Let me preface this with this was the 2nd night they were open and there is always room for improvement. I will come back again, and if it is a better experience I will amend this post.
We came here very early on Valentine's Day and my party were the only ones seated in the dining room. We were met by two young waiters eager to seat us and were very charismatic and polite. As our party filtered in we were quickly brought waters, but unfortunately that was the end of the prompt service for the evening. It took almost 15 minutes to get our drink orders, and then well over 30 minutes to get 2 beers, one glass of wine and 2 cokes. In fact 3/4 of our food arrived before our drinks did and that's only because we went straight to the bar to get them. The bar had 3 people at the counter and one sitting at a high top so it was not busy either. We gave up on more drinks after that, even though we sat right next to the waiter station we had to get up and make eye contact with them to get anything else the rest of the evening.
The menu is a bit overwhelming, from flatbreads to fajitas/tacos, to fish and chips, jambalaya, and finally over to BBQ with ribs and brisket sandwiches. There is just a lot to going on and it always makes me wonder what's frozen in the kitchen to keep such an eclectic menu stocked. I guess the answer was the fish and chips because the fish might as well been Gordon's frozen and breaded fish filets.
The Buffalo chicken flatbread was pretty tasty, the ribs certainly weren't the ones we used to get from Mackie's, and the chicken Caesar salad left a lot to be desired with the very diced chicken on top. I thought the bbq bacon burger was going to be the winner for the evening but was told it was just ok.
I will attest the wings were actually very meaty and great quality. The buffalo sauce was fine and had the slightest touch of spice at the end, but the lemon pepper was swimming in butter but was missing the rest of the flavor.
I'm giving them a 3-out-of-5 because it was the 2nd night and feel like this place has potential with the right staff. I didn't see a manager leading the charge or greeting people, and getting orders out to the tables like I did Mackie's. Im not sure how much experience in the food industry anybody working there has at this point. My only other complaint are the prices. I know inflation is a mother right now, but $90 before tip for a flatbread, a salad, an order of wings, 2 drinks and a 1/2 order of ribs is astounding! read more
