Two words? Just Brutal! The moment we approached the patio entrance we literally were assaulted by the host, who couldn't have been ruder and put his sweaty hand on my shoulder, which I promptly flicked off. There were three of us and we wanted to just go to the bar, but there were only two seats available and the host wouldn't let one of us stand even though the patio area was dead. Ridiculous. So we sat at a table and decided to get some food with our margaritas that barely had any alcohol. I think mine had none, actually. And they were only $8.50. What a bargain. The food was horrendous. The wings were a step above Tyson frozen wings, if that. They were like rubber and I think the blue cheese was actually ranch dressing that was weeks old. The nachos were a pile of sloppy chips with cheeze whiz microwaved on top. Served in a plastic bowl, no less. The chili reminded me of the food I feed my dog. This place is just terrible. And one last thing, don't try and take a beer into the downstairs bar if you don't feel like being screamed at.
