My boyfriend and I came here last night to grab a beer and do some research/studying. And it just so happened to be Trivia Mafia night,so you KNOW Team Jay Z's Uh was gon' play (AYYY-YO!!!!!! ... ended up losing big time though. Whatever, idc).
It's pretty big inside. You could bring a group of 6 and be in the clear - no wait time. There is a bar area with booths and bar tops on one side, and then a dine-in restaurant area on the other side. We sat on this end because it was quieter.
I read their Yelp reviews (as I sat there punching myself because one of the themes for trivia was celebrities with hyphenated names and the only person I knew was Mary-Kate Olson, and not the dude from Friends or the chick from The Matrix or the dude in Rocky. Ugh.) and I noticed a lot of people denounced the service here, but praised the food.
Service was not an issue for us at all. It was friendly, honest, for the most part attentive, and chill. But, the food was super bland and mediocre. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Wrap with Waffle Fries and a Captain Ginger that was on special. The Wrap had no flavor. It tasted like reheated chicken with half cooked onions. Bland. Very small. Warm. The Captain Ginger was weak, but only $4 on special. On the other hand, the waffle fries were DELICIOUS. They were golden crisped and not over seasoned at all, which I find to be a problem at some other places. Very tasty and satisfying - definitely order this as an appetizer! I asked for a side of jalapeños - these came out in a pretty big sauce container. And the best part was that they were SPICY and PICKLED. UGH MOANING OVER HERE, SO GUH SO GUH.
My boyfriend ordered a Cajun Burger and he said it was pretty mediocre too. Nothing special. But, he ordered straight fries and he also loved them!
I would definitely come back with a group to Triv' and eat fries, for sure. But, by no means, is this a must-dine.
