My family and I are really enjoying breakfast at Nancy's Kitchen in Waipio. Our particular favorite are their poached eggs. They are always cooked to perfection, and are by far the best we've ever had. Many restaurants use vinegar in their poaching water to encourage the whites to coagulate quickly. We get put off when our eggs taste of vinegar, it drastically spoils the taste. At Nancy's Kitchen we have not ever experienced this problem, and we go at least twice a week. The prices are not bad, and Jessica the server, who works the breakfast shift is a Speedy Gonzales. She zooms around the restaurant taking excellent care of all her customers. We highly recommend! read more

I've gone here for dinner and also just for pupus and drinks. The service is quick and they're all so friendly. The best part is that they're open late til 2 on most nights and after the restaurant closes it turns into a bar/lounge area that has music, darts and karaoke. I'm not sure if they still do it but before they used to have a DJ on the weekend. You'll never be disappointed with the garlic fries and the kalua pig! They even have kalua pig nachos! And if you need a new drink to try, please try the gnarly Marley! A red yellow and green liquor mix that is amazing and so much fun to look at and drink! read more

Food the same.. the Hawaiian plate still not too bad, but the price really went up! By about $8!! Geez..

Bars are quite limited in the 94-block area (Waipahu) so if you're not willing to drive to town, then you might want to settle here. Nancy's Kitchen is located in Waipio Shopping Center near Big City Diner's. Some of the food here can delicious, especially their Hawaiian/local food. I love getting their kalua pig and chicken long rice. Some of the drinks are also good such as the pina colada and lava flow. However, with some food and drinks being delicious, others can be quite disappointing. And if busy, the service can be very slow. For example, my friends ordered the kimchi fried rice and garlic fries. Unfortunately, the waitress gave him regular fries and the kimchi fried rice wasn't mixed very well. The last time I came here, I ordered the "trash fries," which was supposed to be a combination of garlic fries and loaded fries. The fries were more on the soggy side, it wasn't very garlic-y, and the toppings weren't the best. For regular meals, I definitely recommend this place for a try. However, for maybe bar food, you might want to go somewhere else. On the other hand, it's a good place to chill with friends, play some darts, and drink in the area since it's never too crowded. read more

Because I live so close I frequently come to Nancy's Kitchen. They have a cool bar area (where you'll usually find me haha), I think I've only sat in the dining area once before and it was because there was a UH football game on so the place was full and we had no choice. Today's visit I opted for take out, I was craving LauLau and I didn't want to drive far and Nancy's is seriously 3 minutes away from home. The restaurants decor is a little outdated but the place in general is okay. Casual environment with a "local" feel. Plenty of parking in large parking lot, and conveniently located in the heart of Waipio Gentry across of the regional soccer park. I was actually surprised at how good the LauLau combo plate was! I don't ever hear anyone say "if you want good LauLau go to Nancy's" do I ahocked at how old it was as I was expecting "average" LauLau. The LauLau combo plate came with rice, LauLau, Kalua Pig, Lomi Salmon, & Haupia Dessert. Everything on the plate was yummy! I would definitely order again! read more

I wouldn't normally expect for a bar to serve food that is any better than mediocre, so at Nancy's I was impressed! Our server was also very friendly and attentive. I had Nancy's Hawaiian Plate, which comes with lau lau, kalua pig, lomi salmon, choice of rice or poi, onion and salt, and haupia, and a side of chicken long rice. It's a good value for all the food you get, and everything was so ono! The kalua was delicious and not very fatty, and the chicken long rice was more flavorful than most. read more

