Nancy's was always the spot to hang out on the weekend with my co-workers, we would go every now and then and it was convenient because most of us live central or on the west side. We usually would eat dinner or have pupu's, stay and drink and hang out. I haven't been here for at least 3 years and decided to get together with the old work crew here. As far as I can remember the food was okay, nothing spectacular but it was alright for "bar food". Oh how things have changed here... Since we all met for dinner, most of us ordered our own entrée's. I ordered the hamburger steak which to me is a easy staple for many local restaurants. My friend decided on the fried pork chop which is supposed to be one of their most popular dishes. The food came and we were completely disappointed. My hamburger steak although covered in gravy, I could see the sides of the patty were not the nicely grilled brown which you are used to seeing on most hamburger patties. This one was pale, almost grey brown. I ate some of it anyway and the taste was not very good at all. I'm not sure if this patty is homemade or store bought but it was totally unappetizing. My friend was not thrilled about her pork chop either and I tasted it and had to agree with her. We did order "nacho fries" and as "nacho" I was expecting salsa, sour cream, cheese, maybe some olives and green onions. It came to the table and it was basically just cheese fries, with chopped jalepeno. Really?? I could just be a snob but just nacho cheese doesn't make anything nachos to me. The only thing that looked decent to me was the chopped steak which my friend ordered. As far as service goes, our waiter was nice and really accommodating of our needs so that is a plus. Other than that, I don't think I will be returning to Nancy's. read more

Can I say old school place? Yeah it's been years I haven't been here. I expected to see the place still looks the same. Not too sure if they will ever renovate to make the place look better but oh well can't complain. Came here 5-20-2017 for a friends birthday celebration get together chill session. As soon as I walk in we were the biggest party there. The girl who served us was calm attentive and very friendly. I believe she's been working there awhile now judging by the way she remembers what we order in a timely matter without writing anything down. Awesome memorization on orders. 1 hour in having a few shots and beers and pupus she had to close our parties tab due to here getting off of work and another server was replacing her for the late night shift. Pupus was okay. Not the best a little on the expensive side for the "frozen" food but ayyy it's a place to drink and catch up on some friends. Ordered the combo steak plate with sautéed mushrooms and shrimp. It was okay. I guess late resort food id say. Anyways moving forward the second server kinda looked flustered for a bit since she had to handle a big party. She's friendly but took awhile to get our drinks flowing. Would I ever come to place just to eat the food? Nahhhh rather just drink and play darts but won't be coming here every so often. Maybe if someone really wants me to go here. read more

Went in for lunch with my mom on a weekday. Was seated quickly with just a few tables being taken. Haven't been here in awhile and both my mom and I were craving some Oxtail Soup! Nothing fancy about this meal, just some ono soup that fixes my cravings and it's close to home. Nice big pieces of meat with more than enough ginger and Chinese parsley as sides. Again, prices have gone up (if your there check out the price of short ribs!?) but tell me where it hasn't. I'll be back read more

How do you support local when they can't even acknowledge you while you're standing looking at 3 workers? We didn't even get a hello we'll be right with you to sit. This is why you losing business. Sad read more

This place is garbage. Since the county has allowed bars to reopen, they have done nothing but make it difficult for patrons and customers. I have always been a firm believer in supporting local businesses, but there is a guy there (with a mullet) who I think is the manager. We've been going for almost 2 months, every other Friday with a group of about 15-20: half adults and half kids. The adults would go in first (kids were at practice) and have some drinks and pupus while the kids were at practice. We would inform them in advance that the kids (approximately 5-10 of them) would be joining us in about an hour. We were told that they don't hold tables and can't promise us anything until they arrive. That's fine- until they held a table of 10 for a group of people who came AFTER us- who only had a party of 3. The guy (mullet man) was rude and had no regard for our polite requests. Tonight was the last time we will go back. We will take our party of 15-20 elsewhere until they get their BS antics straight. COVID had nothing to do with some of these businesses going under. Some of them did this all on their own. It's sad to see local businesses who don't know how to take care of the locals. read more

