Had a not-so-great experience here. Seems like they’re short staff even on a Saturday. Tables available but waited over 30 minutes. The server was kind but did not actively listen as we repeated it 3 different times after she kept incorrectly stating the order. When food arrived, I noticed two strands of long, curled hair on my wings and in the ranch dressing. The manager came and said it was part of the grill brush, which we thought was so silly since it was long and curly. Also, how can you confirm or deny where it came from anyway? We obviously didn’t believe this especially since we saw a female that matched the hair description. By the time my food came out again (remake) everyone else was nearly done with theirs. While I waited, the server asked twice if I needed anything. This was annoying to ask because of course it’s my food I needed! When the check came they made it seem like my order was comped but they had actually charged it twice when I went back to look at the itemized. We were initially planning to come back the next day to see a game but changed our minds. We would not come back again.

We were visiting San Antonio and we stopped in to watch the game. Mimi did the best she could to operate both sides of a full bar.

THE WORST EXPERIENCE!
Had to wait about an hour just to be seated! Luray was our server and she was awesome at the beginning. One she took our order she never came back and I had a party of 9. One by one everyone started getting their food and my family never received our food. We waited for about 45 minutes to 1 hours till we finally said something to someone who wasn't our waiter. He then never came back and we finally saw our waiter and she went to check on it and came back and said we never put in an order! She was telling us she can make it real quick if we don't mind waiting and said she would take 15% off. I asked to speak with the manager Lee and took forever to come out and offered the same thing. He offered to make our food and said my son's pizza would take 5 minutes! THAT took another 15 minutes. They both tried to basically say that we never placed an order when the damn lady took forever to even take the order! Only good thing out of this place was that they didn't charge me for my toddlers pizza!
And to top it off you will wait about 30-40 minutes just to get your damn drinks!
