    OTB is one of the regular restaurants that my family and I come into, with that said tonight was a cluster with our order. We ordered 2 of the chicken quesadillas-Taliah was our server, she stated they are going through a menu change so it’s just chicken and cheese-I said I would like the “Rajas” on it(onion/bell pepper), my mom wanted the same plus tomatoes inside. I also ordered a brisket taco-when our food came out my brisket taco looked like a Birria taco, I just went with it. The chicken quesadillas however did not have the rajas-which we specifically said we wanted. I then ordered a side of fajita chicken for my dog to go and a side of rajas so I could put in the rest of my quesadilla. It came out in ONE container-I’m not sure if our server put it in wrong but all night she seemed rush and in a hurry, one mistake ok fine not to big of a deal but several!? I spoke to 1 manager and he said Yes it’s suppose to have the rajas, then when we had the chicken/rajas/taco mistake I spoke to another who said Rajas do not come on it now-I stated that we asked for it, and the other mgr told us it did. She took $2 off my taco that was wrong so instead of $6 something it was $4 something. I usually love and rave about OTB but our service and food tonight was not the best, don’t get me wrong, food was good-just not prepared how we wanted. Taliyah needs to engage with guest better, slow down and listen.

    Marisa has been our bartender here for our past few visits and she has been great. She always smiles even though she is getting her ass kicked serving.

    Ava always does an excellent job..very rare to find servers that explain everything and take care of multiple tables like her! Margs and all of the food was excellent. The updated menu items were good to try.

    Marithza was a delight to have as a server. She was upbeat and so responsive to our needs. She checked in at just the right interval to make sure we were taken care of. Lunch specials were perfect but way too much food. All was great!
