Initially, I didn't want to write a review, but I ended up giving in so everyone can know how bad my first experience was. Long story short, a friend of mine recommended this place multiple times and said the chicken was delicious/worth the try. So today, I decided to visit with my boyfriend.
We both looked at the outside menu prior to entering the restaurant and decided it'd be a cool place to try. As soon as we walked in I said "Hello" to the lady at the front counter. She then looked at us and simply asked, "For Here or To Go?" without greeting us back. Astounded, I brushed it off and said we'd be eating for here. After that, the lady said we could choose any table to sit at since the restaurant did not have many people in it - most of them seemed to be waiting on their to go orders. I looked around, found a booth and went for the smaller table out of the booth tables. Suddenly, I noticed a large bug on its back struggling to turn right side up on the table I wanted to sit at. Disgusted at the sight of the bug, I just ignored it and sat at next table over. The lady came behind us quickly telling us to switch tables to the smaller one (with the bug!!), but in my head, I absolutely did not want to sit at a table with that bug. I know it may not be a big deal for some, but I personally lost my appetite when I saw the bug. There weren't any napkins or anything to clean it off the table, so I just tried to avoid the situation overall and sit at another table. BUT no, the lady insisted we sit at the table with the bug. After she saw what I was looking at, she immediately tried to brush the bug off the table with the MENU and then casually HANDED over the menu to my boyfriend who was oblivious to what had just happened. No apology at all for the bug situation and at that moment, I was telling myself maybe we should leave and try out another place, but I sat there saying "okay maybe I'm just overreacting over this damn bug, maybe the food will be good!?"
After awhile, she finally came back to order our food and gave us barely filled waters cups (the water had this odd taste to it). I felt rushed about what I had to choose since it was my first time and I honestly had no idea what it would taste like, but I was eager to remain open minded. My boyfriend and I both ordered lunch specials which we thought were a decent price, but a little pricey considering other wing places give more wings for the same price. The food portion was good, I did get full and the wings did taste decent, but weren't what I hoped for. I enjoyed the fries that my boyfriend got with his lunch special, but the rice and coleslaw were MEH - I've had better elsewhere.
While we tried to enjoy our meal quietly, the lady who was serving us NEVER came back to check up on us. As more customers came, she would offer to refill their cups, check up on them, and do what a server should do - but not to my boyfriend and I. Everything that I hoped to be awesome in this restaurant instantly left me with regret. I tried to be open minded and hope for it to somehow make a comeback, but it never did. Honestly,it was a waste of money that we spent there and wish we went elsewhere, but I guess now we know how this restaurant is.
Overall, I left feeling really unhappy with our visit and don't think I'll return anytime soon. read more
