The Liquor Store

Long Review Alert! My family and I, party of 9, then 11 came to the restaurant today a little after 9. The restaurant was not crowded. After we declined to sit outside, we were told a 20 minute wait. We even offered to sit apart as separate parties and were told by the hostess, Raelyn, (spelling) that we could not and even though they were empty, the booths, near the window section were not open. Therefore, we would have to wait. We said ok. After a while, I checked in with Raelyn to ask if the restaurant, considering the space, was capable of seating a party of 9. Sometimes places are short staffed and other times restaurants just are not able to, due to space, handle a large party. That is ok. She responded to me about a 20 minute wait time and told me that it had not been 20 minutes. Firstly, I never asked about a wait time, I asked her about the restaurant’s ability to handle a large party. Raelyn, it is ok to not know the answer to a question. Just say, I am not sure and find someone who can provide an answer. Secondly, her tone was very off. She definitely needs a refresher on customer experience and perhaps she needs to be in the back when she is not having a good day. The hostess/ host is the first person one encounters when entering a restaurant. That person sets the tone for the dining experience. After my conversation with her, the experience continued to go downhill. We should have left. We were finally seated and miraculously after we were, the booth section that Raelyn told us was closed, opened. 🙄 Despite our waitress, Ms. Carol, entering our orders correctly in the system, we checked our tickets, food items came late, were missing, was cold, and had to be sent back. Most of us did not finish our food and NO ONE took any leftovers. Perhaps the experience would have been better in a smaller party. Now the 5 stars for service is ONLY for Ms. Carol, our waitress. She is the epitome of customer experience, retention, and service. Ms. Carol was attentive, had our orders correct and was the MOST pleasant person at this restaurant I encountered. She was so wonderful that I tipped her extra on the 20% gratuity! Overall, my experience here was lackluster and the food was just mediocre.

The Liquor Store was recommended to us during our recent trip. We loved the aesthetic. Our server was nice. Service was fast with a minimal wait. I ordered the Cuban chopped cheese- ok flavor. But the bread was toasted and fresh great. Two orders of the classic breakfast plates. 3 people for $49. I'd recommend the place for the experience.

Great food! Pretty aesthetic! I came for the fried plantains and was pleasantly surprised with the ube pancakes 🥞:) 10/10 i will come back for brunch with the girlies!

SPORTS CENTER TOP 10! I grabbed breakfast here with a friend of mine and we were both impressed. I had the pancakes with fried eggs and turkey sausage. It was very good. The coffee was great as well. My friend had the biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon and said it was good as well. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was

The food was decent and well portioned, but the biscuit was very dense and the “beignets” were hollow on the inside, so we were basically eating fried breading. Also, the bill was pretty pricey for two meals, orange juice, and beignets ($60), but I guess that’s inflation and “take-out tax”

Very good experience! The food was great - perfectly prepared, and super tasty. The highlight was absolutely the empanadas. Cannot recommend them enough. The breakfast bowls were also great, and my iced mocha was well made and delicious. Will definitely be going back!

I went for the first time this past Saturday, and was looking forward to trying their french toast &/or catfish. However, it turns out that you can only get those items on the weekday special days. Unfortunately, I cannot make it to this establishment during their weekday business hours 7:30am-3pm because I pretty much work 9-5 hours M-F and they're too far from my job to do takeout during my lunch break. I got over my disappointment & got the 2 pancake breakfast with Cuban chicken, eggs & I added breakfast potatoes. I only liked the eggs and chicken. My server was nice, but forgetful. There were several things that I asked him for that I either had to remind him about or let it go. I was sat outside since it was packed inside. It was about 40-50 degrees outside so it was pretty cold. It would've been nice if they had some patio heaters or something in place to warm the area up. Lastly, the bathrooms weren't maintained well during rush. I went twice before I sat down and before I left and both times I had to grab tissue from another stall or from their cabinets before going. They're reasonably priced even with the automatic 20% gratuity, so I would return. I love the pink decor throughout the space.

We almost always have a great experience dining here. My daughter and son love the pancakes. This morning, Alissa and Carol K went above and beyond to be extra nice to my young daughter and we just wanted to give an extra thanks!
