Food Rating: 1 star Service Rating: 1 star…read more To be fair, our main server Caden was very cordial, apologetic, and did his best to turn things around. We only wish he had been our first point of contact, as the rest of the experience was a disaster from start to finish. The Service & Drink Order: * 25-minute wait for basic drinks: After ordering 3 waters, 2 Cokes, and 1 Sprite, the original person who took our order completely vanished. A second person checked in at the 20-minute mark, and Caden finally delivered our drinks 25 minutes after we sat down. * Gross contamination: One glass of water tasted like seawater, and another had hair in it. Caden promptly replaced them with fresh glasses. * Zero attention on the patio: I had to walk inside to get straws. Three separate staff members walked right past me before I had to physically flag someone down. The Food & Long Waits: * Endless waiting: It took 25 minutes just to have our food order taken, followed by a 45-minute wait for the food to arrive. * Lack of basic service: For a group that ordered an appetizer to share (potato skins), we were never given small sharing plates. We ate off of napkins sinc no one came to check on us and we didn't want to eat a cold appetizer because.... See next bullet * Cold food: When the food finally arrived, both orders of steak bites as well as the French fries were cold. Caden was the only bright spot of the evening, but one hard-working server can't make up for severe kitchen delays, poor hygiene, and a completely unorganized staff. Will not return and would not recommend.

I've been coming here for years whenever I visit Avila Beach. Even after the switch to…read moreself-service, I would still regularly stop by for the coconut shrimp to go. Unfortunately, my first dine-in experience since then was really disappointing. The fettuccine Alfredo was just okay, and I definitely wouldn't recommend the steamed clams. But what really ruined the experience was the bartender. I was standing in line at the bar waiting to order a drink. When it was finally my turn, the bartender took the order of someone who had arrived after me but was already seated at the bar. At first, I didn't think much of it. I assumed customers who were already seated were being served first, so I just waited. Then, a white woman who had been standing in line behind me sat down at the bar. The bartender skipped me again and took her order instead. Thankfully, she immediately pointed out that I had been ahead of her and had been waiting first. The bartender eventually took my order, but his attitude toward me was extremely cold and unfriendly. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but after being passed over twice, I couldn't help but wonder if race had something to do with it. That's what made the experience especially disappointing. I've been a longtime customer and have always enjoyed stopping here whenever I'm in Avila Beach. Unfortunately, after this experience, I'll think twice before coming back.

Random road trip stop near the outlets led us to Huckleberry's. This appears to be a small…read morefranchise that serves American breakfast and lunch. We arrived on a Saturday around noon and the restaurant was busy, but we were seated in 10 minutes. The restaurant is a bit noisy, but they are kid friendly with a kid's menu and crayons. Overall the food was good and the service was friendly. The kids pancake meal came with 2 huge pancakes that neither of my kids could finish. My husband got the chicken burger which was good except the fries were cold and soggy. My salad was okay. Overall a good stop for a family brunch with lots of options.

I had a very disappointing experience at this location yesterday. Thankfully, I've visited other…read moreHuckleberry's locations before, so I know this experience does not represent the entire brand. I arrived around 12:00 p.m. and was warmly greeted by a young Hispanic hostess, who seated me in the very back corner of the restaurant where there were no other guests. I waited until approximately 12:10 p.m. before she returned and asked if anyone had taken my order yet. I told her they had not. During that time, another group of gentlemen was seated toward the front of the restaurant. They received their drinks and appetizers before anyone had even come to take my drink order. That was the first moment I realized something wasn't right. Writing this review is difficult because I genuinely dislike making issues about race. I believe that accusations of discrimination should never be made lightly. However, what happened next left me deeply unsettled. The hostess walked over to several servers who were gathered near the kitchen area. From where I was sitting, it appeared she was trying to find someone to serve me. None of the servers responded until a young woman standing near the register said out loud, "I'll just help him." At that moment, I couldn't help but wonder what was happening. I was the only Black customer in the restaurant. There were more servers than guests, several employees had made eye contact with me, and yet no one had come to my table. Whether intentional or not, I was made to feel overlooked and unimportant. When the server finally came to my table, I only ordered an appetizer because I was seriously considering leaving. I had specifically come for the fried green tomatoes, so I decided to stay. Even then, the appetizer took another 15 minutes to arrive, while other customers continued receiving their food and drinks at what appeared to be a normal pace in a restaurant that was not busy. Eventually, my entrée arrived, but for the remainder of my visit I felt completely ignored. When it was time to leave, I walked to the front to pay my bill myself. Despite how I felt, I still left a tip because I believe in treating people with kindness and respect regardless of my experience. I'm sharing this review not out of anger, but because I want management to understand how this experience made me feel. I left feeling disrespected, overlooked, and expendable. Whether what happened was intentional or simply poor service, the impact was the same. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this location, and I sincerely hope no one else leaves feeling the way I did.

The booths are super comfortable and match the aesthetic perfectly! They have juke boxes on the table (just for show), but you still can make requests through main machine. The walls have time period movie posters and other fun decor. I loved the timeline along the border and I was amazed at some of the facts! The staff was super attentive and made sure we always had what we needed. The food was delicious diner food! I ordered the BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fries, my dad got the Ortega burger and fries, my mom got the pastrami and fries, and my son got the Dino nuggets and fries. We ended the meal with a couple of shakes. Everybody was thoroughly impressed with the amount of food we got! The food and shakes were very tasty! We will definitely be back again! I want to try some of the Greek offerings on the menu next time and it looks like they also BBQ on site as well!! Parking was easy to find on the street right in front of the restaurant. It's also off of the main road so it's a lot easier to deal with.

The waitstaff checked in on us promptly and repeatedly without being overbearing. I ordered the barbecue sampler platter, and it was delicious. My 6-year-old ordered a cheeseburger and a Roy Rogers to drink. Surprisingly, he ate the entire thing, which is rare for him! There was plenty of street parking out front, I even managed to park our truck and toy hauler without any issues. The inside was tastefully decorated and had a nice, welcoming atmosphere. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stop by again.

Tried their sandwiches and bowls and really liked the balance of sauce/flavoring with letting the natural ingredients come through. Just prepared very well and even nice to look at. What impressed me even more though was the service. They were super busy while we were there and we admittedly mixed up the name of a dish. Twice. When the food came and we finally figured it out, they were incredible gracious and kindly fixed it all for us without even a hint of annoyance. All while serving the gazillion other folks without missing a beat. Just super competent manager and staff. Top class.

Rooster creek has great employees, great food, and it feels like the biggest small town restaurant you could ask for. I love that they are flexible on menu options. I can order things that used to be on the menu but aren't there now. When people hear me order something, they look at the menu and ask, "what did you order?" My go to is the Cobb salad, unless they have a special that is too good to pass up. If I'm craving a Ribeye, it is top shelf and they cook it perfect every time. No secret, I will be back again and again. Cheers!!!
