The restaurant is located behind the gas station. About a block away once you exit the freeway.
This was my first time being here. When we arrived, the restaurant felt warm and stuffy, in which, I wanted to leave but I was assured that the food was good by others in my party that had been there in the past. So we stayed.
When we arrived, there was a couple sitting at the bar. 3 tables were occupied in the entire restaurant. So basically it was pretty much empty.
Now as for our waitress, which I can't remember her name, but she had mentioned that that was her first job working as a waitress - which would be ok if she was more attentive. She was only attentive while taking our order for food and drinks. The food order was entered and we received our drinks. After that, she basically disappeared on us. I tried to flag down someone else for refills but seemed like they would avoid our area. Our waitress was busy talking to several other co-workers behind the bar. I guess because we were a party of 6, in which 20% tip/gratuity is automatically added to the bill, she no longer needed to give us service because she was going to get 20%. Once the food came out, a young guy brought us the food. I had to ask him for refills in which he said he would ask our waitress because he could only bring out food items and sides like ketchup and ranch. Weird! Once we received all of our food, FINALLY the waitress arrived to see if everything was ok. I asked for a refill because apparently she didn't see that our cups were empty.
Asking for refills is my BIGGEST PET PEEVE!
The food was really good.
Food order: I ordered the Capitan's Combo ($19) - (beer battered with fried fish and shrimp, comes with fries but I upgraded to beer battered onion rings for an extra $2.50). My wife ordered the same combo with regular fries in which they were not seasoned/salted, but plain (fries were bland). My wife also ordered bone-in chicken wings, flavored Strawbanero ($17). They were delicious. They were crispy and juicy, well cooked. The marinate was kind of like a thickened sticky teriyaki sauce. Great flavor, then if you add some ranch, the strawberry flavor comes out even more. My brother in law ordered The Avenue burger ($20) which does have 3 flames on it. He loves spicy food, but this burger was even more spicy than he thought. He didn't add extra spicy sauce, but was almost having trouble finishing his burger. Sister in law ordered Nachos ($12) with skirt steak (+$6). They came in a basket, a very good portion. One of my niece's ordered the same Strawbanero bone-in wings, and the other ordered a burger. All of our drinks were sodas, waters, and unsweetened drinks. Our bill was over $200.
Overall, I might not be returning or if I do, I'll ask for someone else!
