Had high expectations but just didn't make it. Sorry, Jeff, but the MOJO ain't there like your first couple of efforts.
Food is okay. Nothing special. Got the ribeye sandwich...under cooked piece of beef (yes, I asked for medium well) on a cold bun. That was it. Probably needs something else to jazz it up. Definitely not a reorder for me.
Got onion rings. Whatever. Just the regular frozens you can buy at Martin Brothers. Kind of squishy. Fast food level. Nah!
Wife got the tenderloin. Pretty bland. Definitely not memorable. Better check out some of the other local spots to see how they're doing it.
Toasted bun maybe? Crisp up the edges? Just not an award winner.
Coleslaw was good. Cornbread has dropped back a bit in taste and smaller size. I remember the originals from the first Starbecks. These aren't them.
Live music is okay, but I'd avoid those nights if you're thinking you want to converse a little. Super noisy. The young lady was pretty good but her high notes made my ears bleed. Tone down your mike. I think I heard glass breaking. And giving your life story is cool, but this isn't Nashville.
And what's with the people bussing tables? One bushy guy looked like he'd just walked over from his van down by the river and the older lady in the super tight dress (is that spandex?) should comb her hair, pick out something that doesn't accent every one of her crevices and wear some shoes that make it a bit easier to move on that slippery floor.
A couple of the younger ladies speeding around putting out fires (I'm guessing here) need to up their t-shirt size and dump the floppy gym shorts that cover...well, nothing.
Disappointed with this first visit. I know, I know. They're just getting started...blah, blah, blah. You've done this long enough to get it right even early on. The early Starbeck's were better. read more
