We came here for dinner on Monday at 5 pm seven weeks ago. This was our very first time, so we didn't have any expectations.
Parking is free, and there should be available parking at all times, but you have to know where to park. First of all, the parking spaces in front of the restaurant are designated either for disabled customers or customers who are stopping to pick up their food. There are some parking spaces near the ATM machine nearby, and many more spaces in the parking garage behind Tin Lizzy's.
I love the interior appearance! Lots of nice looking wooden floor, chairs, tables, booths and walls, and many TV monitors tuned to sporting events give Tin Lizzy's an overall sports bar feel. Lots of windows allow natural light to flow in. One very large fan did a great job circulating the air inside. Outside was a spacious patio, most of it covered, with the "uncovered" section shaded by large umbrellas.
We were greeted by a host just inside the entrance, and she led us to a table that was almost in the middle of the restaurant. From this vantage point, we were able to watch the monitors and do some people watching, especially the two inebriated women at the bar. :-)
Our server cam to our table and took our drinks order. Within 5 minutes she was back with our drinks and took our food orders. The skillets caught our eyes, so we both ordered a skillet: I ordered the Hot Mess skillet, which had tater tots, pork, queso blanco, bacon slaw and chipotle bbq sauce in a skillet; R ordered the Cowboy skillet, which had rice, fried chicken tenders, queso blanco, bacon, avocado, black beans, fresh jalapeños, cilantro, hot sauce and blue cheese crumbles.
We waited maybe 10 minutes at the most before our food was served piping hot! I was pleasantly surprised at how good the combination of ingredients tasted. I loved everything about this skillet: the tater tots were crunchy, there were a lot of small chunks of flavorful pork, the bacon slaw gave the meal a little more crunch, and the bbq sauce added just a tad of spicy sweetness to the mix. I think someone in the kitchen mistakenly put the avocado in with my skillet, but I didn't realize this mixup until after I ate it. ;-) R said that his skillet was very good. The one thing that I had an issue with was that our server disappeared for about 20 minutes, and it was around the time that we wanted to get our check. So we waited and watched the two tipsy and entertaining women at the bar. Lol.
I definitely will be coming back (heck, I don't live that far from this Tin Lizzy's location). There are so many items on the menu, like 18 different kinds of tacos, 3 types of quesadillas and 4 basic salads. There are so many other options to customize the meals.