Really wanted to like this place because my faddah in law wanted to come here but....the food aint the best and the prices werent either. Me and hubby got the hawaiian plates ($24.95) okay but the kalua pig was hella salty. Hubby ordered beef luau on the side and squid luau. Beef luau was $17 for a bowl of soup with 3 pieces of meat (not worth it) and the squid luau was trash tasted like straight coconut milk with a few pieces of squid and not to mention how underwhelming the size of the bowl was for $11!! Tasted like haupia luau....Staff was okay to us when we got there but when we seen the receipt i called up the restaurant because we were already home and asked about the pricing cuz we thought it was different and whoever answered was straight cocky. No aloha. Auē and on top of that the 20% gratuity was what topped it all off. My mother in law gave $10 tip on top of the gratuity because she never know that she got charged the gratuity and the lady never say NOTHING. Can tell they just want your money. Better off getting food from somewhere else. read more

FOOD, SERVICE & MANAGEMENT was terrible!!!!! After talking to manager all I got was a sorry & never seen her again. The hamburger steak and Pork Cutlet we ordered arrived to the table with NO brown gravy. The soup and Bun you get with complete meal did not arrive until after the main entree. We did not get our pudding or jello either. I'd rather eat HOSPITAL FOOD! I WILL NOT BE EATING HERE OR RECOMMENDING THIS PLACE TO ANYONE! read more

Nancy's Kitchen - THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE!!! Service, Management & food was terrible. I WILL NEVER EAT HERE OR RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE! - Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Not a bad place to eat after playing golf on the west side. Hamburger steak is pretty good. Need to try others next time.

My buddy Christopher was going back to the mainland for school soon and wanted Hawaiian food but most Hawaiian food restaurants where closed at 8pm. I remembered hearing that Nancy's Kitchen/sports bar also had Hawaiian food. I called and the kitchen closed at 9pm. So it was on! We got our Hawaiian food craving filled and i was not disappointed! The Hawaiian Luau plate is a winnah!!! I am coming back to Nancy's for sure! read more

Wow ' haven't been here in a long time , how is this place still in business. Service terrible, food terrible . Waited for ever with just 6 people in the place . Never again. Beware people. read more

Let me start by saying i will never visit this establishment again. I guess because they are the only bar/hangout within a 10 mile radius of mililani/waipio they automatically get the crowd that doesnt wanna head to town. Saying that, the place actually charges top dollar for all the drinks. Visited sat. Evening for a bday party. Ever drink we ordered(incl. Beer) was $6 - $10. Did i mention the place is run down & crappy? No specials, no deals, just straight gouging. Ordered a load of pupus and equally disappointing. Steak was dry and tasteless, nacho cheese was cold, and the fries unsalted. Major disappointing and overated spot. Trust me...drive to town! You'll thank me for it. I was better off walking 3 stores down to foodland to get a case. Actually, the bartender even ran there to re-stock the heinekens. Boooooo!! Employees are rude as hell and the wanna-be "security" was a joke. Any "regulars" here seriously need to drive to town and see what real night life looks like. I never did like a Nancy and i sure as hell don't like her kitchen. *SWAG*SWAG*SWAG read more

Came in on Tuesday night to listen to friends DJ and drink! Support your local DJ!! *_* It was crowded. Lots of workers from the surrounding businesses. And it seemed like the rest of the crowd was 21-25 years old. Yah i felt old. LOL. I told my bf, aren't they supposed to have good food here? He's like yah I think so let's order some. So the FOOD. We ordered the french fries, onion rings, and a steak combo. French fries were blah. Nothing special. Onion rings were big and crispy. The steak combo consisted of steak, calamari rings, and shrimp with onions and mushrooms. The steak was cold and cut in skinny strips with a string of fat holding them together. I was done with that dish. Also there were bar flys, fruit flys, or some bug that landed on our food. It just hung out. And they were also in between our napkins. Awesome. I asked the waitress for a water. OMG. When I got it, i took a sip and it tasted funny. I put it down to inspect it. There was a bunch of "stuff" floating at the bottom. And on top it was all bubbles. Interesting. Everyone started smelling it and stirring it around. No idea what it was. Didn't want to know. I was ready for the check and ready to get out. Got the check and the waitress didn't charge us for a few things. I ain't gonna complain. Hey waitress, Thanks! read more

