Well first off, to see the way "Mojos Sports Grille Owner" has responded to some of the reviews is highly unprofessional and unfortunately I agree with some of them. THIS IS NOT A FAKE REVIEW
I have NEVER left a review on a restaurant's page because I always give the benefit of the doubt, but not this time. My family and I went here for the first time last night June 24, 2023, for my dad's 59th birthday. It was his place of choice. He really wanted to try it! We rarely go out, so we invited family and had a BIG TOP table of 12. When we first walked in, the atmosphere was dead for a typical sports bar on Saturday night, but we gave them a chance. The host greeted us at the door and told us to "just walk & sit at the back table." I asked her "Do we walk by ourselves?" and she said yes. Never showed us the way, smh but we found it. It was a long table and the bar stools were very high & uncomfortable to sit on, especially for 50-60yr olds. Hurt our Azz'es all night!! Our waiter greeted us and took our drink orders. I ALWAYS drink a cup of water first, but it was horrible. Totally disgusting unfiltered tap water with a bad aftertaste.. as well as the pink lemonade. By now, my mood was changing. The menu was limited to finger foods, fried foods, and what seem like fast foods. No real meals or plates with side dishes or vegetables. This really aggravated me, I IMMEDIATELY wanted to leave!! No pasta, no rice, no mashed potatoes, nothing sustainable. No birthday song, no drink menu, no dessert menu, limited healthy options, (besides salads and wraps), and "only green beans" as I was told. I know it's a "sports bar" but EVERYONE had a hard time choosing what to eat because the options were poor. I've worked as a waitress at Bars, Clubs, & Lounges, and I'm a Chef.. I've worked in kitchens, so I NEVER complain when I go out because I know how it is!
I felt totally sad & embarrassed because my dad was not enjoying himself. Said his beer was "stale". One time he asked, "where is the music?" and even aplogized for picking this place. Yes, ppl were watching the LSU game, but besides that, the "party atmosphere" was terribly dull and boring. I ordered chicken tenders & fries which is a LAST RESORT choice for me, but the food get a pass. It was basic. Fries were well seasoned, toast & gravy was good, tenders Ok. It was the only dish I saw worth the money for the amount. My daughter and mom ordered it also & kept saying the tenders were too big and flavorless. That dish could feed 2 ppl alone if they weren't so huge. 3 orders/13.99ea ($42), could easily be 6 orders/12.99 ($78) with smaller portions. We could only eat one tender each, the burgers didn't come with fries, the tacos are served in singles, and the bacon mac & cheese was not worth it. MAJOR TURN-OFFS! I joked and asked "are they hiring" because At this point the whole table was Complaining about something!! The waiter was New & alone, running around getting frustrated and aggresive. It was only 3 servers total. I couldn't help but think about a RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE (tv show) revamp because this place need improvement across the board. It's totally necessary!! We almost walked out! I didn't come to be a critic, I wanted to enjoy myself, but we all agreed that we will NEVER return, recommend, or revisit.. not to mention how dark the place look from the outside as if they are closed or shut down, so cars are constantly driving by. The complimentary icecream for my dad was nice, but they gave him music when it was time to go, too late, we were beyond Over it!!. :( MOJO'S, you are losing money!!! My ticket of $15 is usually around $50. We would have paid WAY MORE for a great experience and sadly have to redeem ourselves next week!!!
"The customer is always right" Listen to the PEOPLE! Please invest in yourself to improve your establishment.. (host, service, menu, food, atmosphere, comfort & hospitality, drinks, specials, etc). 1 star, MUST...
Read moreVisited MoJo's last night. I am from out of town and my daughter and son-in-law suggested this place. It was a very busy night due to football playoffs and the fights. We had an admittedly new waiter. Our orders were not that difficult or so I thought. My son-in-law did not receive his complete taco order and after a few attempts just told the waiter to forget it. I had asked for no croutons on my Cesar salad and spent my time picking them out. Another cesar at the table also had croutons which they asked for so there was no mistake with getting the wrong wrong one. All the waiter could say is, well there was supposed to be one without. Okay but there wasn't. I ordered potato skins which I had to ask for/remind the waiter of 3 times. I finally received them when we were all done eating. He explained that the kicthen had a mix-up. I won't even go into how getting a shot of vodka worked for out for our friend. We actually waited 30 minutes to get our bill at which point the young man had to manually write out who ordered what so that he could split the bill accrodingly. That was 30 minutes wasted at a table with no new business; a loss for you and the next person who would a waited on the table. With that being said, I have a few suggestions: Have the new staff shadow a more experienced person until they are secure with how to place orders to eliminate errors. Work out a plan with the kitchen staff or review the "special orders" placement between wait and kitchen staff to ensure less error. Consider having staff work in sections and not assign them in the current manner. Our waiter had people on both sides and outside. It's no wonder he had difficulty keeping orders straight or had time to attend to...
Read moreIt was a pretty nice chill place! I would definitely go back. The only thing was I expected it to have music and if they did have music I couldn't hear it or it was boring. I went at about 9 at night and I didn't leave until 11:30 and the music was still almost nonexistent.I'm not sure if it was because of the Astros game that was playing or if they do it like that every Thursday night. another thing is my waitress was okay, not really good and not really bad. She took our orders and asked us if we needed any extra drinks but for some reason it seems like it was an inconvenience for us to be there. Every time she came to the table it seems like she was rushing us to leave.the first time I looked at the clock and it was only 10:30 so I asked my boyfriend what time they close and he said it wasn't until 12. By the fourth time her coming to the table I got irritated and decided to just leave. Hopefully next time I get a different waitress.
The bone-in chicken wings we had were pretty good.the chili and cheese hot dog was pretty dry. And the pretzel we got was pretty dry as well with way too much salt on it and not enough cheese on the side. other people's food looked pretty good that was passing by so I will try something...