I came here today because I remember your pork chops when I used to work next door 5 years ago. I needed some home cooking tasting food. Wow.... The price was $25.95 for two chops, I'm like ok they are really good.. they came out with barely any color, small and skinny. Probably 6 to 7oz total. Served with rice i want to say canned green beans boiled to death. That plate cost at best $2 to make. I thought maybe sautéed onions on top would fix this problem I asked for some she said would you like some mushrooms I said yeah five minutes later I have a whole size platter of mushroom and onion. I thought that was strange, but honestly thought she was trying to make up for the unappetizing entrée. And I did everything I could to make this tastier with condiments, and I ate most of all because I was starving. When we were done, I asked for the check and was shocked that I had a $62 bill for a plain cheeseburger and fries and my pork chops with two beverages. Oh yes and the $11 side order of onions and mushrooms. When I asked for onions on top of my chop I am not requesting for a whole other side dish. I have now paid $37 for a dish. I did not actually even like and I just wanted some sautéed onions to help it out. I next to never take the time to vent. However, this was of great disappointment. Nancy was known to me and friends for good food. I realized it has been years and may be owners have changed. I don't know but I'm sure you can get it back. As for my server, she was nice however I did realize she has worked there for quite a long time and should know better than to do that. When I guest asked for some saute onions it does not mean I want a whole entrée. So we can increase the guest check. Suggestion, if a guest ever asked for some sautéed onions, and you don't have an up charge for just that item. Let them know that you're going to be charging them for a whole Other entrée . That's what prompted this review read more

Service is terrible! Ordered takeout a hamburger deluxe with no ketchup and mustard. Got home and discovered there was no lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. When I called, Jessica told me to come back to pick up the lettuce and tomatoes! Are you kidding me! She gave me a regular hamburger but still charged me for a hamburger deluxe! I called the next day asking for a manager, she was not in. I asked for the owners name all I got was Cynthia, the "worker" refused to give me her last name and she hung up on me! Rude workers! read more

2 stars because of poor sanitation (Dirty greasy menu). Food was Alright. Got the Buffalo Wild Wings ( which was too salty at some point). Nacho fries was ok nothing special. Came here to have a few after work and ended up leaving without finish my food and a half bottle of beer:/ read more

Ordered the Bento #1 for breakfast. The bento consisted of 2 fried chicken wings, a piece of luncheon meat, 1 piece of teri beef, 1 scoop rice, 1 piece of takuwan (pickled daikon), 1 ume (pickled plum), small scoop of mac salad and a small portion cup of ranch.The menu consists of the usual standard breakfast items, eggs, fried rice, pancakes etc. They also serve lunch and dinner. Parking was easy to find. The place was empty when we got there but soon after it started filling up. The lighting is kinda dark because it's a bar on one side with dart machines. The other side is a restaurant where I sat. There was only 1 waitress Jessica. Poor thing! She was running around looking stressed. Theu used to have more wait help. Food came out in a timely manner. Not the healthiest food but it was decent. The bathroom was clean. I wish they would install a hook in the stall for ladies to hang their purse. Shucks! I forgot to take a picture of my plate lol. read more

Two weeks ago we went to Nancy's Waipio, to eat and watch the UH game. We ordered the kalua nachos and it took 1-1/2 hours for them to bring that 1 item. The table next to us also waited even longer for their food. When I asked the waitress if there would be any type of discount for such a long wait. Her reply was that there would be no discount and if you don't want it I can take it back. UNREAL. Terrible customer service. So we went back to Nancy's yesterday to watch the game again, and the waitress said their new RULES are that if everyone in your party are not here then you can't sit in the restaurant. WTH. How are you going to make money if you don't sit customers. So my group and another group of 5 left and went to BIG CITY DINER. where we were served with AWESOME AND FRIENDLY staff. Nancy's you just lost 11 customers. ALOHA. read more

Like their fried saimin, wontonmin with vegetables and Teri beef sandwich the best! And plenty of parking