Just left this place and let me tell you its not worth the money. Came in for lunch wanting to eat Hawaiian food and it was a big mistake. FOOD REVIEW* --The Hawaiian plate was not worth the cost. The laulau was over cooked; the luau leaf was burnt tasting and the meat was dry!! The poi was sour! HORRIBLE! --my husband's pork cutlet was more like deep fried pork grease with gravy SERVICE REVIEW* --The lady waitress is sassy and rude and makes like she is too busy or important! My husband asked for another refill and she looked at him like he was dumb and rudely said only 1 refill. She could have simply said that there's only 1 refill. But no she wanted to be entitled and sassy. -- we got no refills on water at all -- The guy was nice and would've got more tip Then our bill came out to $89 so I gave them 92 the waitress then makes a remark and laughs about the $2 tip. SHE is lucky they even got a tip based on our experience. NEVER WASTING MONEY HERE AGAIN read more

I agree with Kama. I will never go here again. 1) the food was cold, bland, just not good. The mini corn dogs are like the ones from Costco. The garlic soy beans were mushy and had a bad taste. The nachos is just cheese and jalapenos. Lame. 2) they automatically tacked on a 20% tip and didn't even tell us. Their checks "old school" where they hand write everything. They put the tip on the "tax" line and the actual tax on a different line. I had to ask them what the charge was for. Most establishments (in my opinion) will have an automatic 18% for 6+ people, this was the first time I saw 20% - and they had the worst service. 3) We were there for about 2-3 hours and they cut us off from getting any more alcohol. What made it worse was that they never told us, they just stopped coming by our table. Our waitress did a last call on drinks and closed our tabs because her "shift was ending". She lied, she kept serving other tables. Our whole group (15 people) had on average 3 drinks each and no one was being obnoxious and no one complained. The waitress finally told us that the owner was cutting us off. One of us went to ask the waitress why and asked to see the manager or owner. Both of them refused to come out to speak with us. At the end, the bartender allowed us to keep ordering drinks because she agreed we were not intoxicated. read more

The first thing I saw on the menu was the watermelon cake thing. SOLD! After that, I chose a drink (Jack) and an entree (hamburger steak). BF orders fried noodles and beef stew. He asks them what kind of Japanese beers they have, and the waitress tells him, "Kirin and Sapporo". So he orders the Sapporo. Two minutes after our order goes out, a young waiter comes back. They're out of Sapporo. You guys are a BAR! Run to Foodland!!! Oi, whatever. Give me something else then. Our food comes in a fairly decent amount of time, and my hamburger steak was... ok. The fried noodles were...ok. Everything was ... ok. Nothing good, nothing bad, definitely edible, but nothing special. It was run of the mill plate lunch food on a nicer plate and for $3 more. The bf goes to order the watermelon cake thing since it was all I could think about...and..."Sorry, we don't have that today." End. Don't show me the picture if you don't want me to have it. read more

Maybe it's because I'm biased to this place because I grew up eating this food, but I love it! I always get the Hawaiian plate. I also enjoy the beef luau, pork chops, saimin, and oxtail soup. The service has been good every time I've gone. I do have to admit, however, since they renovated they could have gotten new dishes. Like the water cups and stuff. It all looks run down and old. It looks like an old hole in the wall establishment. But I'm pretty sure that's not the idea they're going for. read more

