“Swing and a miss,” a common phrase in baseball, and the experience my wife and I had today. Our server responded when asked, What is the popular dish here? “We are known for our burgers. “ My wife took her up on the recommendation. I, on the other hand, was looking forward to the buffalo wings. Along with our main course items, we ordered the Mac and Cheese bites and the Brussels sprouts. Our items came out in rapid succession, which in turn created another set of challenges as we were seated at a small two-seat table. As for the food, prepare for a rollercoaster experience. The Brussels were good, then the Mac Bites arrived immediately after. My wife experienced the Mac bites first, and I can tell by her reaction that it wasn’t good. Yes, they were crispy, but the cheese had left the chat. I mean, seriously, though - these were so dry that they would suck the moisture from your mouth. Next, our main course items arrived, and we still had our appetizers on the small table. My wife’s burgers looked good, as did my Buffalo wings, but the look was deceiving. Suppose I could encourage the cooks/chefs to find the seasoning rack. The flavors were non-existent in both the burgers and the wings.. When the server asked if things were good, we responded with, 'Can we be honest?' We proceeded to inform our server exactly what we thought and provided the criticisms these dishes deserved. Our server's eyes glazed over as though our responses were not critical. She departed and redirected her attention to others nearby. My wife overheard the conversation as the server mentioned that she was 3 Monsters deep, which explains why her expression was. There are many other restaurants in the area that this place has to compete with, and I hope that our experience was isolated otherwise their game here needs...
Read moreWe've been there twice. The first time was on Wednesday when they have their half-price burger special. We got there before five to beat the afterwork crowd and it was already crowded. We ate inside where the acoustics made it very noisy. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with brussel sprouts. The burger was very good. The brussel sprouts were desiccated and flavorless. My husband had the black and blue burger and sweet potato fries which he liked. We went back the following Wednesday and got there at 4:45 and there was a line to get in. We wanted to eat outside. We got the last table not in the sun. They could not seat anyone in the tables by the sidewalk due to the heat. I was told that they are working on getting sun shades as they are obviously not making money on those empty tables. I ordered the black and blue burger this time and it was good except for next to no blue cheese. It was also a little overdone for my taste. The onion rings were hot but had a little too much batter that didn't get cooked thoroughly. They were decent though. While eating outside got rid of the din from inside, we were next to the entrance/exit of the parking lot which was noisy and had lots of traffic: not a great atmosphere for a relaxing dinner. The wait staff was excellent and were attentive to us without being overly so. The restaurant features beer from Disco Witch Brewing with a featured beer of the month which we enjoyed. One thing I would recommend, as it is a burger specialty place, ask patrons how they want their burger done. Don't make them all the same. Overall, I liked some aspects but not others. I wouldn't hurry back to spend full price for a burger and beer given the inconsistency of the food and an atmosphere that is...
Read moreThis is the second time we've tried coming here. We tried coming for lunch the first Saturday they were open. Seeing plenty of seats outside available we figured we'd get seated pretty quick. That was not the case, we were told it'd be 30-35mins and as we looked around we could see why. Maybe two tables had there food and waitresses were in the back waiting on food to come out. So, we opted to leave and try again. We came back 5/5 for lunch and were originally seated in the sun when tables with shade were available. We kindly asked to move and they had no issues with it. We started with fried pickles because let's be honest if you can't get those right you've got no hope. They were just ok. A little over salted but they weren't soggy like I've had at other places. I ordered the wings (Buffalo Medium) and my wife had the burrito bowl with ground chicken. The wings I did not know were breaded. That could have been my fault for not reading the menu but I don't think it was on there. I'm not a huge fan of breaded wings and they were just ok. Over breaded on some and tasted like a frozen chicken wing from Tysons or something. My wife said the burrito bowl was just bland. The chicken wasn't seasoned and said she makes better bowls at home. We also had fries that came out cold and some we couldn't even it they were so hard. The waitress though very nice was all over the place. All in all we will not be back anytime soon. Maybe with time they'll get some decent staff and step the food up. Great drink...