Went there for breakfast this morning at 11am. Had a white hair in my rice. I pulled it out thru my lips. Notified the waitress who took the plate away, and told her I would still pay for my meal ($8), but wanted you to know. Period. She then comes back to tell me, it wasn't a hair but part of my scrambled egg that fried like a string, and also added that no one in the kitchen had white hair, and left. WOW! now I'm pissed! I know what a hair is, that was no egg. How STUPID can this server be? Now I want my $8 back. But now I won't ever go back there, and yes I will veto any ideas of the gang eating there again. Ordered the Portuguese Sausage eggs and rice. The Portuguese Sausage was greasy and fatty. Not tasty at all. Not worth $8 read more

Nancy's Kitchen. (1 star) Where do I start?? With the waitress who treated us like we were so blessed to have her as our server?? Or the tone in her voice as I asked if the poke was fresh fish or frozen??!! So there were three of us who decided to meet here. My friend suggested this place so I said OK. Bad idea... I ordered: -Deep Fried Pork Chops -Fried Calamari Rings They should FIRE the DEEP FRYER COOK!! Deep Fried Pork Chops. (1 star) I could tell before I even bit into this mess that the cook had fried this pork chop at least three times before it was served to me. The batter was cold and basically falling off the pork chop and the meat was burnt!! This is not even in the same universe as Side Street Inn!! The "special sauce" that is served with this dish is just mayo mixed with Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce. Disgusting!! Fried Calamari Rings. (1 star) Again, this fried dish was awful!! I could tell just by the color of the batter that this dish wasn't going to be edible!! The calamari rings had to have been fried at least three times before being served to me. The "cocktail sauce" that was served with this dish just tasted like tomato sauce. So disappointing!! How in the world does this dump stay open??!! So aggravating!! I paid $30 for crap!! I ate one bite of each dish and pushed it away. The waitress just looked at me and never once did she have the guts to ask me what I thought of that slop!! She was smart because I would have told her!! Even after her horrible service and the inedible food I decided to leave 20% tip because it was my way of saying even though this place sucks I will be nice this one and only time I come here!! Save your money and your sanity and eat somewhere else!! read more

I went here for my 21st birthday and actually really enjoyed it. It was the only bar nearby that was open after I finished work at 11PM on a Monday. The bartenders were nice, drinks were good and fairly priced; very homey, nothing fancy. Came here tonight (Monday, 11/19/2018) for my boyfriend's birthday and it was alright until they literally kicked us out at 1:30AM. Our server yelled at us from across the room, "Alright guys, its time to go, finish up, gotta get out of here!" She actually did this twice within a few minutes while we were trying to finish our drinks. Totally unapologetic and clearly didn't give a shit. Had she at least apologized, or let us know that they were closing early tonight, we would have happily left and gotten out of their hair, and I wouldn't be writing this lol. Maybe they were having a shitty night. At least we can have a shitty night together, now, because that was a buzzkill. read more

Nancy's Kitchen - Should add that lounge hours are subject to change. - Bars Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

I've had the craving for some kalua pig and lomi salmon. My boyfriend's dad chose this place for dinner in Waipio. I've never heard of this place before. Usually you'd have to wait for someone to seat you, but not us. Walked to the bar area and sat ourselves. Interior of the place isn't anything special. It took a while before someone came by with menus and later to take our orders and give us water. I thought about ordering their "Hawaiian Plate" but I didn't want everything that was on it. Just ordered the lomi salmon, kalua pig and two scoops of rice. One scoop wouldn't have been enough. Along with that, we ordered ahi poke, fringes (sp?) --it has both onion rings and fries and boyfriend ordered the kalua nachos. As our order came out, we started to realize how much food we had ordered. It was a lot. Their kalua pig was so good and so filling that once I got home I went straight to sleep. Didn't like their ahi poke, and I didn't try the nachos but boyfriend liked it. As we were eating though, two dogs, NOT ONE, TWO. Came from the kitchen area. Were they dinner? (I hope not) or someone's pet? I won't know. I just know you wouldn't want to have dog hair in your food!!! --I would have given a four star if it wasn't for this. They have darts and a big iPod looking thing on their wall. read more