I've frequented this establishment many a time with family and friends, and I feel like this restaurant really is the epitome of hole-in-the-wall local style food. I've never been disappointed as far as service or flavor of food goes, but I couldn't resist writing about my last experience. I ordered a small won ton noodle soup with vegetables, and usually save the vegetables for last. As I bit into my won bok cabbage, I noticed it was tough as sandpaper. Upon closer inspection, it was a wadded up paper towel! I immediately alerted the waitress where she promptly apologized and took the item off our check. Had it not been for the apologies and comp, I probably would've given this place a 1 star. Word to the wise: Check you saimin noodles and its garnishes thoroughly before consuming!!!! read more

WAITER SERVICE SUCKS! Good luck with just getting a refill on your water or even paying your bill. No customer courtesy whatsoever. But, if you have to eat here: - get stuff from the pupu menu - better selection than the dinner. read more

Thank you Nancys for the hair in our food. Check your food before eating it. Ours was cooked in the food. Check the picture for details. The one person in our party looked sick after seeing it, didnt eat his food, and was still told to pay for it. read more

Nancy's Kitchen - Its on the right - Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

While I agree that this is a locals only type place its not worth the drive out to Gentry if you're in town or a tourist. The food is good, but there are better places for Hawaiian food in town - like Ono One Hawaiian Food. That said, I would caution that apparently the portion sizes have shrunk a bit of late so while its reasonably priced if you're a big eater you may want to order an extra entree. That said, the place is quite homey, the prices are reasonable, and the have a large menu with a wide range of items available so there's totally something for everyone here. read more

If you're the kind of tourist that wants "real local food" with that "hole in the wall" aspect, this is it. If you were to just come upon this place, you probably wouldn't give it a second look. But something about them not trying to make the restaurant look good pales when you taste the food. For lack of a better way to describe it, the food is ono!!! The poi is great, the lomilomi salmon is not too salty but just right, and the pork laulau actually has meat (not fat) in it!!! And of course, true to real Hawaiian food, it doesn't come at outrageous prices. Great value for your money. Your mouth will thank you for this experience. read more

Came here for lunch because the the place we were going to in the shopping center wasn't open at all on Mondays. It was warm outside because of the vog so I didn't bring a jacket and since it was sort of cold and empty because it was a bit after lunch anyway. The staff seemed really friendly and talked very casually to the regulars who were already in there. I even heard the lady tell this couple by names, saying for the guy to take care of his cold and that they'll see them next time. Anyway, my friend had her sights set on a shrimp omulette and I was about to get a sandwich but adobo omurice sounded soooo good since I haven't really been eating rice a lot lately. Well, it seems that the shrimp omulette is no longer served and just hasn't been taken off the menu. So she had to change her order which was probably no big deal. When we got our food, hers was covered in gravy~! She kinda slophed some of it off and it was good for her. My adobo omu-rice was absolutely great~! warm, and savory and sour... I topped it with so much pepper though, haha. Come time to order desserts, and another thing thats no longer on the menu, yet a tempting picture shown right at our table... watermelon ice cream cake. Oh well, We got some irish ice cream cake with pistachio and two other flavors instead. It was heavy drizzled with hersheys syrup so it kinda masked the ice creams flavor a bit. I liked the oreo crust~ for the both of us and sharing dessert, it was just at ~$25 total Bar and Restaurant: I wonder what this place is like at night.

How does this place stay in business? Let me first start by saying...when we entered the restaurant we were already starving thinking that we would have faster service than the 45 minute wait to get in that we left at Outback. We figured bar food, yes, they should be fast. This is just a little after 9pm now. Let me tell you...it took the waitress a while just to come for our order. After taking our order of pupus and some of the menu plates she finally came back with our waters. So we waited for our food, after about another 10 to 15 minutes she comes back and tells us that they don't have the spicy ahi, so I asked for the calamari in place off only that pupu. Ok..so more minutes pass, not once did the waitress refill our water. So starvation is almost past being starvation so my friends husband goes outside to see what our other options our, this is nearly close to 10 pm. The waitress come and tells us that she's sorry but they are "waiting for the cook". I asked her what does that mean? Since the bar service just started and they were something about switching over. What?! Ok so an hour passes and all we have is soda and water. We had enough and are ready to walk out, but first my friend goes upon to pay for the drinks...with $5 my husband left. Oh geez..it was more than that and instead of comp-ing us for the wait and no food, my friend is still asked to pay the extra $1 something more for the drinks!! We walked out of there after an hour hungry and very upset and disappointed at this place. Thank goodness for Big City Diner next door for their consistency, great tasting food and awesome service. Maybe it wasn't the waitresses fault for the back end but owners and management please take a look!!! I wouldn't have wrote this but someone has to know!! We are never coming back here! read more

