DOCTOR: "Yes. And there's no known cure, I'm afraid. Everything just seems shitty, and everyone starts to seem shitty, and everything they say.."
STAN: "It just looks like shit to me, a bunch of processed, gooey shit."
south park's season 15, episode 7 was playing in the background when the bf brought our carry-out food back from suburban tap. ironically, that south park episode was foreshadowing what we were about to eat. perhaps I should have checked out their reviews before givin' this place a shot. that was my bad..
the bf stopped by the place 3-4 hours before closing time. the place was slow. he said he saw about 3 tables or so. the staff purposely gave off a "I don't want to serve you" type of demeanor. they were either absent, slow when present, and looked like they were annoyed that he even walked in. no wonder the majority of their ratings are 1 or 2 stars.
there were absolutely no orders in front of ours, yet the 1 appetizer and 2 entrees took well over 30 minutes. wtf? and the fact that they were all easy food items. especially after opening them up and seeing all that they did. yeah, I don't understand how it took over 30 mins. to prep.
aside from the crappy service and delay, the food was sh!t on top of sh!t. literally. nothing looked appetizing. we ordered the..
1) nacho tots [$5.95] described as ""crispy tater tots topped w/ house made chili, cheddar-jack cheese and jalepenos"
OUR IMPRESSION: 2 words, hollow and dry. there was no fluffiness inside the tots, and the fact that they were way over-fried made it unbearable to eat. the cheese on top was nothing special, but just shredded, packaged cheese. the jalepenos looked like they were cut by some 5 y/o since they were all inconsistently cut into diff. shapes and sizes. everything dried up so fast that it was so hard not to rip the tots into some messy crap. we took 2 bites and threw the rest away. freakin' waste of $6.
2) smoked bbq burger [$8.95] described on their menu as "bbq sauce with smoked bacon and blended cheeses
OUR IMPRESSION: i'm not sure if someone forgot or what, but I tasted no bbq sauce in my burger. the way that the menu described the burger, you have no idea whether it's just bbq sauce or if the bacon is cooked with it.. or is the burger smoked with bbq sauce? either way, they failed since the bbq flavor never made it through. as for everything else, the burger was sooo dry and burnt on some edges. I never thought a pub or bar could mess up on a burger. it wasn't even mediocre. it was terrible! another thing that I couldn't finish =/
3) lemon pepper wings [$7.45 for 6pcs] comes w/ either fries or carrots & celery, but we passed on the fries
OUR IMPRESSION: the wings and drumsticks were kind of tiny. I swear even zaxby's gives bigger pieces. at least the flavor was decent, but not enough to return. afterall, who can mess up on lemon pepper? all you do is buy the dry rub and sprinkle that crap on.
OVERALL, I am truly disappointed in this place. out of 3 dishes, only 1 was finished!? that's pathetic. save yourself some time and money.. and just hit up a fast food joint. you'd at least get good tater tots and a juicy burger.