If you're hungry and have no idea what you want to eat, then Nancy's may be your choice because they have a little bit of everything. I'd consider this local diner food, though how can avoid the Hawaiian food menu?!!! They're open all day so whether you're looking for a place for brunch / lunch with your family or a night out for drinks with friends, then you really can't go wrong. The staff are friendly and helpful. Ice cream cake for dessert. Dart boards available, in case you're down for a challenge. read more

I'm simply going to state the facts on our visit to Nancy's kitchen. You decide weather or not it's a good or bad review. I ordered the house sirloin steak. Medium well. The presentation was wonderful. It came to us on a Sizzling plater plate. Which was not expected. By the time I took my second or third bite. It's was now a well done steak. Server was polite and offered to replace it with another steak on a plain plate. Which he politely did. Presentation, again, was very nice. However after eating about 25% of the steak, I began cutting into raw meat that had simply been seared and had only the appearance of a medium cooked steak. I stopped eating it and demanded the check. I payed over $30.00 for a forgettable steak dinner. My wife, however enjoyed her ribeye which was nicely done. She even tipped the server $10.00 dollars, minutes before I got the final bill. read more

Don't let this old school place fool you....food is winner, you should go there for breakfast for sure...get the pancakes... Haven't tried lunch or dinner but go for some late night drinks if you are in the mood for karaoke, reasonably priced drinks, good and reasonable $$ pupus and a bunch of people just having a good time. This is not your normal "get decked up" kind of place and I like it that way. Shorts and tshirt if you feel like it or stop by after a dinner for some drinks. Always some kind of beer pitcher special or a drink special on point and the wait staff is friendly and helpful even with a PACKED house. You might have to wait for your pupus so order as soon as you get there. Ask for Taysia, she is happy, friendly and helpful. If you are in Waipio and want to go somewhere for some kick back, enjoyable, good time, go to Nancy's Kitchen....I will update when I eat a lunch or dinner there! read more

Nancy's Kitchen is a great spot to go to chill and dress down "just a lil" compared to the town bars and such. A lot of the west-siders go here so you'll see a lot of familiar faces all the time. The food is affordable, but I don't think it has much "quality." I think they serve more Hawaiian food... but when I say much "quality".... i'm saying it's super fatty ya know, the whole fast food ordeal. A lot of my friends say the drink prices are expensive, but they are girls lol. We think EVERYTHING is expensive when it comes to drinks. I don't know though... I swear I saw like $5-$6 beers. So I'd say that's pretty average. This isn't really my scene, I probably hit it up if that's where the boys decide to go and I'm not all about dressing up that night. Hmm I guess I need to become a "regular" to really feel the "nancys kitchen" demand. It does remind me of those "regular" bars you see on tv, like some main bar that everyone goes to to hang out... Most say it caters to the younger crowd (for a bar on this side) 20's, early 30's... but you'll see a good mix. It's not your fancy shmancy but it's a really cool place to "beat the stress" and unwind. They also have a darts and .... oooh KARAOKE!!!!... it's awesome cuz the entire facility will hear your belted tunes! oh & SCORE... parking is FREE and plentiful. read more

Decided to go to Nancy's in Waipio Gentry to check out the NBA finals game with my friend. Nancy's is a small bar and diner in Waipio shopping center where Foodland is. I wanted to watch the game there and enjoy a beer and just hang out in the a.c. We decided the get onion rings and garlic fries for an appetizer bc it sounded good on the menu. However it was over $12 and when we got it...the portion was not what we expected. Also the taste of the fries and onion rings were so so and not the best. We were dissapointed but had to finish it to get out monies worth. For early dinner l was pondering on getting either the Hawaiian plate or the loco moco. I got the loco moco bc I did not feel like Hawaiian food. The loco moco was not that special and again so so. At least the beef patty was big...but I needed to add salt and pepper for more flavor. I should of gotten the Hawaiian plate bc it looked good. Next time if I do go back. In all Nancy's is a good place to hang out and have a beer or so. I noticed that they do have several dart boards...and would be a good place to play darts. Next time I will get their Hawaiian plate...and if you like ok $$ for beer their prices are decent. read more

