   It was closed! No notification. No signage. Just…closed. I think it’s still in operation, but you couldn’t have proven it by the looks of the place. DON’T TAKE RESERVATIONS IF YOU ARENT GOING TO BE OPEN!!!!

   Father’s Day out of 8 dishes 4 were sent back, so bad the waitresses offered a huge discount, which we declined, but she did it anyways. Great front house service, opened late on Father’s Day very short staffed

   Our experience would have been 5 stars, but our waitress seemed to have a teeny tiny bit of an attitude.

   I made 6:30 reservations, thinking that would be plenty of time to eat and arrive at the theater directly across the street by 7:30. We placed our order right away, but at 7pm we still didn't have our appetizer. We told the waitress that we needed to leave in 20 minutes- she expressed that they only had one person in the kitchen, and that there was no way our food would be out in time. We left without eating- and sat through a three-hour show starving. Additionally, they have no beer on tap even though the taps are there and on the menu. Unfortunatley, I think this is a sinking ship. It's sad to see- we have eaten here several times in the past and enjoyed it.

   Quality of food just does not match up with price point. Drinks are watered down.

   This is a really cool place with a great menu! Unfortunately we dined on a bad night for them lots of service issues didn’t get our dinner order in time after waiting over an hour. Had to cancel it and we’re on our way to a show. Would love to try this place again but it was super disappointing.

    We arrived on time for our reservation and proceeded to stand at the host/hostess stand for over 15 minutes while the staff completely ignored us. A party seated at a table stood up and left, and told us as they were leaving that they had been waiting for over an hour for their food, and staff was ignoring them, too. It was clear that the restaurant was short staffed (we only saw two servers and the bartender while we waited), but that doesn't explain why they took the reservation just a few hours earlier, and does not excuse their active disregard for patrons. We left, walked around the block and had a great meal at another establishment.

    I typically never leave reviews but This was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. We made a reservation and had to stand outside for 20 minutes before anyone even came to the front, when we where finally seated 30 minutes after our reservation time and I was served a super dirty cup of water that had food caked in the bottom of the cup. And I did not notice until I had already drank from the cup. We ordered drinks that took forever to arrive and then ordered our food. Our reservation was at 7:15 and by 9:30 we still had not received our food or even gotten an update on if it would be coming out soon. So we asked to leave. We had a cake in the fridge and asked for it back so we could go. They brought it out but held it in the corner until they brought us the drink bill. They did not compensate us for our drinks (which was the least they could have done) they just removed the food from our order. It was $75 for the 6 drinks we ordered. Over all it was the worst experience at a Restaurant we have ever encountered. And we could not even use the restroom while we where there because the bathroom was flooded. BY the time we left they never cleaned off one table from all the people who where there when we arrived. I can understand being understaffed but this was just disappointing. The only good think about this was that our server was polite.

    The service was terrible. Had 6:30 reservations and didn’t have drink order taken until 7:10 and finally received by 7:45. The food was mediocre at best. The only silver lining is that since we were seated outside people would ask how the food was before entering and we could warn them.

    Waited over 40 minutes for our food. Restaurant had only a few customers. They kept telling us they were short cooks but what we ordered( triticale sandwich’s) should have been ready to go. Disorganized wait staff. Overall a bad experience for our family.

    They didn’t have anything on the menus that I wanted to order. No oxtails, no cheese spaghetti, my son ordered a burger they came back and said all the meat was frozen after 15mins, my son ordered rib dinner and his food didn’t come out until the hole table was finished. Horrible experience will never go back

    Me and my bf went for date night our server was wonderful and knowledgeable. I personally didn’t like the duck tacos but my bf loved them. I got the chicken fried chicken and my bf got the spaghetti. We both loved our food and recommended it to my cousin . The ambience is casual the food is great the people are friendly. Must go!

    Got to the front, one bartender working (its fine I get it) was told after a few minutes to sit down and a "server" would be with us, no one came for over 10 minutes, so we walked out and left. They're understaffed for sure, and it was a Sunday. The place was lively and couldn't speak on the food since we didn't eat. I just think for being downtown don't waste your time going somewhere were the staff isn't on top of it, if the welcome was like that I cant imagine the service during the meal.

    I had high hopes for this place after reading reviews. My wife and I drove diwn for the St Patrick's day parade in San Diego. Thus was a Saturday night and there were 3 people working. We watched 9 people walk away after waiting at the door for over 15 minutes to be helped. The bartender was the hostess,bartender, food runner. One other guy was helping her. The cook which we figured out was also cooking and bringing food to the tables. Food was ok a little salty but what do you expect from Southern Fried food. Price was ok but Service on a Saturday night in the Gaslamp need much improvement.

    Unfortunately need more support. Drinks were really slow to come out. Lack of attentiveness at the table for simple things like napkins and water. They were out of a lot of drink or food items, made us choose a 2nd option. Food was ok, best item was jalapeño poppers.

    We actually didn’t go. We waited about 10min to be seated. The place looked empty and only one person was working. At that point we decided to go somewhere else because we knew the service was going to be a long wait. They need to hire more staff.

    Staff very kind and responsive but they were understaffed for the demand. Waited a while to the point we could only order appetizers before our show but was comped drinks for our trouble. Most definitely will be going back when I am in San Diego again, hope staffing issue is better by then.

    Got there around 4:45 the place was completely blacked out no one was there setting up or in the kitchen open the doors at 5 p.m. waited a long. Of time for order and it even came out cold food was not good at all I would have preferred to cook at home. Waitress was very sweet but failed to give us certain information that was very important unfortunately would not recommend this place to anyone
