Had a poor experience a few months ago and had been avoiding coming back, but when a group of friends insisted we get together there, I figured it was worth another shot. We were a group of 7 there on a Tuesday night, when the place was pretty empty. Our server, off the bat, told us how she was frustrated that the manager had cut the rest of the staff loose so she was running everything alone. While I feel for her (used to be a server), there's no need to tell the patrons about that multiple times. Just say you're a bit short staffed and leave it at that. She basically told us that everything had to come out at once (we wanted apps, then entrees) because she was working alone.
The beers were good. That is truly the only redeeming quality here. They have an awesome beer selection so if you're just looking to drink - go for it.
Now- the food- yikes. First off, I never got my entree, so I can't comment on what it was. It literally never came, the server never came to check that we had gotten our orders, so I had to go get pizza after this "dinner." I did get my buffalo shrimp appetizer, which was seriously appalling. It was 7 little shrimp with tails on smothered in buffalo sauce with two large "blue cheese fritters" next to it. Those fritters were completely raw balls of dough- disgusting. When I told the server about it, she begrudgingly took them back to be recooked after exclaiming "well I don't cook them so I don't know." They came back out burnt on the outside, still raw on the inside, and with a molten blue cheese center. They were inedible, and I still had to pay $12 for that.
Everyone else's meals were just blah. Side salads are just a handful of leaves smothered in dressing (not even a tomato or a crouton, seriously?), burgers were mostly undercooked.
As much as I want to like this place, I refuse to give them any more business after this awful experience.