Ever since me and my wife were young, we used to love coming here. The atmosphere was great before, and there used to be so much great service and love here. What a fall from grace since those glory days. My family came home from the mainland following a recent loss in the family around october. We had just had a funeral yesterday and today, we took family photos very early in the morning. We came to Nancy's hungry, with many mouths to feed and much more money to shell over to this beloved business of ours. We did notice an absence of workers, but we shrugged it off. It was only once we ordered did our lunch become a nightmare. The waiter asked us what we wanted. We responded. We waited. We waited. We continued to wait. TWO HOURS HAD PASSED UNTIL WE FINALLY GOT OUR FOOD!! I was soo fackin pissed. My family was pissed. We were so damn hungry, it was a damn joke how long we had to wait. My nephews was getting mad, my cousins too! I understand youre understaffed or whatever, but why even bring in a party of 20, knowing damn straight you cannot even service us all. Fucken stupid if you ask me. My cousins were smart cause they decided to leave already and go eat at Shay's Filipino Kitchen. I dont even know why we went. We neva get anything out of it except being able to watch the Vikings face the Cowboys. We waited so fucken long for constant confusion from the dodohead waitress, mixing up orders of burgers with fries and fried rice, and the other waiter who was only serving water and utensils. What a dumbass, all other times he would just stand there not even offering to help the waitress. Fucken unbelievable. These understaffed twats only took us in knowing we'd give them a real pretty penny without being able to give us any satisfaction whatsoever. What the hell, after all was said and done and we was ready to check out, this fucken dumbeh waitress asked us for a 20% tip. This arrogant bitch said "maybe i deserve such a fat tip after they looked at me like an idiot!" I cannot believe anybody would do such a thing. They need to take a damn break and get some more workers before they open up again just so they can cater to the people who wanna play darts at 1 and forget about the other dining room full of people. Unbelievable! Nobody should come here until this restaurant can get a competent workforce and a manager who wont hide their tail between their fucken legs and show up to work! Its embarassing how bad this service was! They couldnt even get 5 burgers out consistently! I wouldnt recommend anybody come here until they get their shit together finally. Horrible and slow. read more

Service makes such a difference! I came here on a Saturday with a hole crapload of people that I work with. We were saying our goodbye's to our fabulous staff from the mainland who we've been working with since the summer...and it was their time to go home. Part of the reason I came was because I live within walking distance. Another reason was to say goodbye. My last reason was..for the drinks? But in anycase, our group pretty much took over the entire bar area from the darts section up to the tables. I sat at the bar because that seemed to be the best place. I could get my drinks from the awesomest bar tender and watch what was happening down by the darts and still easily pop up to say hello/goodbye while people came in and out. Now, I'm all about drink specials and during the UH game there was some beer specials going on...I don't like beer but I was trying to watch the wallet...so I had one...and then...at 9:00 Corey, our fab bartender, let me know of "frou frou" drink specials. I ended up getting a Guri Guri which tasted EXACTLY like a liquid version of the snack and got my friend a swirly temple (not exactly sure what it tasted like cause I didn't try that one) Wow. The drink was delish! and though it's not the strongest drink in the world it did it's job...i was VERY tipsy. In any case, Corey did an excellent job of checking up on the group and it was fun to watch him busy himself serving up drinks to my friends and to me. He even reads minds cause he put up a glass of water before I asked...which I was just about to. I love the guri guri drink and will probably only get it when Corey is bartending! I had such an awesome experience on this visit and will be looking forward to the next. #Yelp 365 Challenge - 065/365 read more

