The pizza challenges my taste. I’m grateful it did. Depth of ingredients, smooth presentation. “Parked at State Farm” is a joy. Highest recommendation.
If you don’t know, you have to get a piece of paper with your choices available, pick your choices and take it to the bar where the server takes it from you, asks what table in case you’re going to sit outside and then they’ll make sure they have everything on the paper that you want. Then she told us it would be an hour to an hour and a half before we’d get our food. We decided to wait it out since we were there, got our drinks and proceeded back to my table.
Some folks were there to eat, some to just have a drink or two. Noise level was quite loud, especially when one man had some friends come in and he was so obnoxiously loud it was hard to enjoy anything until they left. Food arrived in a little more than an hour. Pizza and wings. It was good. Not spectacular, but I would get the pizza again if I could get it to go and avoid the noise. I know it’s supposed to be loud, but it was just a little overwhelming for us. Excellent prices and our server was great!
It’s a small setting. It would be easy for a good bartender to be always aware and toss a greeting at anyone who walks in. Or be aware of people waiting to put in their order. It was not a busy night.
I know it’s tough working or running a bar. I say this with lots of love. I use to work in food service. I go out to eat cause I want to save time and effort instead of doing it myself at home or buying a pizza at Kroger. I love bar food. When done right i think it’s quick and guilty pleasure easy.
I don’t think it was that busy. I don’t like leaving bad reviews in a area of wv where good food service labor is hard to find.
There is no sense of urgency here. You will wait. My time and my tips are worth more than that.
That said, we’ve been 2 times now and the food quality and ordering system has let us down both times. On each visit we’ve had a food item ordered but that was never made. In both cases, by the time this was discovered we decided to just go without, in part because it’s taken us over an hour to get food (pizza, salad, whipped feta) on each visit and it feels like it isn’t worth waiting for them to sort it out. On our last visit, in particular, the food was underwhelming. We got two room temperature pizzas with ingredients that frankly seemed like they were just tossed on there after the base was cooked, and a Cobb salad that ended up being lettuce and tomato with some blue cheese cups. It was not great, and certainly not a good value. Bright side is the whipped feta is very good.
Service was fine, if they seemed overwhelmed by the crowd. It was quite busy.
Still, it’s a great place to sit outside and have a quality beer in a pleasant, social environment. Hopefully they can get the food straightened out because I’d really like to become a regular.
