The first couple of times I went to Plank it was fun, but expensive, so now I only go for Taco Tuesday. Not anymore. Last couple of times I went, the tacos were so disappointing and took forever. Last time I went; my order was wrong, the tacos took forever and were too chewy, overly full of onions, and service was subpar. The waitress basically told us they were out of anything we ordered except soda and water, and when she missed tacos in our order, she blamed us. Even tacos that were part of our order never arrived. We got there around 7:30 and were able to eat 3 tacos before they closed the kitchen at 8:45. Over an hour for cold and hard tacos?! To make it worse, we were some of the only people actually inside the building at the time. No one checked on us to make sure we got our food or if we needed anything, we had to get up multiple times to check on our stuff.

I understand we all have a bad day here and there, but our most recent visits to plank have been somewhat disappointing. The venue itself is a vibe, decent food, great to catch a game. Unfortunately, service quality has dropped significantly. Customer service alone can make or break an experience regardless of the venues historical high points.

The staff was so attentive. I had to host a 40+ person open bar, food event. Angelica and Dell took good care of us.

I usually don't leave reviews but the experience was terrible. I got food poisoning from eating a burger and fries.i know this because I ordered only one beer which I didn't even finish half of it. I was in the bathroom at least an hour throwing up and multiple staff was aware of this. I also let them know I would like a refund for at least the food portion. After that I needed to leave immediately due to not feeling well 😕 and what do you know I was charged the full tab and they even charged my card twice. I had to call the restaurant a few days later to request a refund and for them to remove the charge. I asked to speak to a manager but they said they were too busy and I would receive a call back. I never received any call back at all. This was a horrible experience I don't recommend anyone eating here.

Extremely dirty place! Service is non existent! Menus are sticky and never cleaned. Arcade is filthy and when I told the attendees that none of the 6 hand sanitizer machines are working they shrugged their shoulders and said “yup” we don’t have batteries! This place is going downhill. I can’t wait for Dave and busters to be finished next door!!!
