Went there tonight for a friends birthday, we were a party of 6. Honestly, it was one of the worst meals I have had in a very very long time.

First, the drinks weren’t any good. Overly sweet with too much mixer/juice for the cocktails. The Corona was cold, at least.

The appetizers were decent but took forever to come out. I’ve eaten entire meals including appetizers, entree and dessert in the time it took those appetizers to come out. The eggplant balls were good but at $15 it was $5 per each little ball. Onion rings were good. Their version of debris fries were not great. There was a lot of them but it was cold.

Cold food continued to be the theme for the entrees. After waiting another 45 minutes, we finally got the entrees. The worst roast beef poboy I’ve ever had. No flavor, cold, slimy, the color was gray. The fries were cold and seemed like you got what was left at the bottom of the bag. Out of the 6 of us, only one person liked their meal. One was so bad that the manager came over because she noticed my friend had only taken one bite of it. It was the fish tacos and it tasted fishy in the worst way.

Not sure how this place gets any repeat customers.

Anyone else been and like it? Did we all just order wrong, get them on a bad night or what?

We went a few months ago. I thought it was not good.

I wouldn't go back.

I really liked the arancini ball both times I went. Got a hot chicken waffle sandwich that was pretty good, and got the roast beef poboy which wasn’t.

Funny you mention the arancini and hot chicken waffle sandwich. We wanted the arancini but they were out (we got there at 6pm so it was early) and that sandwich is the only thing anyone at our table liked.

I think they are having serious staffing issues. First few times I went, it was solid. I tried to go a few days ago and was told a 30m wait when there were empty tables.

I went and ordered at Orange float and saw them put 2$ worth of ice cream and top it off with fanta from their fountain and I think it was 8$... They didn't even stir it for that much lol

I also got the philly cheese steak and while I really liked the poblano peppers on it, it came on a hamburger bun... not great. Worth giving it another shot but they better be on their game when I do.

I agree, probably the best I have ever had.

Unfortunately, this was our experience as well. To their credit, they did comp quite a few items voluntairly.
