We had a party of 6. We arrived and hadn't been there before. We walked in and awkwardly stood around for a few minutes with no one greeting us. Several workers passed by without saying anything. We went up to worker who said we could sit wherever and she'd be with us soon. We told her we would be sitting outside, and she said that was fine. After about 10 minutes of waiting at our table with no one coming by, one of us went inside and found a worker to ask for menus. Server came out soon after that and took our order. We all ordered at the same time. About 15ish minutes later, four of the six orders were brought out. Everything was correct. All 4 people happy. Good food in good timing. Drink refills were asked for but after about 10 minutes of waiting for them, someone had to go inside and ask at the bar for the some refills. About 15 minutes after the first four meals were brought out, a fifth meal was finally brought out. At this time, the final person still waiting for food was asked by the server what it was she had ordered, and said that she would go check on it. That meal was then brought out about 5 minutes after that (a solid 20 minutes after the first four were served - 3 of those people had already finished eating at this point). These last two meals were loaded nachos and a frito pie. Both came out with shredded cheese melted on top instead of queso (which is what the menu listed for both items). Weird, because two of the orders that did come out in a timely manner were also loaded nachos, but those had queso on them - not shredded cheese melted in a microwave. They apparently ran out of queso after making two of the 4 orders that required queso...and spent 15-20 minutes shredding some cheese and microwaving it on for these other two meals. Not a word was said by the waitress about the kitchen running out of queso. Not a word of apology for the meals arriving at wildly different times. Melted on shredded cheese is a bit of a joke for $14 nachos. At least the frito pie was only $8. Service overall was pretty awful. Refills were requested three times and only brought out one of those times. Server had to be sought out - she maybe checked on the table once of her own volition the entire hour or so we were there. Seems like the place is probably poorly managed. The waitress should have been communicated to by the kitchen as soon as the food order was put in that they did not have enough queso for four meals, so she could come back and apologize for the inconvenience and ask what we wanted to do. A table of 6 should never have 2 of the 6 people served 15-20 minutes after the other four people when everyone puts in their order at the same time- especially when the meals are simple (frito pie and nachos). Refills should show up promptly a within a few minutes of request. If it takes longer, the server should apologize for the wait. Never should a customer feel the need to seek out their own refill because they haven't seen their server for 10 minutes after asking for one. All simple things that scream poor training, poor hiring/firing, and bad communication. Will maybe give it another try in the future because the atmosphere is great, but yeah....pretty poorly run place.
