Come for a book club meeting, they let us use the middle room area…read more Service was great. Nick handled this woman in our group like a champ! She can't have gluten. She ordered a salad. I'm 99% sure it didn't have croutons buried in the middle, but she freaked out that her fork hit something crunchy and hard. Was most likely bacon but whatever. (The bacon was cooked too crispy perfection visually). She lost it. He didn't argue and had her another one made with the bacon on the side. Kuddos to him. While I fully sympathize with her concerns with gluten, she didn't fish out an actual crouton to show. The 3 cheese burger is absolutely a must! Personally I recommend salt and vinegar chips with it... Great mocktail options and they were happy to make anything off menu for me! Parking is tough but 100000% recommend checking this place out.

Nestled is an old neighborhood, surrounded by huge trees and beautiful flowers, has an ambiance that surpasses anything I have ever seen. It's a neighborhood bar, full service, with great beers on tap and great drinks. I spent two weeks in Tacoma with my sister, and we visited almost everyday. I met Jessie and Camille amongst sweet people. So very friendly. Their food options were special. I loved their simple hamburger and adored the dill pickle dip, I went home that night and found a similar recipe and made it for a party at my niece's. If you ever get up there, please find the time to stop by. I swear you won't regret it. This bar was established in 1935!!

I'm a gumbo girl through and through, and my guy is all about crawfish étouffée, so this was basically made for us. Everything hit the spot in that comforting, rich, "yes, I will need a nap after this" kind of way. And we cannot skip the homemade moon pies--absolutely worth every calorie. No regrets. None. Also, the hurricane drink? Yummy doesn't even cover it. Let's just say it matched the whole vibe perfectly. If this pop-up becomes permanent, I'll be first in line.

On our most recent visit we tried the nachos, and they were honestly the best nachos I've ever had. The cheese sauce is amazing- not some gross canned stuff. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, and the ingredients are layered throughout so you're not stuck with a bunch of plain chips. It feels silly to be gushing about nachos, but they are next level. It's not cheap, but well worth it!

Dirty Oscar's Annex - Disappointing Experience on 6th Ave…read more We came in as a group of seven, and unfortunately the experience went downhill quickly. First, the service was poor and disorganized. One of my friends arrived early and ordered her drink, but it didn't arrive until after I had already received mine -- even after she asked twice. We also had to wait far too long for basic things like napkins and forks because we weren't given enough for everyone. The most frustrating part, however, was the automatic gratuity. At no point were we informed -- verbally or on the menu -- that parties of 6 or more are charged an automatic 20% gratuity. We only discovered it by carefully reviewing our checks. And to make matters worse, the so-called "20%" was not actually 20%. It came out to 24.1%. When we questioned it, the person who said she was the manager claimed "the computer does it automatically." We are a table full of teachers -- and the math was definitely not mathing. We understand and respect gratuity for large parties, especially when the service is great or when it's clearly communicated. But charging more than the stated percentage crosses from poor service into a billing integrity issue. To add to the frustration, there is also a credit card processing fee, which again was not clearly disclosed on the menu and only appeared at the bottom of the receipt. This absolutely should be visibly posted before ordering. They did offer to refund some of the charges, but we declined because it would have taken additional time and we had an event to get to -- and more importantly, it doesn't resolve the core issue of lack of transparency. She also gave each of us a $10 gift card, but again, that doesn't resolve the issue. And honestly, what good is a gift card if we don't plan on returning because of such an awful experience? Overall, this was a very disappointing visit, and not one we would recommend based on service and transparency alone.

The bread was a little overcooked. Cod n Chips was not the best choice either. The crust was soggy and the fries were not freshly cooked. My bill was $45 including tax. Maybe it's not a take out type of eatery. Service was okay, no appreciation on our purchase. Ambiance was great though it was empty when I stopped by for my takeout. Will try other joints in the future.

I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and side of potato salad and let me tell you: the burger was so good! Very worth it. And the potato salad was so good I almost ordered a huge tub of it to go - it's homemade with chunks of potato in it and all the right seasonings. I will make my way back to Meconi's as much as I can thank you!
