we went their on a saturday night around 7:30 at night,and the two of us ordered our dinners shortly after,and we didn't get our food until about 8:45,and my sandwich came out first,and the meat was dried up and like shoe leather,like it had been sitting their forever,the owner seemed to think that waiting forever for two entrees was acceptable,and didn't comp anything off the bill,much to our surprise,. we asked for something to snack on,and that's when the server brought out my sandwich,and asked the person I was with if she wanted some of my fries,,you would have thought they could have offered or afforded to bring us something earlier to snack on,after waiting the whole night for 2 entrees. and the owner even argued with us,saying that the wait time wasn't that bad,,we think that the server forgot to ring in our order,,what a waste of almost 40 bucks for a sandwich and the other entree,and we had to keep asking for refills on our drinks,,maybe they should get more help and a bigger kitchen,or take away some of the seating,so people don't fall asleep waiting for their food. you would have thought that the owner would not have argued with us,not very good business practice,,next time,we'll stop by somewhere else first to eat,before going to listen to the music,maybe mc'donalds.
Mixed bag Been here three times Food has always been fair to good but the first time there was a billing issue that management was prompt to fix.second time ate inside and other than it being loud it was great.Today though the wait was ridiculous.20 min before someone took our drink order.an other 55 min for our salad order to come.
No reason to love it unless you like to drink. Took 2 hours to get our food...some fried fish and chips with industrial pre made cole slaw. Fish terrible, fries terrible, cole slaw nasty out of a carton. You would think a place like this would have good food and made fresh. What restaurant with any self respect would serve cole slaw that was not made fresh? And portions...what portions? Lame for the price. Will never go there again even under gun point. The place looks cool and has a cool location...they just don't know what food is supposed to be. Wanna improve the place? Hire a chef or someone who can cook and give the customer what they pay for.............
Parking attendent very helpful. Nice waitress. Ruben ok at best. Sea food was excellant. Would go again.
