Nick's La Cabana Restaurant — Restaurant in Spooner

First off Nick’s has combined with La Cabana, perhaps a big mistake. Our group of four ordered two appetizers. One was a three dip sampler with chips. It was delivered with two dips. The salsa was spicy but on the sweet marinara side. We could not get the server’s attention to inform him of the missing dip. Another server delivered the queso and chorizo dip without chips. She dropped it off so fast that we assumed it was the third dip. Closer observation determined that it was the queso and chorizo dip. When we finally got our server’s attention, he now notified us that the the queso for the first appetizer had to be thrown away because it was bad and they were making a new batch. It made us wonder if there was something wrong with the chorizo queso which was delivered before the regular queso dip. When the queso dip was delivered we found that the cheese wasn’t fully melted. It also took time to get our server’s attention to get the second set of chips that should have came with the second appetizer. The basket we received was much smaller and many of the chips were broken. We could have eaten more chips after having waited so long but now our food was arriving. We had fish tacos and a Chicago deep dish. The fish tacos were okay but they had some flavor that was overwhelming. The pizza looked great but was not heated through. The cheese in the center was not melted together and was cool. The sauce was too sweet for my taste and the Italian sausage was very plain. My wife asked for a pop refill and the server took her glass and never returned with the refill. We never got refills on our water and the server never asked how our meal was. We weren’t the only customers disappointed. The woman at the table adjacent to us said she couldn’t eat her meal and would never return. I personally think Nick’s jis trying to do to much with its merger with La Cabana and...

Their menu is huge, wayyyy too much food, after asking the waitress why they had such a large menu she said it was because they had merged 2 restaurants together. I joked with my girlfriend before we even order that when a restaurant has too much on their menu they can’t maintain the proper quality (my professional opinion as a kitchen nightmares enjoyer) but I said I would put that behind me and try to enjoy the food. So I decided to get the French Dip sandwich, the Au Jus sauce was not Au Jus, it was some greenish liquid with a large bay leaf in it, it also looked very separated like when you microwave chicken noodle soup, didn’t taste like Au Jus at all but whatever, overall it wasn’t all that good and I told my girlfriend I would give it a 3 star review, not bad but not great. HOWEVER less than an hour later my stomach start gurgling and I felt bad, I then started throwing up all of the food I ate, so like I said, when you have too large of a menu, you simply can’t expect to maintain the same level of quality. For those that have not seen the menu, they offer - • Breakfast (served all day) • Salad bar • Mexican food • Italian food • American food • Pies (you can turn ANY pie into a milkshake) • Sandwich sides - Hash browns, American Fries, Cajun American Fries, Crinkle Cut Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, Taylor Tots, Spicy Wedges, Curly Fries, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Tossed Salad, Cottage Cheese, Potato Salad, or a Cup of Soup. And that JUST for the sandwiches, this does not include the extensive side menu items for all the other things you can order. All in all it was a mediocre experience followed by unsanitary meat that...

Our three person family ate here, and between three meals and one appetizer, three of these four items were botched. The mozzarella sticks app arrived cold and had to be remade, the kids hotdog was microwaved and the bun was rock hard and not edible, the club sandwich had a ridiculous amount of onions, the turkey was off and had enough salt to gag a deer, the "spicy" wedges that came with the meal were not.

Add in what looks like three different restaurants menus being Frankensteinem together?

Avoid

Edit:

I want to emphasize again that the food quality was subpar regardless of what the owners of this establishment pitifully argue. The turkey was prepackaged as well as the ham on the club sandwich. The fact that they mention going to a fast food place is ironic because we would have paid less and gotten higher quality ingredients. It says an awful lot of a restaurant when they have the audacity to fight with an honest review of what was frankly disgusting food. Anyone is free to look at the other reviews I've written and know that I try and find something positive about any establishment we visit. This was appalling. The bitter response from the owners is appalling. The only thing more appalling was the stale bread they attempted to serve my child.

We paid 45.00 for that meal. Every penny was an...
