"I visited Newport Steak Seafood on a whim the Monday after the 4th of July with two friends. There was only one overwhelmed waitress managing about a dozen tables, and I spotted another waitress a couple of times during our two-hour visit, but she didn’t seem to be taking orders. After around fifteen minutes of waiting, our waitress walked by and said she’d be with us as soon as she could, sounding quite irritated. We reassured her it was fine and continued to wait. After half an hour, she took our orders. At this point, I started to feel uneasy as I noticed a kitchen staff member repeatedly diving into the visible freezer with bare hands, retrieving everything from fries to seafood and even a corn dog. I began reading other reviews, which were quite mixed. After waiting an hour, our food finally arrived, and it was a letdown. The halibut, priced at $18.95 for just three pieces, was likely around 6 ounces and clearly frozen. The fries tasted awful, also frozen and barely warm. My friend's $19 cold sandwich had decent meat and real cheese with tomato and some bacon, which was an improvement over the fish. When we requested a second plate, it arrived dirty. Just then, my partner joked about some hair found in the fish, and the waitress overheard. When she asked if everything was alright, he requested another plate, but she scoffed, grabbed it, and walked off mumbling about "last straw," which felt passive-aggressive. Overall, it seemed the restaurant is operating at the bare minimum in terms of staff and food quality. Despite the long wait, the food tasted like fast food seafood, even though we ended up spending $35 for two entrees, one of which was just a cold sandwich."

"I just want to share what is probably the rudest behavior from a server/bartender that I have EVER received. The back story: my best friend and I are returning to our respective homes after traveling to see the eclipse. We decided to overnight here in Burns, and I told her about this restaurant and how down to earth and relaxing it was, and that they had good food. We come in and we do get seated, in the lounge, fairly quickly. The server takes a bit of time getting back to us to take our drink/meal order, and, to be fair, they were probably busier than usual for a Sunday evening due to more people traveling for the eclipse and there being so few places to eat in Burns. My friend and I both used to be servers, and we realize the situation, and understand. The server finally takes our order, delivers our beverages and then our salads. Our meal does take, what we consider, to be rather long to be delivered, but it is prepared correctly. The server came by only once to follow up with us. Finally, we finish and wait a good 30 minutes for a check for our meal. We finally got up and went to the bar to pay. We, having been servers, tipped well and left a 25% tip. At no time, to that point, did they ever say anything like we 're sorry for the wait, we 're super busy, or short staffed , or anything like that. We decided to try the Lottery games and I put $20 and won $18.60. Time to cash out for me. I go to the bar, to be cashed out, and the server says, in a snippy voice, rudely, you 'll have to be come back tomorrow. I can 't cash that now. I 'm too busy. and walks away. I will admit, this rubbed me completely the wrong way. Yes, they were busy, but to be so rude about helping me, a customer, was uncalled for. It only takes, at most, one minute to cash someone out with Lottery. She never said anything like I 'll be with you in a few minutes or as soon as I can, please be patient . I would have understood, but no communication and the nasty attitude was wrong. Then, she slams down a placard that, essentially said, that customers come before lottery customers, and that I 'll have to send in to the lottery to collect my winnings. Was I not a customer? She never gave me information on how to do that and walked away. I have never received such nasty service and I, personally, will never go back."
