Though the quality here is normally strong, the dishes are sometimes hit or miss.
For example, I went to the buffets they host on Fridays on a regular basis and always felt that I got my money's worth and then some. The foods are delicious and the price is great, for the buffets. However, I have been very disappointed other non-buffet times. I once went here for their version of a BLT to get some kind of stale bread and clearly stale chips. I love their chips, so I was pretty let-down.
More recently, I went to get nachos and a side of mac and cheese. I love their nachos, but there have been a couple of times when the cooks went scant on the toppings, and they did so this time, especially the meat (I went for the smoked beef option). While what I did get was really tasty, I was sorely disappointed by the stinginess: there were around 6 moderate-sized slices of beef and a lackluster amount of coleslaw. So these nachos were not satisfying like in previous times, and they were a clear contrast. I believe they SHOULDN'T be, especially when they are around $12 a pop. Moreover, I was expecting the portion of mac and cheese to be a bit bigger than around a cup for the price of $7. I mean, it was delicious, but $7 for about a cup??? Never again.
I remember this one instance in which family was visiting from out of state and I was excited to take them to City Pork because I've had nothing but great experiences with them. I was very, very disappointed when the food that I and they received was lackluster. I had hoped to take them to this great restaurant and give them a delicious memory that they could draw back on, but they weren't impressed, unfortunately.
Overall, I will give City Pork a couple of more tries and hope that they deliver. This restaurant mostly puts out great food, and this will let you down when they don't--especially at the price they do.
