    Blackened Chicken
    Jamye F.

    There was a straw laying in the middle of the entry by the host counter. We all had to walk over it, including the waitress, to get to our table. It was still there when we left. That says a lot about this place. We ordered 2 apps- jalapeños and brussel sprouts. The jalapeños looked burned, but they were in fact tasty... and the clear winner for the meal. The sprouts were missing the pickled onion, and were VERY greasy. We ordered 3 entrees- blackened redfish, chicken sandwich, and a burger. The burger was extra well done, so very dry. The chicken sandwich was missing the garlic Parmesan sauce. When asked about it, I was told it was on it. But it was clearly not on it. There is was orange colored seasoning on the chicken, but other than that, it was completely dry (and overcooked). I added ranch from the apps to make it edible. I'm not even a big fan of ranch, but the sandwich was too dry to eat without it. The blackened redfish description said it comes with gumbo jus and corn maque choux. Sounded so good! When it arrived, the plate appeared to have the fish and rice pilaf but nothing else on the plate. We alerted the waitress about the missing ingredients, and she returned to say that those things are in the dry seasoning on the fish. We know that's just not true. I told her that Maque choux is a corn mixture. She went to the kitchen window again and they talked for a while, and then returned with the corn a few minutes later. I then asked for lemon, because the fish was so incredibly dry. You could pick the whole thing up with a fork. We told her that we didn't know how you could overcook a fish that much. When the corn came out, it was completely inedible. It tasted of cigarette ash. After everyone was done- only eating around half of our meals, the waitress came over to say that she made a mistake. She put in an order for a blackened chicken instead of blackened redfish. OK, mistakes happen. But how could her, and three people from the kitchen staff not figure out what happened. And even though we now know it was chicken, and not fish... It was probably about 5 ounces of chicken cut very thin. So even as chicken, it was overcooked to the point to be practically inedible. She asked what she could do to make it right, and although I hated to pay for anything except for the jalapeños, I just said she could take off the meal that she got incorrect. We paid for everything else and left. And yes, I still gave her a 20% tip because she seemed genuinely confused. Upon reflection, she should've seen that the plates were not even halfway eaten and offered to do more. On the way home, one of us started filling sick, and within a couple of hours two of the three of us were very sick, with one of us still struggling after a couple of days. I visit Crestview often as that's where my mother lives and we always try to support local businesses and avoid chains. But unfortunately, this type of experience is not isolated at this restaurant. It just happened to be the worst experience we've had so far at a Crestview restaurant.

    It was ok as a pub food. It was filling. A lot of salty food. Fries was nice and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The stars drop with the main entree. There's the blackended chicken breast. Description was a "generous" portion, but it was like a quarter of a chicken breast. The rice it came with was very underwhelming, overall a disappointing meal. The wings were dry to me. I could taste the burnt bits. You can see on the picture how blackended it looks. Overall, I would not go back here again for the items we got. I'd be willing to try again on other fried food, items that could be dipped in the deep fryer and call it a day.

    i've been here a few times and have had a great experience each time. sunday brunch is incredible, i had the chicken chilaquiles with red sauce and it was sooo good. i can't comment on whether it's authentic or not, but you can tell the chef knows what they're doing in the kitchen. this is upscale bar food. my boyfriend had the wings and he was happy with them (we are kinda picky about wings). also sat at the bar and it's just nice vibe. it hasn't really been too busy the times i've been there. i'm more of a cider drinker and the options available are good, they have it on tap which i appreciate because i hate cider from a can or bottle. the only downside was the loaded fries were much smaller portion than expected (for being an appetizer or bar snack for more than 1 person), it's plenty if that's your meal, and im pretty sure they're frozen fries, not handcut. either way, ill be back for good food and good bar vibes. grateful for this nice little spot here in crestview.

    The wings are superior in taste, flavor yummo

    My wife and I had never been to the crooked tail. We had heard many nice things and decided to check it out. They did not have any nonalcoholic beers. I know nobody cares about that but believe it or not there are people out there that drink nonalcoholic drinks to include beer. On that particular night, my wife had a cheeseburger which was really good and I had a New York strip with Madera sauce and everything was hot, which you don't get a lot lately but everything was hot and tasted well. Fresh vegetables, fresh salad. Everything seem to be very good . The atmosphere was very nice the night we were there somebody was playing guitar and singing he was having fun and I think the guys up there were too. We were in the back talking, but it seem like everybody there was having a great time. Our server was excellent. We never had to wait for any refills or anything like that. It wasn't very expensive. I hope you get a chance to try it yourself. You won't be disappointed.

    Ordered wings and requested/paid the extra buck for extra crispy. They weren't, and that's a turnoff for me.

    One of the best places to eat in crestview, usually good service, and sometimes music. Good cold beer.
