Tasted and felt like they came right out of the fridge or were just cut up and served raw. There was very little seasoning on everything. Burger we ordered was also pretty bad. So so dry, completely overcooked. Ate 1/4 of it. Everything was under seasoned and very under or over cooked, and things like canned mushrooms instead of fresh, made it pretty disappointing. We left at noon. We heard this was a fluke and that something was going on in the kitchen both with how long it took and how things were prepared. So hopefully that's true. But honestly 2.5 hours for a sub par meal isn't worth a return for us. We ate here last year and it was better, but it still took forever and some of the food was still just ok. The service was good. The girls were accommodating and our server comped my meal and only charged me for the eggs I ate. But honestly the entire dish and more should've been comped as all our potato sides were inedible and were left. Disappointing.

When the host finally spoke to us, there was no real greeting--just "table for two?" followed by a quoted 20-minute wait. He didn't make eye contact, seemed distracted, and even had to ask for our name more than once because he wasn't paying attention. We were told to wait outside like others, which was fine, but the 20-minute wait turned into about an hour. During that time, we noticed multiple groups who arrived after us being seated before us. No one came out to call our name like they were doing for others. When we went back inside to check, my boyfriend was brushed off and told to wait again while the host seated another group that had just arrived. He said he felt like he was being treated as impatient just for asking about the wait. At that point, we were ready to leave, but suddenly we were seated. The lack of organization, communication, and basic courtesy made the experience feel very unprofessional. We understand restaurants get busy, but guests should still be treated with respect and fairness.
