We went into this bar/restaurant and were greeted with their Tuesday specialty, a platter of Fries…read morechicken. We were with a group of 19 people who called ahead but we were not part of that original 19 people. We called ahead earlier in the day as we knew that the group of 19 had already. We did so because we knew that they would be busy. We called them and were told to come in and order then. We came in at the same time that the group of 19 came in. We should have known that there would be a problem as the group of 19 had no water glasses or pitchers waiting. I thought that was weird since they knew at noon about this group. Anyway, so we waited in the back for someone to come back to take our order and nothing. We waited probably 20 minutes and considering it was hot out, we were thirsty for beer. A friend of mine and myself went up to the bar to order the chicken and the beers. We were yelled by an older lady to go back to the back and sit down we will get with you. Well, now the chicken didn't look to appetizing. I have been in retail for over 25 years and I've never yelled at a customer that we will get to you to go back there and sit down and shut up. I don't understand it even now as they were not that busy as there was probably four other families there. It was just that the lady didn't wanna take our order for some reason. This is something that they are supposed to be known for so if they were busy which I didn't think that they were as the chicken was already done for the group of 19 there shouldn't have been a problem serving us. I also found out later that night that there was some people in the group of 19 who want a T-shirt as they remembered that restaurant when they were younger. They were told that the T-shirts are in the back and they were unwilling to go back there and get them because they didn't know the sizes that they wanted. So, they lost out on our chicken order and beers which probably would've been at least $50-$60. Then, they lost out on probably selling at least 10 to 15 T-shirts of that bar because they seem like they're in both cases that they were too lazy to get off their butts. I don't understand why they would want to turn away probably around $300 of merchandise and food but I guess that's their thing. Especially, when they're supposed to be known for having really good chicken and they were not busy. There is a newspaper article that I saw that they did over 70 chickens one night. So how they were too busy to serve four or five people is mine blowing. Hopefully, they're lazy attitude towards people improves.

The one thing we were surprised with was - being charged for keychup when we ordered a side order of onion rings ? and also being charged for mayonnaise. I asked if the sauce for the Aji tuna was spicy and she said it was a little bit. I asked if I could have mayonnaise as well. I was surprised to see a charge on the bill, although it was nominal it was still something we had never been charged before.

I will…read moresay that I think it is as good as I expected it to be, but I always hope it'll be better thus I am not leaving a 5-star review. Fried pickles spears with the rock n roll sauce were great. I wouldn't have ordered these except my server recommended them out of all the apps, so I went with that. Fried things at places like this usually lack flavor and are just salty, fried bar food. These had some kick. The rock n roll sauce was like a Mayo with Frito's Chili Cheese Twists, so they were yummy. Tilapia on wild rice was ok, but it's tilapia, so how amazing can it be, right? Broccoli wasn't too over cooked and it still had a healthy green color, so I was happy with that. And the fries were a tad greasy, but they came out hot and crunchy. I think if they let the oil drain off them a bit more under a heat lamp, they'd hold their crispness a bit longer. Oh, and it was an entire plate of fries, so portions were generous. Lastly, everything was served very quickly. The place wasn't super-busy, but it wasn't dead and I was happy about the timeliness. I ordered an app first then placed an order for my entree after munching on that. And I was out done in 45 minutes. Granted, I was eating alone, but still. If you enjoy meat, I highly recommend giving this place a shot. I am a pescatarian (mostly vegetarian) and I have a sneaking suspicion that their beef and chicken options have much more developed flavors.

After ordering our drinks and food, we did not hear back from our waitress for 45 min. There were only 3 tables occupied in the bar, including us. Our food took well over an hour to come out to us. We paid $8 for 6 gizzards. When we asked about our wait time and our bill, they told us to never come back. This is definitely not a place I would ever recommend to any of my friends or family. Decent service is not a difficult aspect to provide when attempting to run a business. Unacceptable.

I have to many good things to say about my experience here. I had an amazing time and meal there…read more We were the only ones, the owners, server, and chefs were all so sweet, accommodating, it was a homey feeling. The food... omg that burger I'm not even a huge burger fan but it was perfectly cooked, not greasy, flavorful but not to overpowering on any of the parts, the melty cheese, the crispy soft bun, the fried cream cheese triangles were crispy and flavorful on the outside, so creamy and yummy on the inside, all of it together was a little sweet, savory, PERFECT, the bacon on it was a little spicy and smoky, there was a creamy spicy sauce. The whole thing was perfectly balanced in every way, so yummy, I already miss eating it. The fries shocked me, I don't like sweet potato or waffle fries but there were savory, sweet, perfectly crispy. The onion rings we got for the table were pretty good for someone who doesn't like them, the ranch was not amazing or bad or mid, just pretty good. The straight fries were basic but not bad either. The boneless wings someone at my table got were basic, not bad but they are just boneless wings and I'm not big on teriyaki. They had free arcade games and local artists pieces to buy (I got a painting). Everything about the place was amazing, so homey, chill, amazing food, if you are traveling through this a must stop spot. They had options for the chef to pick your meal (that's what I did) and another option where you could buy the kitchen a beer for 6 bucks.
