"What did I walk into?! Walked and was greeted by several servers as they walked passed me. But no one ever came to the hostess stand. After waiting a few more minutes, I stopped a server walking by and asked if there was a host or was it self seating. He stated there was a wait currently so no one was up front to help guest. Didn't make any sense to me so I asked if the bar was full service. I went to the bar and seriously contemplated leaving. The bartender seemed very... off. Almost zombie like. She started dancing and singing loudly to a song playing as I waited for her to acknowledge me or take an order. She then started telling one of the customers a story. I finally placed my drink order and watched as she walked in circles for 10-15 before making it. Customer next to me tried to assure me and said have a little bit of patience because the food was really good. Since I'm only in town visiting and took the bus there, I obliged. Finally got my drink and placed my food order. As people at the bar started getting their orders with items or something missing, the bartender got agitated and began yelling and cursing. Two other ladies came to sit at the bar and begin to complain about the wait and the disposition of the bartender. I finally got my food. I wanted some dessert but because of all the chaos, I decided against it. I paid for my order and the bartender came to me and said she was confused about my payment (cash that included her tip). I explained it to her and she then said oh ok she understands because she was about to get mad and have a problem with me. I quickly left. Oh and they didn't have real utensils. I was given plastic ware. Food was good however but the service ruined it."
