The Nook — Restaurant in Washington Township

DUMPSTER FIRE in every sense of the expression. The young staff was clearly working hard in the absence of leadership.

Our party of 6 arrived at 6:50 for a 7:00pm dinner reservation with the added benefit to enjoy the entertainment of our friend’s band. The dining room was not yet open. Not a big deal to wait 10 minutes. At 7pm the owner informed us that the dinning room would not open until 7:30. Hmmm?? Why accept a 7pm reservation when the dining room does not open until 7:30? He then sat us in the bar room. Again, not a big deal. Ten minutes later the owner returned to move our party into the dining room.

Confused yet? We were. Then he wasn’t sure if he sat us at the correct table. Thankfully a waitress told the owner to just let us sit there and she will make any adjustments.

We placed our drink and appetizer order. These came out promptly. At 7:30 we placed our dinner order. Approximately 8:30 half of the 6 dinners arrived. At 9:15 our waiter returned to inform us that the owners got involved in food running and delivered our order to another table. He informed us that the remainder of our order was being remade.

At 9:45pm, 2+ hours after placing our order we decided that we were patient enough. We looked for the waiter, who had since abandoned our table to become a bar-back. We looked for a floor manager and the original two owners we met earlier in the night. No one could be found. Short of entering the kitchen, there was no one there to cancel our order or get a check to pay our tab for one appetizer and 6 drinks. Yes, we only had one round of drinks in nearly 3 hours because no one came to service our table. Instead we went to the bar for drinks. We left a gracious amount of cash on the table to cover the limited consumption...

We were lazy tonight and ordered take out. I got the turkey club with fries, and a side of onion rings to share. My wife got the steak burger sliders with fries. We also ordered a second steak burger sliders for tomorrow.

I’d like to add that we ordered wings and burgers here once before. The wings were horrible, and the burgers were not something I would order again. Tater tots were good though. Anyway, we thought maybe it was a bad night, so we gave them a second chance…

The turkey club was very disappointing. They made a cheap small turkey deli meat sandwich, threw a piece of bacon on it and slid a third piece of bread in the middle. I felt like I was literally eating 3 pieces of bread with mayonnaise…that I added. They even forgot the cheese. The worst turkey club I ever saw. This is usually my sandwich of choice anywhere I go… so I’ve had a lot of them. The sliders were dry , overcooked and tasteless. I’m not sure why the fries, that came with the club, were a different type that the ones that came with the sliders…. But that’s not a big deal. The thinner ones had a better taste. The onion rings were decent though.

So we will not be ordering from here again. I just wanted to leave my review so I would save any others the disappointment. Really bad quality. I’ve never actually been to this place, maybe it’s just a bar that doesn’t really specialize in food. My wife suggested it so we...

Nice place. Very roomy, nice people, awesome waitstaff. Entertainment daily. The food on the other hand needs heavy improvement.

I understand they have overhead costs for their property but, $13.50 for a chicken parm sandwich which consists of a frozen chicken patty, a few spoons of marinara that was dried on top with a small sprinkle of cheese on a brioche roll with fries, pickle, and slaw seems to be a bit much. A pizzeria would have charged you nearly the same for a more enjoyable sandwich. Save your money, and eat at Wawa down the road before you go. The other thing that bothered me quite heavily was the fact that they charged extra tax to the bill which I've only seen another bar/restaurant do. They charge for food tax, and alcohol tax on top of regular tax for the bill. Why not just say TAX and add it all together?! Why show the difference?

Other than that, the place isn't all that bad. If they improve on their food selection a bit, maybe hire a different cook, this establishment could be a really great...
