Last night, the husband and I decided to try the new Groundhouse Tavern, formerly the Finish Line. Music too loud, very few tables (either 4 or 5 tables), but we were hopeful and grabbed the one open table. After a solid 5 minutes, a big guy ( I assume he is the new owner) comes by to take our drink order. I order a water, hubby orders a cocktail. A few minutes later, he comes back with the drinks and menus, so ok! We figured out what we want, and we wait, and wait, and.....wait. this whole time he's attending to all of the people walking in up to the bar, and we are not talking about a lot of people, maybe 20 total. After a solid 10 minutes, he comes back to take our food order. I order wings, hubby orders a fried chicken sandwich. Ya'll, these are FRIED foods. Hubby and I are chatting and after a while, hubby starts calling out how long the wait has been to get our food. This whole time, we've only seen one table of 4 get delivered their food. Hubby was hangry when we got there and getting hangrier....after 45 minutes, still no food. Big guy walks by our table to deliver drinks to another table and says to us "your food will be up in one minute". Another 7 minutes go by and hubby says "let's just go." He goes up to big guy and says we're going to leave, I will pay for my drink. Big guy says oh, your order is almost done, he goes back to the kitchen and comes out shaking his head, order hasn't even been dropped yet. So he rings up the drink ticket and tries to charge for 2 drinks! No, hubby says, she ordered a water. Hubby pays for the drink and we left. Big guy never apologized or anything and could have just said drink is on me, but nope. Pathetic service. We were so hopeful for this place to be good since we live just two blocks away, but this was beyond disappointing. If i could give zero or negative stars, I would. Won't be back. ***It should also be noted the number of young people coming in and big guy wasn't carding anyone. had a clear view of the bar, and not once was an ID asked for. One kid came in wearing a "Prom 2023" tshirt.... do the math! SMH. All of these kids were served alcohol. read more