Waitress was nice but when ordered wonton and pupu steak, it took over 20 mins to get to me and was over-fried. After hours food is a little pricey and not worth it. As soon as 10 pm came around, the restaurant atmosphere changed from local restaurant/bar to club music. Not a relaxing way to enjoy my beer. It's more of a hangout spot for young bloods. Not my idea of a fun place. I actually wanted to leave and go to Big City diner. They had live performers there with more paina music. But I couldn't leave cause we were celebrating my cousins birthday there. Sad to say, I left the place around 12 am, couldn't take no more of the music. I usually stay out and drink more until the bar closes. read more

Thinking about breakfast? Stay away from here!!! My husband and I try to choose a different place to dine for Sunday breakfast dates. Bad choice this week. Instead of NFL Football on Sunday, they have Fox News on the TVs with full, loud, disturbing audio. I don't appreciate hearing the analysis of Obama's apology for the Obamacare website woes during a date. Would you? I ordered the fried rice omelet. It was pretty much just white rice thrown in a pan with ham, Portuguese sausage, and kamaboko. Not seasoned at all. I couldn't stand it until I added shoyu and pepper myself. And even then, it still wasn't good. The egg wasn't even fully cooked, I peeled it off and didn't eat it at all. My husband had the hungry man breakfast which tasted like it was cooked on a dirty pan, which is weird because we were the first on only customer during this time. While we ate our crappy food, our server and another woman was sitting in a booth watching their Fox News and chit chatting in their foreign language... C'mon people! Sunday morning... FOX SPORTS!!!! And it's rude to speak in another tongue in front of your customers. Near the end of this meal, where we are now disgusted by the food, environment, and service and think it can't get any worse, they start vacuuming!! Yes, vacuuming! WTF?! Hello! You have diners in your restaurant! Would you start vacuuming your home when you have visitors for a meal? Nothing about this place was good. There's a reason why there was no wait for Sunday breakfast and why no one entered the restaurant the entire time we were there... This place sucks!! My one star rating was not earned; Yelp doesn't allow me to rate any lower than that. I would never recommend this place to anyone; and I will never return. If you are in this area and want breakfast, stop at Big City Diner. You would even have a better meal at the fast food joints. Nancy's Kitchen is horrible!!! read more

I ordered the oxtail soup to take out & I notice a sign that said $0.25 container charge per dish order. Since I already ordered my $18 oxtail soup I figure whatever I hope the oxtail is still the same as it used to be. Well when I got home it didn't look the same & I only had small pieces oh meat! For about the same price I think I would eat Zippys oxtail next time, taste better, more meat & they don't charge for take out containers! Or Kapiolani coffee shop is good! read more

I ate here today and did not know that there was a "COVID FEE" to dine in or take out. It's .50 per person to dine in or .25 for take out. When asked what the "COVID FEE" was for the waitress stated it was to sanitize the table and booth for us to sit. If I'm not mistaken shouldn't you be doing that anyway even if we weren't in a pandemic? If that's the case why are you charging .25 for take out? Are you sanitizing the containers you're putting our food in? Wouldn't you rather us order take out from your restaurant? read more

Great local spot. Looks a bit run down, however, the service and the atmosphere are great! The servers and bartenders were very attentive and friendly. The people here are really open and welcoming and just there to have a good time. I came here at night with some local friends and everyone was all smiles and having a good time. (of course, a couple of drinks later, and i was all smiles too) Good music and I heard the food was pretty good! This is a normal local bar at night, so no need to dress to impress. Just be yourself! read more

