    Coney dog special and John's chips and dip.
    Michelle O.

    Went in for a bit of a late lunch. This place was recommended to us. Not a bad place. Crowded for a late Saturday afternoon. Their outside patio was crowded. People having fun. Inside they have lots of TV's and it's larger than it looks. They sat us right away. Happy hour on Saturdays is till 3p so we were right in the heart of it. We got 2 coneys and the John's chips and dip. It was perfect. Not too much and just enough. The coneys were average size. They were decent. The chips were really good . Both on special so can't beat it. Our server was nice. She checked on us. They had some drink specials and other happy hour items it was good. I'd go back. No complaints. Prices good cuz we did the specials. Overall no issues. Nice find. And in the plaza with them there are tons of food choices so it's nice to find one that is good.

    Chicken Pot Pie

    We had dinner and drinks at John's Bar. They have Happy Hour specials on beers that offer a small discount on drinks. They have a good selection of beers, particularly IPAs. The Tuesday special was the chicken pot pie and salad for $12.99. The salad was fresh and a good size. The pot pie was excellent with a nice crust and thick gravy. It had the usual vegetables perfectly cooked with chunks of chicken. We sat outside since it was a beautiful night but seating is a little limited. We had Sharon for a server and she was wonderful, great service with a sense of humor.

    California BLT

    Atmosphere: The feel of the bar was nice. Not super loud or filled with sketchy people. Clean and comfortable. The workers seem to have a lot of fun together. I believe my server's name was Tom. I totally would have hired that guy. He was super friendly, gave honest opinions about the food when we had questions. Food: We started off with the fried pickles. They were very good. Almost like a super crispy tempura. Although, if you have teeth issues or troubles with crispy food, probably not the fried pickles for you. Tom also brought up some bread and butter as well. I asked how the French Onion soup was and he said it was "The best on the planet" so naturally, I had to try it. It was absolutely delicious. Not the best I ever had but I would definitely eat it every time I go there no doubt. My friend got the California BLT. It came out so good-looking that I had to order a a chicken sandwich too. Unfortunately, mine was SUPER soggy, which I was surprised about given the fact that I got the mayo on the side and it was grilled chicken, not fried. So I am unsure why my bottom bun was soaked. Overall: The service was amazing, food was amazing as well (minus the soggy bun which is why it was 4 stars and not 5). I would definitely go back and chow down on some more French Onion soup and try out some of the other menu items.

    WOW. Where to start...Okay so first of all, delicious, creative, well seasoned food is really hard…read moreto come by, especially in this area, but good fortune knocks it out of the park every-time. This was our second time at good fortune and we were just a pleased as we were the first time. There are two types of restaurants, some that feel they have to go over the top on decor and atmosphere to make up for the fact that their food is mediocre and others that let there food speak for itself. Good fortune is the latter. It definitely has a fun retro vibe, but the cocktails and food are what you come for. First, let's discuss their old fashioned. It is the perfect blend of smooth and sweet. Also- their ice cubes are top notch. If you're thinking this doesn't make a difference in a drink, think again. They are clear as glass and do not melt quickly, so you can enjoy your drink without it getting watered down as you sip. This was the second time we ordered the party eggs and they were incredible. When they brought them out I felt myself become a little disappointed when I saw they were not a traditional deviled egg like they had been in the past. But as soon as I took a bite I quickly recanted that notion and was pleasantly surprised. The eggs were pickled perfection with a nice touch of spice and crunch on top. The asparagus was everything. Tender with lightly crisped florets, topped with a beautifully seasoned harissa and herb dressing. This creative approach to a traditional vegetable dish made it a stand out. The loaded potatoes, y'all! A great blend of hearty, starchy and creamy. The creme fraiche added class and sophistication to this crowd pleasing dish. Bread Pudding- Roman (head chef of good fortune) told us to think of it as the offspring of bread pudding and monkey bread. He wasn't wrong. It was the custardy goodness that you want from bread pudding topped with the salty, carmely goodness of monkey bread, served a la mode. It got better with every single bite as the icecream begin to melt into the dish. All this to say, GO HERE!!!! The staff is incredibly kind and personable. And the food is exactly what this area needs. It feels nostalgic but inventive at the same time. I can't wait to go back to try their next seasonal menu. Way to go good fortune. This is our new favorite place.

    My friend and I we're looking to try some place different. We fell upon good fortune and boy were…read morewe fortunate. We were greeted warmly and that warmth and attention continued through the evening. We enjoyed delicious uniquely crafted foods like loaded potato with crème fraiche, mixed pickles, meatballs aji verfe broth, and chicken drummies. Not typical desert people everything else was so delicious we couldn't pass up the scrumptious puff pie cake. We finished every bite! Yum!!! We also enjoyed drinks made to perfection. We plan returning and sharing our find with friends.

    Atmosphere: First time I was here, it was on a work outing and we were just outside on the patio…read moredrinking and hanging out. It was a very fun atmosphere out there. They have an outside bar for the patio and games. Just a feel-good place to chill out and drink and have fun. So my partner and I decided we would come back and try the food. When we got there, we got seated a table right by a keno TV which was good for us. The waitress was definitely having a bad day because she was just... rude. Very rude. Just had an attitude about her. Food: We started with a whiskey to share and a soda. (During our visit, we tried 2 different sodas because we thought there was something wrong with the bib of the first one but nope, their soda just has a very weird taste to them). We both ordered the burger special which was a build-your-own 1/4 pound burger. It came with chips or you could upgrade to fries or something else. My partner got her burger and upgraded to fries and also wanted a side of cheese to dip them in. I got my burger just regular, no side upgrade. Food came back and our toppings were absolutely messed up. Not one of our burgers were correct in the toppings but not wanting to bother our waitress or our food to get cold, we just traded some toppings, picked some other ones off and tried to eat some of it before it got cold. My burger was burnt to a crips. There was actually a piece of the edge that I tried that was so rock hard, it could not be eaten. I also was also given fries instead of chips. It was FORVER before anyone checked up on us which wasn't our waitress (pretty sure it was maybe a bartender or something). I told her about the fries because I didn't want to be charged the upgrade price. That's the first time the waitress came to check up on us. She came to the table, questioned me about if I ordered fries because by her annoyed and rude attitude, she was sure that I did. We asked for the bill. She looked at my burger with 2 small bites taken out of it, asked if I wanted a box (in which i replied "No") and walked away. Didn't ask if the burger was OK, nothing. But with her attitude, I wasn't going to make a stink over a cheap burger special. The only things good about the experience was the whiskey and the fries. We may come back for drinks and keno or maybe with work buddies but can't say I was a fan of the food or the service. But hopefully wecan try it again and hope to revise the review and say our minds are totally changed. We are going to chalk it up to a bad day. I hope her day got better.

    Hi! We went tonight and we got yelled at by the bartender…read moresaying we were rude for leaving a 2 dollar tip on a 9 dollar tab these girls are money hungry and are willing to yell at you and gang up on u with their bartender friends over it, our server yelled at us for getting angry bc she should be grateful rather than yelling at us A TIP IS GRATITUDE NOT MANDATOR!!! BUT ID U DONT TIP MORE THAN U SHOULD U GET YELLED AT BY THE BARTENDERS!