Unfortunately, the food and service is going down. The one star is for the mere access to the bar side. We came here recent and there was a sign up that said "wait to be seated." The hostess came by and said, "how many?" We told and with zero eye contact says, you can sit anywhere. We ordered from a waitress who is always there (kind of small, skinny, Filipino lady with big breasts), she is nice but not very good at following through on orders, it's very surface. For example, my husband ordered the chicken Katsu with brown gravy, came with Katsu sauce, I asked for gravy on the rice, it came with no gravy on the rice The food quality is terrible!!!! It used to be good, not sure what's happening. I know for sure they don't change the deep frying oil as they should, burnt French Fries and crispy Katsu (but chicken inside not cooked good ). This is how you get people sick. The food also takes forever to come. Water quality- my son says it was good. Sorry to say this is it for us and Nancy's as far as food goes. The bar, we may or may not return. read more

My husband and I are always looking for good local bars to kick it at and wind down. We lived in Waipio for about 7 months and always wanted to try Nancy Kitchen since we live right up the road and it would be perfect commute for us. Tonight we decided to give it a try. I read the reviews before coming, their was good and bad like any place. We went in there around 730, it wasnt crowded, very spacious and comfortable. Their was a sign that stated to wait for seating. Their is a dinning area and a bar area. If you want to eat at the dinning area you wait to be seated while the bar area you can freely seat yourself. We sat at the bar. Theirs a bunch of TV, dart boards, and Karaoke. Very casual, relaxed and enjoyable. The waitress was nice and served us immediately. Ordered our drinks and help me choose a non alcoholic drink. She fairly checked up on us when needed. Not constantly bugging us or ignoring us. It was comfortable. We ordered pupu's only. Steak with mushroom, bacon wrapped shrimp and kalua pig nachos. The steak with mushroom came with onions and it was delish. The steak was cooked to our liking while eating it with the mushroom and onion all together. The bacon wrapped shrimp was very tasty. It only came with three pieces, which was a slight disppoitment but honestly the taste made up for it. The kalua pig nachos, we got without jalapenos, was good too. I mean...nachos is nachos..so it was good. Overall, service was on point, food was delicious, the place was comfortable and worth going back too. We're just excited to find a good local bar/resturant close to our home and and try the other food on the menu. Can't wait to go back. read more

Omg...I used to go to this place to drink and never tasted their food lol... until today... my husband was craving Hawaiian food and we live mililani and knew there isn't much Hawaiian food places here. We end up driving to wahiawa because he heard of this place called uncle lani's, got there it was closed but I told my husband I thought it was a poi mochi place anywhoz I started thinking of restaurants in the waipio area and this place popped into my head. I called found that they serve Hawaiian food and we both was extremely Happy because I was driving here and there I started craving Hawaiian food too. Mahalo Nancy's we both got the Hawaiian plate that consisted of pork laulau and had one piece fish too, kalua pig, lomi salmon, piece of haupia, piece of an onion with red Hawaiian salt, I think, choice of rice or poi and of course we both got poi. On top of that while driving I told my husband im wondering if they sell squid luau... so I called back and BOOM SHAKALAKZ... they do and stew luau...I ordered a large side poi and squid luau... cravings satisfied for both parties lol oh and the onion was sweet.... Soooooo onolish read more

The 2 stars were for service. The food was bad. Save your money, try somewhere else. Got the french dip sandwich with fries and the hamburger steak plate. Where to begin....well the french dip sandwich was served on a hot dog bun....not a french roll or some other hearty bread you'd expect for dipping your sandwich into au jus, the meat for the sandwich was tough and cold....refrigerator cold and the au jus tasted pretty bad. The fries were nice and hot! Next the hamburger steak plate was an unseasoned hamburger patty served with very "unrich, unsavory " gravy and frozen vegetables and your choice of starch. The service was fine, just the food was so, so....blah. read more

