Have to say I got a good laugh from John's review too! They'll probably be around for awhile, cleavage is pretty powerful. :lol:

And I thought i was the only one who used the ugh-meh-woohoo scale. :wink:

John, this gave me a good laugh.

It is very common in the Foodie circuit. I have a few that go below ugh. Ugh is my middle.

Maybe it works both ways, sort of like "Aloha" and "ciao" can mean both "hello" and "buh-bye? You have to pair it with the facial expression and tone to determine which version of "OMFG" is being uttered. 8)

Like Mark Head said way back on page four, they serve food there?

I may find out in an hour or so.

I had an early dinner at TK with JustinHammond Friday. I've been waiting for his review. :D

I wanted to hate this place and at first it did not disappoint. I arrived at 5:15 to a ¾ full house and was promptly seated at a 4 top even though it was just me. I told the hostess there would be 2, maybe 3, in our party. I sat at my table for 16 minutes until a “server” approached. She took my beer order, TK’s Ale, and asks if I wanted anything to eat. I explained I was waiting on the rest of my party before ordering food. My beer was delivered in a few minutes and I was again asked if I want any food. I explained I was still waiting on the rest of my party. The beer was barley drinkable; think a watered down Killian’s. I was checked on when my beer was nearly gone and I ordered a Kentucky Ale, or KY ale as my “server” called it. She again asks if I wanted food. By the time the Kentucky Ale arrived so did David P. We were chatting and looking over the menu as we were asked if we wanted to order food. That is 4 times now. We told the server we needed more time and she gave us about 2 minutes before asking again. As you can see, the service went from non-existent to overbearing and annoying. We finally decided on Fish and Chips (French fries as they call them over there, our server pointed out) and the sausage sandwich. Both arrived promptly and were mighty tasty. The fries and fish were crispy and were not overly greasy. The sausage sandwich was packed full of flavor, the sausages themselves were great and the peppers and onions only added to the party. Now to the kicker. This would only happen when David was in the building. Since I was eating with David I felt is was necessary to drink a Hoptimus. I ordered one and David and I starting talking what the price was going to be. $8? $9? Nope, $4.50 for a 14 oz pour of Hoptimus or $5.50 for a 20oz pour. Not only is this the cheapest Hoptimus I have ever bought, they even turned it into a Hoptimus slushie(see above) for me. The glass was frozen, with Hoptimus icecaps forming around the rim. I tried to enjoy my beer while David laughed and made fun, but frozen Hoptimus wasn’t quite working. Get rid of the overbearing service, and frozen beer and I could handle the place. Cheap Hoptimus, good food, good scenery, and awesome TV’s usually equals a good time.

Summary:

Service: nonexistent or overbearing
5/10

Food: way better then expected
Fish and Chips 8/10
Sausage Sandwich 9/10

Well done. Justin. Maybe I'll just sit at the bar for the first time I try the place.

You would think NABC might have some say in how their product is served, let's hope so.

I know Guinness does...

Our server explained to us that people love when their beer is served that way. David kindly explained why maco-crap should be consumed at sub-zero temps and Hoptimus was different. In fairness, our server offered to get me a new glass.

Our servers favorite beer in the whole world was shock top, explains a bit.

I agree with the JH review. I wasn't as put off with the server sitting at our table and another server joined her after we finished. They are trained not to drop your check until you ask for it.

There is a distinct delineation in the assigned server areas; bigger boobs, taller and blonder the closer to the door. We were seated in the short, brunette, and non-enhanced boob section.

You must have had difficult written on you. Or "poor tipper." Or camper. Or unavailable. Or maybe, on the other hand, available. Whatever it was, you should work on that for the next visit. Tell them you have a fear of collapsing buildings, so you need to be as close to the door as possible.

It must have been the guy that scored the table :roll: He's at least 10 years younger than their target (me) demographic. I thought our server was cute, loved the star tats on her back better than the run-of-the-mill tramp stamp the rest were sporting.

We left a 26% cash tip.
