But would we go back? You'll have to read the review.
Returning to this building after the departure of the former restaurant was a test. Would it be better? We wanted to find out. Midafternoon on a Saturday, we arrived, not realizing the side entrance was not in use anymore, so we ventured around the building to the street facing front where the current entrance is. This is important for parking and the below HP information.
Greeted quickly, and with a smile, we were seated in one of the cleanest dining areas we've been in over the course of ?? decades. Immaculate doesn't do it justice.
A measuring tool of mine is fried pickles. They've been among my favorites since their invention in my hometown. 3 point had good, but not great fried pickles. The amount of oil in the bottom of the serving tray was excessive. However, this is nothing that an additional 0:00:30 in the drip basket wouldn't resolve, so I chalk this up to their newness.
We both ordered quite different burgers (smash) with their homemade fries. For that same number of decades, I didn't mention above, I have covered burgers, at home and out, with A-1. That's my thing. 3 point didn't have A-1 yet, and I praise the almighty they didn't. Simply, this smash burger was in the top 3 I've had across this great nation. Perfect preparation and no need for A-1 (OMG!). My wife felt her burger also ranked near the top with fresh veggies, juicy yet crispy patties, and almost a sufficient number of napkins. Their house made fries were potato perfection, and generous as well.
In my reviews I try to be fair, so I must add the following. There is no ramp close by to access the restaurant via wheelchair, but if you can get over a moderately low curb, the interior is chair friendly. The bathrooms are in need of an update, and some emptied trash barrels. Something to hold their paper towels would help as well, though I expect this too will all happen as they move forward.
Overall, we cannot wait to return. The service here was perfect, and I believe we interacted with everyone working there. I'd give these ladies and the gentleman 9.9/10. What a fantastic replacement for what was a borderline...
Read moreWas excited to see new restaurant. We were told 10 minute wait, waited half hour. Not worried was nice and warm in waiting area. Got to our table, we were right under huge airplane fan, which was super cold, and blowing cold air right down our necks. Immediately asked to move, was told will turn fan down (which they did not do). Had to put my jacket on, to keep cold breeze off my neck. Customers next to us complained about the same thing. Food was OK. We both got chicken fingers and fries. I got salt and vinegar (could not taste it at all. Jay got buffalo, ehich he stated was ok.)nothing to write home about. Atmosphere was OK. Liked Gibbs better, everyone has sports theme (not a deal breaker). Place is new, so we will give it a bit,...
Read moreOur server was friendly, prompt, and attentive, but that was about the only highlight. The food seemed hastily put together, with a lot of items that clearly came out of a freezer. I got the chicken tender platter which was fine, but the tater tots tasted like they were from the school cafeteria. My friend’s fish and chips had the flattest, thinnest, driest (and one of the saddest) looking pieces of fish I’ve ever seen. Their “house sauce” is Frank’s Red Hot and the honey mustard isn’t sweet. Beer is...