The food was typical plate lunch type food. It wasn't anything that made me want to jump and get excited about. The food is kind of pricey and the portions are so-so. For the price we paid we could've ate at Outback and got a better steak. read more

Food was really good! But for the service, I don't know why it took forever?! I have 3 boys who were super hungry! And they could have at least brought out their food instead of wait for all of us to get served! I don't understand how a family got served their food first and sat way after us! But who knows maybe cause they knew the manager or owner? Not sure! Definitely have to work on customer service and the speed of service! From all the reviews I read maybe they should think about what other people are saying and do something about it! Our server didn't even care to let us know that our food was coming or sorry it's taking so long! Didn't want to be mean but this place isn't really a family friendly place anyways... read more

I've lived in Waipio all my life and I've been to Nancy's about four times. That's not a bad thing, but I guess I'm a faux townie. Nancy's Kitchen is located in the Gentry Waipio Shopping Center. A lot of townies know where Costco is. Nancy's is not located in the same place! It's at the older shopping center, where Foodland is, closer to the Central Oahu Regional Park. My friends and I came on a Friday night this most recent time for dinner and drinks. The have a variety of local food choices, and my friend said that this place reminds him of a Denny's with local food. I ordered the fried chicken, and it was just alright. Overall my friends said the food was just alright, but hey, we were primarily there to drink. Prices aren't bad either. They had pitchers of Blue Moon on special for $15. They also had $5 shot specials. A lot of people who live on that side of the island typically come here. There's also a security guard there, just in case any funny business happens, if you know what I mean. read more

Nancy's (after hours) which starts at 9:00 pm to 2:00 am, is one of the best bar hangout spots on the Leeward side. There is ample amount of parking. Atmosphere is very laid back. Karaoke, music player, and darts are available. This place has its days - it can be really packed and busy or slow as hell. Lots of tables and booths available for seating, but can fill up quick especially when there are large parties. Staff and waitresses are really friendly here and are willing and able to deal with drunk people really well LOL! As far as food and drink, the Gnarly Bob Marley is a must try, just so you know what it's all about. They also have their daily specialty drinks. Food menu is pretty good too. They got a variety of pupu style food to choose from as well as entree plates as well. read more

Never been here before but friends recommended this place. Our party was seated very fast. Waitress came to take our order. We had 2 separate checks. She forgot to get 1 persons order though. We also got 3 appetizers. Our main meals came out before our appetizers. An appetizer is a small dish of food before the meal to stimulate one's appetite. Also called a " Starter " or a " First Course ". The meals came out first then the appetizers came out 5 to 10 minutes after. When the server dropped the check, she didn't let us know the "Service Charge" aka Gratuity was added on to the check. A 20% Service Charge / Gratuity is s bit much to expect from parties. Gratuities added to checks are illegal but the server says they call it a Service Charge. It's the same damn thing, you just word it differently. By adding in a 20% , the server probably didn't care that the appetizers came out last because she already knew she would get a 20 % tip whether she did s good job or not. She ended up taking it off the 20% "Service Charge". read more

This review is for the restaurant. Went to Nancy's for lunch on a Saturday. First thing I noticed when I walked in was how dark it was. Realized I had my sunglasses on, took them off....yep, still dark in the restaurant. Next thing I noticed was a funny smell--a mix of ammonia and old grease. The place was relatively empty, just a few diners and one big group of about 10 people. We stood there a few minutes before we were seated. The hostess/waitress didn't even bother to walk over to us, she asked us, loudly, from across the restaurant, "How many?" I ordered the hamburger steak; boyfriend ordered the pork chops. He was satisfied with his food; I wasn't. I don't mind eating steak that's still pink, but I hate when the hamburger in hamburger steak is undercooked. Mixed with the lingering stink smell...let's just say, not too appetizing. I also tried some of my boyfriend's pork chops. I've had better--including my own (and I'm no cook). I'm not rating this place on their service. This is the kind of place where it's no-frills, so I wasn't expecting top-notch service. However, I do appreciate good/decent food. In my opinion, the food is mediocre, at best. I don't think the price is worth it. Whenever I'm in the area and want good food, I'll go to Big City Diner. Because even though I've been there a million times and have exhausted their menu, I know I'll get good food for my money. read more