First time and might be the only time. Not because they're a bad place. We just happened to be in Waipio area and wanted to get food and have a drink. Stopped in around 4pm and it was pretty empty (normal for a Sunday in my perspective) so we were sat right away. For me, I don't particularly enjoy menus with too many choices and this one had way too many. It is well organized but I just felt overwhelmed with choices. Another note on the menu, no sign of alcoholic beverages on it, kinda just asked for a regular name brand, didn't even know they offer pitchers. Must be something for those that are regulars or those that sit at the bar. For my boyfriend, he ordered the honey dipped chicken, which he didn't feel tasted very 'honey' or sweet, more salty if anything. There was a misunderstanding with the side orders and that just frustrates me. I'd go back for the bar, dining is not the attraction for me. But a trusted friend recommends it and I will go back with an open mind. read more

I can't understand the poor reviews on Nancy's. Been coming here for years and thoroughly enjoy this locally owned restaurant. The employees here hustle and yes at times it can be a bit of a wait for the food but we love it here. Great variety in the menu and prices are low compared to other restaurants. We had the sizzling rib eye tonight and loved it. And on Wednesdays we even get a senior discount! read more

So me and a couple friends went to Nancy's to have a few drinks, the bartenders were so busy, only 2 of them. Their should have been more. Took long to get our drinks first of all, second they got confused between cash and a tab. Drinks that were bought with cash got put in the register later the other bartender put it on our tab. So $40 cash for drinks and another $51 for a tab ? $91 for drinks that only cost $46. The bartender swear they gave back the money from the drinks and put it on the tab, NO THEY DID NOT!! The small bartender who thinks she's so gorgeous got very sassy about it too. She has to watch her mouth and attitude before she comes across the wrong person that don't take her crap. Don't come here it's a waste of money and bad vibes go somewhere fun where they know what they are doing!! Ruined the rest of our night. read more

If you had Beef Luau or any type of Luau stew you would know that it consist of lots of Luau leaf not here at Nancy's Kitchen it's more like beef broth, one luau leaf and oxtail meat very odd and surprised to see it come out the way it did. If I knew it was coming out the way it did I would have never ordered their poi. I told the Vietnamese lady you brought the dish that it looked like Oxtail soup and that my meal is suppose to look like your Squid Luau but with tender beef she responded as if i didn't know what I was talking about mind you I make this dish at home well that being said if you want Oxtail Soup without the bone and Price order Nancy's Kitchen Beef Luau it taste exactly the same. I make better authentic Hawaiian food at home read more

Yesterday was my first time coming here in a really long time. I went about 5pm. Restaurant side was empty and only a few patrons on the bar side. To sum up, it was just as bad as I remembered...mostly due to the service. There was one lady who sat us and waited on us. She took a while to greet us at the door that I was afraid my phone was going to die, and I wouldn't be able to show my negative Covid test results. When we got seated, it also took a while to get menus. When we finally did, I asked about happy hour. The waitress was pretty snarky. Any time I'd ask a question, she would respond in an almost cutting-me-off kind of way! They didn't have much options on the happy hour menu and she said it was already done as it was 5:03pm - three minutes after happy hour ended! Maybe we could've placed an order if she didn't take minutes to greet/seat us and bring menus. Anyhow, already turned off by her customer service, nothing looked appetizing to order...especially their $9.75 "Basic Fries" to which I jokingly asked if that was for real, referencing the price. She came back at me and said "Our food is not cheap!" as in suggesting that it's some high quality food. Well, these fries better be from potatoes imported from the South of France. In any case, we ordered just one drink and left. It was not a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The lady's service was almost like she's doing us a favor for US to give them business. Change the waitstaff and offer better menu/price options! It may be another 5 or 6 years until I step foot in there again hoping that things have changed...just as I did yesterday...only to find out it was just as bad as I remembered it 5 or 6 years ago. Hopefully, they read these reviews to know where to improve. read more

Mornings hours, one hostest, one cook. Waited 20 minutes for food that was bland and tasteless.

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
