  A group of eleven of us went here after bowling for my 31st birthday. It was close to the bowling alley and didn’t have much of a wait. A couple from our group had been there before for a party and had a break experience. A few of my friends had had some drinks and were a little loud so I asked the hostess to sit us outside on the front patio. The heaters were really nice! At first, our experience was excellent. We only had one waiter for our table and he had several other tables inside, so I know the poor kid was strapped. It took awhile to get our drinks initially but the waiter kept up as well as could be expected seeing as he was by himself. The manager came out and helped him a little and was very friendly and joking with our table. Then after more than an hour after ordering, we still didn’t have our food. Eventually the food started coming, but two guys at our table never got their food...one of which bought a $100 round of drinks for the table. We brought it to the manager’s attention and he pretended to go in and check on the issue. He may have, but it took another 20 minutes before he came back (still no food for my friends). I did see him multiple times stopping by to chat with a very pretty blonde lady sitting at the bar, so we saw that his priority wasn’t customer service. The manager came back by and we shared our experience again, a bit pissed at this point but the two guys were so mad they just wanted to get their checks and go. The manager offered them a to-go plate, but seeing as how we had already been there more than two hours, we just paid our checks and left. My friend and I literally went across the street to Arby’s to get him dinner before heading back to our city. I was livid. Some birthday dinner. I wouldn’t go back to this place even if it was on the house. One of the top two worst dining experiences I’ve ever had...and that includes more than 25 states and multiple countries. Awful!
