time. One of only two waitresses was actually working trying to cover the outdoor patio and inside bar and kitchen too... “We are short staffed tonight “ was the excuse we heard as they brought our wings out to us 3 hours after we arrived!!! Short staffed on a special event night??!! Really???!!! The management sucks in the place, and it was very obvious that only one waitress gave a damn about her job and customers... we didn’t dare to order another round of beers...didn’t want to pass away before we got them... we will NEVER go back to a dump like...

Went here for lunch on Sunday. There were only about 10 people there for lunch.

Service was alright. No signs that tell you where to sit or if you have to wait to be seated. I was a little confused to see one of the waitresses sitting at the bar smoking and drinking then when more people came she started waiting on people. Also, there was about 6 people just showing up behind the bar having a drink or smoke and walking away. There was a couple that sat next to us and waited about 15 minutes to get acknowledged but the waitresses were too busy smoking and texting on their phone so they left.

Our waitress was nice and helpful selecting what to try. We had no issues when it came to service.

On to the food review. The food was good. We had the pretzel sticks which were frozen and covered in butter. The beer cheese was delicious. Pork rinds I would probably not get again there was no seasoning on them except parsley. Boneless wings were hand breaded and very good. I had the honey sauce with a side of Cajun. Boom boom shrimp was delicious. The sauce came on the side and there was about 8 pieces of hand breaded shrimp. The best dish we got was the pulled pork sliders. Toasted buns with delicious pulled pork bbq and crispy...
