Asian Zinc and Desert Heat. The restaurant was pretty calm and clean. My group went around 2pm. The service was just very slow, and from what our waiter mentioned, it was due to there only being 2 cooks. It took us over 30 mins to get our food. I'm sure this place is normally quick paced and on par, but this trip just wasn't it.

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon (2pm). we were seated quickly, and the waitress seemed a bit…read moreimpatient to get our drink and food order. After that she was pretty absent. my beef dip was dry and tough, though the onions and mushrooms were plentiful. My wife's liver and oinion was in a sea of thin juice , not a gravy. the butter portions (for the baked potato) were dropped into the juice, creating a mess to handle. my iced tea sat empty for most of the meal, she never came back. Overall, the claim of the owner's long and exceptional culinary experience was not evident here. He either lost his passion or is not actually here, ever. Basicly an overpriced Diner. Maddingly the waitress held onto the credit card machine and stared at the screen while I tried to pay. Is that intimidation for a higher tip, since the machine starts the suggested options at 20%? one and done, other options nearby.

We even went together probably almost ten years ago and loved it! So we were in the area tonight and decided, of course, to hit up Boylan Heights for dinner, remembering it as fondly as we did. But I ended up...really disappointed by this visit. First of all, it was super busy, very crowded, and very loud - that's kinda to be expected out of a college sports bar though. The servers were all doing their best, and everybody was really nice! But then I ordered one of their pre-mixed drinks from the bar, and had to end up asking after it about 20 minutes later when it hadn't made it to my table. I was told it got lost in the mix of everything, which I do understand because as I mentioned before, it was busy. So I just said that's cool, I don't need it, I'll just have a root beer instead. 10 minutes later and the server comes to the table with lightly-tinted soda water, very apologetically telling me that's what's coming out and they need to change the bag. I'm autistic and overstimulated at this point so I just say no, water is fine. And that was a little ehh, but the food was absolutely the most disappointing part of this experience. I ordered a burger with bacon and cheese and their curly fries on the side...the fries were barely warm, and not a single element of the burger was seasoned. It was offensively bland, and on top of that, the bacon was floppy. Burger was undercooked as well (menu says they're cooked to medium well, it was about medium rare). I took 2 bites and was totally done. It's really a shame because you can tell the quality of the ingredients is good, but the execution was just kind of embarrassing. Like...salt and pepper the meat at least, please, c'mon. The milkshake was pretty good, though. This place is an institution, but I think it's leaning a little too hard on that reputation and has let the quality of its food slip.

They gave us menus and scantron-like menus to circle in the build-your-own burgers & bowls. That was pretty cool. I chose my chicken sandwich and gave it to the waitress. My sister ordered the boozy milkshake and my niece ordered a regular one. They really liked them! My chicken sandwich was so good! I got the curly fries with it and they were super delish too. My sister got loaded tots which were sooo good. I only with they had pickled jalapeño for them instead of fresh. The fresh were just too much (& I love spice). All in all - solid place to eat!

But the food has been consistently underwhelming. The steak frites was especially disappointing: overcooked and drowned in a mustard-heavy sauce that totally overpowered the dish. While the flavors of other items are decent, both visits the food came out barely warm. For the prices they charge, that's frustrating. Also, there's an extra fee for using a credit card, but nowhere is that mentioned -- not on the menu or in the restaurant, which feels pretty sneaky. Great service and atmosphere, but the food and pricing quirks leave me on the fence.

Our second order of loaded NACHO cheese with Steak - they ran out of nacho cheese sauce. It was 7:45pm. Guess what, NO STEAK. Realized that later. 3rd time asking where the food was I was told no nacho cheese left. I said our 80 year old members were hungry and wanted Nacho cheese. I told them to cancel the order. They said they can't cancel the order as it was being prepared. I said what we ordered was NOT what they were going to be what we ordered. VERY VERY reluctantly they refunded the order in cash. They had an outdoor area where we were. 8-12 going children were rubbing around and screaming, running THRU the round tables we pushed together. IF THIS SOUNDS GOOD TO YOU, HAVE AT IT. I'LL NEVER GO BACK. Oh yeah in our party, others orders never showed up but some did. What a joke!

Not just that... we had to open a tab with him at the bar for our iced teas and then walk to another window to order food (on a separate bill) and then pick up our food at another window. I didn't ask if we were required to bus the tables ourselves when we were done. Problem is, I'm in a walking boot and that's just not possible. The bartender just shrugged so we left. I'm not sure if that's the norm here or we hit a day they were under staffed as we're out of towners. Either way, I know it's an incomplete review, but it was an incomplete experience, so this is the best rating I can offer.

It was a Saturday night and our group of 7 wandered in and found a table. We were waited on right away and our server was awesome. Drinks came out quickly, but it took a while for our food and apps because it was PACKED so we expected it. Our server was right on top of our empty drinks so no worries. When we finally got the food, it was typical bar type food. Some of us loved our meals and some of us not so much. It also turns out there was a band that night so we hung out to see them play and I am sooooo glad that we did! If you ever get the chance to see Dry River Band, go immediately! They were fantastic and it's easy to see why they have such a following in the area. My only complaint is that there is only one bathroom for women so the line was 6 deep at one point. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our visit and will be stopping back the next time we're passing through.
