1 /5 joey lewis: We tried it for the third time today, and given the choice of going back or being beaten over the head with a baseball bat ID GLADLY TAKE THE BAT.
Our first visit was this summer for brunch. We were walking our dog downtown and saw their sign saying "dog friendly patio " , so we gave it a try. It was pretty good, service was slow but we thought it was possible an off day. Our second visit was taste of Chico day. We were seated in the crowded patio and 30 minutes later when the waitress asked about our drink order, we said we were good with water but were ready to order. She said she wasnt taking food orders, just drinks. We decided to just leave without ordering, blaming the crowd. Our 3 visit was yesterday Jan 10th 26. We arrived at 10 minutes till 2 , nobody at host station but bartender yelled we could go out back but it would be 15 minutes before we could order since they were switching from brunch to lunch- dinner menu. That would have been fine, we asked about taking menus off the stand and she said they were the wrong ones and our waitress would bring them. We were the only people on patio for 10 minutes when 3 ladies came out with cocktails and menus. Our lab played with their puppy for about 20 when the waitress came and took their order, she then asked if we were ready. We pointed out that we were never given menus, luckily the ladies offered theirs. She came back 10 minutes later at 230 and took our order, dip for appetizer burger for me salad for my friend. 30 minutes later the bartender was checking on the ladies when she asked how everything was, we said we ordered 30 minutes ago and hadnt gotten anything yet. 10 minutes later we got our appetizer and our mains at the same time. It now an hour and 20 minutes since we seated ourselves, so we were pretty hungry. The dip seemed okay when we got it, I asked for the burger easy sauce, it was dripping all over my plate and down my arms. I ate the fries that were okay and half the burger and fed the rest of the patties to the dogs. My friends salad didnt look very fresh, she ate about half and left the rest. We would have complained if anyone had asked, but they didnt. Half hour after we were served she finally came back and asked about to go box we said no thanks. By this point we just wanted out. Waitress looked indignant, when my friend left a 10% tip. I thought that was more than generous ( we tipped 50% our first visit). I thought that would be the end of it until 11pm when my stomach started churning, Im on my second trip to the bathroom at 1230 a.m. hoping the ginger ale and Tums help. NEVER AGAIN.
