The last time I visited this restaurant, I was about 10 years old, back in 2002. That’s how long it has been around. This was my first time returning since then, and I wasn’t sure what to expect.
When we saw the menu, I was a bit concerned. As of February 2025, entrées start at $22. However, as you can see in the photo, the portion size is generous—easily enough for two meals—so $11 per meal isn’t too bad.
Some say great service is a big part of the dining experience, but unfortunately, that aspect fell short. It took about 10 minutes for our waiter to approach us for the first time, and that only happened because he noticed me making eye contact as he walked by. After ordering, it took another 15 minutes to receive our drinks and chips with salsa. Speed definitely doesn’t seem to be a priority here.
Later, my dining companion had an issue with their beer glass (one of those draft dispensers that fills from the bottom). Instead of simply assisting, the waiter took the opportunity to lecture and lightly ridicule them about how it works. Personally, I found it amusing, but my companion didn’t.
When the food arrived, it was good—no complaints there. But after eating, we waited another 20-30 minutes just to get the check, practically having to beg for it. The most comical part was that the manager came to ask how our food was. We were polite and said it was good. Though she had left the table before we could finish our sentence which involved asking for the check. You know, since we haven’t seen our waiter in over 30 minutes. Maybe 30 seconds later the waiter came to ask the same question, same response but was gone before we could ask for the check. My companion and I found it comical yet annoying. He showed up 5 minutes later and we finally got the check, it was a relief to say the least.
Overall, it’s a nostalgic spot that’s been around forever, serving solid food, but the service could use some serious improvement.