Wish I could give Nancy's 3.5 stars. I'm not exactly a fan ALL of the time because it's a hit or miss kinda place. My family and I have been coming here for yeeeears. The service was always pretty crap, especially when there was an older woman serving us. She was just kinda brash and unpleasant. No smiles, no greeting, no thank you's or anything like that. Haven't seen her in a long time, so meh. When we first started coming here, I would faithfully order the fried noodles and know that they would be kick-ass. Lately, though -- and we're talking maybe the last year or so -- the food has been sub-par. There have been two instances where I have ordered my main squeeze -- fried noodles -- and they weren't even warm. It's like they were never even thrown in the frying pan! Had to send that sucker back. And yeah, I'm always nice about it. Even sheepish! Another time I ordered the fried noodles (and this is when I brought my BFF here and insisted that she would LOVE the fried noodles, so she ordered the same thing) and when we got our order, there were like less than ten itty bitty little pieces of meat in there! It was like a plate full of noodles and nothing else! My friend looked at me with this "WTF?!" look on her face. We asked to have more meat and when the plates were brought back, they looked EXACTLY the same. True story. Sigh. I really don't know why we keep coming back. Convenience, I guess. There have also been instances of not getting our food for nearly an hour. And the place ain't *that* big, folks. I guess we're just creatures of habit. On another note, the adobo fried rice omelette is pretty good. My grandma really likes the Hawaiian plate. And we all like the different bar-style pupus. Sigh. Oh well. Need to find another place nearby for when I get my fried noodle fix. read more

Meh thats what my word is about Nancy's Kitchen. Arynn I and I deceided that we should get drinks at Nancy's since she lived close by and I had never been there before. I was super excited about it. Aparently they were closed for a while for renovations but now are back up!! The floors are super nice and so is the bar area but the restaurant looks like they put old booths in there and it looks kind of sketchy. But anyways. Arynn and I settled down for some drinks and she tells the bartender to make her something good and I order the blue moon summer ale. I take a drink of mine and realize its regular blue moon. I dont know if the summer ale tastes the same or what but since I like blue moon it was no big deal. Finally Arynn's drink was brought out. Now this is the part I have to warn you. I just got my bartending liscense so I was watching him make the drink and realized he should have put milk instead of the oj in the drink he did. When Arynn tried it she almost spit it out. But being a good sport she tried to drink it. I think the bartender overheard me and then brought her a new one with milk in it. (He had originally put espresso vodka, chocolate vodka and pinnacle whipped vodka with orange juice. Yuck) The one with milk ended up tasting better. Since Arynn and I had been talking I ended up finishing my beer and by this time the bartender and I had gotten chummy so I trusted him with making me a drink. He made me a guava something. It tasted like cough syrup it was digusting. I asked him what he gave me and he told me it was their guava drink and it was the most popular. Yuck. Next time let me go behind the bar I'll make myself a drink.. But anyways Mr. Bartender you get 5 stars for being cool but 1 star for drinks. I'll stick with beer. While Arynn and I were drinking we realized something one I was the only white girl in the building. And two all the waitress' huddled in the corner and talked story with their friends and ignored the customers. Service at the bar was great everywhere else it sucked. But if you can over look bad waitresses they have karaoke with out dated hawaiian music, darts and a fooseball table. Oh dont forget those touch screen games too!!! Seems like an okay bar but not my favorite. I'm one of those hyper drunks that needs space to either dance or play sports. Haha. Oh btw don't start fights here. When walking out I saw their security was two 300 pound samoa guys. Pretty sure they could lift me up with one arm. Made me feel safe and scared at the same time. read more
