The service, specifically from the bartender, was extremely unwelcoming and rude. I initially came in for takeout, but decided to sit down at a table to look over the menu. Instead of being greeted or assisted, I was met with an unfriendly attitude and uncomfortable stares. When my partner asked for a large glass of water while we decided on our order, he was given a very small glass, which felt dismissive and unprofessional. It's unfortunate because the food itself isn't bad, but the customer service completely takes away from the experience. The restaurant was nearly empty, which honestly reflects the level of service we received. Based on multiple visits with the same issue, I would not recommend this place. A more welcoming and customer-focused staff would make a huge difference.

I understand mistakes happen, but the response was disappointing. The issue isn't the $1--it's receiving an incomplete meal and being offered virtually no resolution for it

I went into the bar area to relax, have a drink, and enjoy some food. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. Erika L., the bartender, was very rude and appeared to have an attitude while I was placing my order. I was interrupted and cut off in the middle of giving my order, which ultimately resulted in my order not being entered correctly. When my drink was brought to me, it was placed down in what felt like an unnecessarily aggressive manner. When Erika realized the order was incorrect, she rolled her eyes. I asked her if she was okay because of the way I was being treated, and she responded that the bar had just opened and then walked away from me. At that point, I asked to speak with a manager because I wanted to address the situation appropriately. I was told that the manager was off and that there was no manager there. As a longtime customer, I found that extremely disappointing, especially when I was trying to address a serious customer service concern. What made this experience even more upsetting is that I could not help but feel that the way I was treated may have been influenced by the color of my skin. I cannot say what was in the employee's mind, but the treatment I received left me feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. I honestly do not believe I would have been treated the same way if I were Hispanic. If the bar had just opened and there were limitations on service, all that needed to be said was that the bar was not fully ready or that service would begin shortly. I would have understood. There was no reason for me to be treated with an attitude or made to feel unwelcome. After more than 10 years of being a customer, this experience has completely changed how I feel about returning. I believe every customer deserves to be treated with basic courtesy and respect, regardless of their race or background. I should never have to feel like a server does not want to serve me. This was a horrible and deeply disappointing experience. Unfortunately, after being a loyal customer for so many years, I will no longer be returning.

This place had the most racist employees ever! I called a few times to place an order and no one answered. I arrived and another African American male came in a few seconds later asking why no one was answering and that he waited over an hour for someone to answer the phone. The lady ignored him and told him to shut up. I spoke up for him and we both asked for a manager. She lied and said no one was here. The establishment is disgusting and doesn't follow Covid-19 guidelines at all. The lady was extremely rude to all of her African American customers and only spoke Spanish when we came around. This business needs to be moved out of this AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY and moved somewhere else. SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES!!! The food was disgusting and I seen a few roaches on the kitchen counter by the cooks. One cook smashed the bug and didn't wash his hands. read more
