I love this concept, but its always so poorly executed.
Its always a few years in between visits, then someone asks about going, and I'm like its been so long, why haven't I been back? Let's write this review so I can remember next time.
Upon entry, it was dark, not the best smell, and the hostess had the worst look on her face. Like she hated her job and someone had JUST pissed her off. We had to speak to her first, and then she grabbed menus and turned to walk away. She was talking, but it was loud, and she mumbled so that I had to ask her to repeat what she said. She asked if we had been there before and if we were celebrating anything. In fact we were celebrating my husbands birthday- but why did she ask? nothing special was done.
**After walking up the ramp, - I barely made it, because it was so sticky/dirty that my flip flops made me trip. My flip flops made so much noise, you could hear how sticky the floor was. It was nasty- but we said okkkay. Maybe there was a rush and they havent cleaned yet. **
Our waitress was nice enough. not great, but not bad, she didnt go the extra mile but she checked in on us and got us refills in a timely manner.
*The soup was disgusting, a brother that was separated and tasteless.
There were no soup bowls up there, so the waitress had to have some brought up.
*The salad bar was minimal: lettuce, onions, cottage cheese, cheese, carrots, olives, croutons.
*The meat section was horribly mixed up. Chicken, marinated chicken, steak, sirloin, marinated fajita steak, pork. Shrimp, krab, noodles.
The different chickens were mixed, the "sirloin" was mixed into the "smokey" steak.
*The seafood had a larger divider, but it apparently didnt work well, because I served chicken into my bowl , and there was a rogue shrimp.
Everything in me said, dont eat this bowl. This got Cross contamination/Food Poisoning all over it. I ate the bowl anyway- not wanting to cause a fuss.
You go up to the grill so they can cook your food, and i feel like they dont really pay any mind to you. Just take your stuff, and if you dont tip, the food isnt cooked that great.
They throw the sauce over it all messy, not really paying attention, most of the sauce hits the grill and not the food. Dumb.
I NEVER ONCE saw any cook wash their hands, when I looked at the hand sink in the corner, it did not appear to be wet or utilized recently.
*** I ended up getting sick after we ate here. My husband got sick after we ate here.***
The price per meal for the unlimited bowl is $17 dollars. The food is in no way worth damn near 20 dollars per person.
I hope next time someone recommends BDs, i check Yelp- so i can be reminded to NOT go.
