Waitresses are all very nice and polite! Boyfriend had some breakfast plate and coffee, I had my usual corn dog with fries and salad, and a margarita. Our meals were great. Beans served with his breakfast were well seasoned and delicious. Fries are noticeably freshly made and so tasty - and I'm picky about fries. I guess my only complaint would be my drink - both today and on our previous visit, they seem to have changed their margarita mix or recipe - it tastes different and I liked it better before. Too bad because this place used to be in my top-3 fave margarita spots (with Antica in Niagara Falls and Little Grill in Littleton NH!).

What a thoughtful touch! Our dining experience was more on the expensive side this time around. However, you can most definitely get away with spending little due to their amazing happy hour options. We ordered the steak with lobster, lobster spaghetti, truffle parmesan fries, and their signature sangria. The steak was cooked spot on: medium rare and just a touch on the rare side, exactly how I wanted it and mentioned from the get-go. Everything arrived promptly, which made the whole experience feel smooth and well-paced. We placed 4 happy hour sangrias, which were perfectly balanced and refreshing. What really stood out was the service. Our server, Ace, was wonderful, attentive, friendly, and genuinely engaging. She even surprised us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate, which made the evening feel extra special. The restaurant itself is immaculate: spotlessly clean with a smart, stylish setup that immediately catches your eye. The ambiance was electric, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable night out. Overall, Joey Rideau exceeded expectations in every way. I would come back in a heartbeat!

He asked if we wanted the bill after giving the kids ice cream and then came back with the payment machine-- handed it to me and stood beside all of us while I settled the bill and he didn't make eye contact or say a single word to us. It made us feel unfomfortable and like we had done something wrong Other cons: we overheard a customer complain to another employee that the soap in the women's washroom was empty. My daughter and I made a trip to the restroom over 20 minutes later and the soap was still empty. Not to mention the washroom stalls were completely dirty.

The hostess failed to mention that the kitchen was out of beef patties and chips so they weren't serving 4 items on their menu. We weren't informed until we were ordering, and my table planned to order an appetizer with chips and 2 burgers. The waitress took our orders (table of 5) without writing it down and one of the items we ordered had the wrong customization. This was quickly fixed with the offer to remake it and take it off the bill. All of our appetizers were also forgotten and never put through to the kitchen. We didn't get them until after we were finished our mains. I guess they also put one of our appetizers through twice, so we received an extra order of wings for free. I've been to 3 different Warehouse locations now and never expect too much because of the price, and the service and food reflected this. I would've given it a 3/5 based on the food but wasn't happy with the service. Especially because I was looking forward to ordering the mushroom Swiss burger.

They accommodated, special drink requests, proactively offered to move our seats to a shadier corner when it got a little bit too sunny on the rooftop patio etc. Drinks were inexpensive but still creative and good. Food was as expected, smaller portions at cheaper prices - which was actually great for our appetite levels. Five year old had chicken fingers and fries (shocking, right?!) which were perfect. Adults shared a root beer pulled pork sandwich and yam fries which was a little light on the meat side, but tasty, as well as an Asian style salad - the real standout. It was fabulous. Overall, a damn decent experience!
