I'm not a local so was probably treated as such. The bartender tonight was very rude and inexperienced. Was not familiar with the beer selection on tap. Orderded an appetizer then 10 minutes later ordered a pizza. Pizza came first. Too bad for her, I usually tip up to 100% around the holiday season. Pizza was very good. Beer was cold. They need to work on attitude and customer service.
Family atmosphere in a pub setting before 9. Good portion size, great burgers, and Mac cheese that's not from s box for the kids. Family of 3 can eat for about 20 before tip.
8 of us arrive at 8pm. The crowd is fairly small as its Sunday (18th May). She took our order for drinks and food since we all were ordering sandwiches. I was the only one ordering a beer (pitcher). The soft drinks came about ten minutes later. I didn't received my beer as I saw it sitting on the bar counter till 820. I did see the waitress take not one but two other customers orders before I had to contact her about my pitcher sitting there on the bar... she then went and got the new orders drinks and then went and got mine. 9pm.. food still hasn't arrived although the waitress did keep checking in on the others drinks. She never asked if I would like a new frosted mug. 915 food arrives. The fries were cold, three of us ordered the French Dip and the au jus was cold. I specifically asked for my fries to be really crispy...they weren't. I did get a new frosted mug as I had to request it. The Pro's of the meal 1. Good price 2. She was polite 3. Clean 4. The did get the food order correct. The Negatives 1. Waitress needs more training. Its not her fault if the food is cooked wrong or bad... it is her fault if its cold. 2. More attentiveness to the customers by the other staff. 3. No reason for taking one hour to serve eight sandwiches!. Would I recommend this to some one. I will hold my opinion on that until I go back and see if there's any improvement. Ironically most restaurants do not read their own reviews and that is probably why this waitress wasn't trained...
The food has been fantastic every time. The Peanut City Sticky Burger is always one of my favorites. Service is never bad, but it's never been that great either. The wait staff is always polite, but typically inattentive after the initial orders have been placed. Knowing that ahead of time I always enjoy my visits there.
My buddy and I ate here once and later said that if we lived closer to its location, this pub would be our Maclaren's.
