Once we figured out our food we walked up and asked about getting food. We ordered a cheese wrap and a chicken sandwich with mayo and lettuce. I repeated just lettuce and mayo. We asked for the garlic wings to come out 1st. The girl said ok. We had to pay and tip before getting our food.
1st drink was a lemonade (it was just sugar water with a hint of lemon) i returned it and asked for a vanilla Chi. She did not ask me hot or cold. I didn’t even think about it because she took off. Since it is winter you would think hot would come. Nope a watered down ice chi came. I took it up to the counter and asked if I could have it hot. They made me a hot one with no vanilla.
At this time I did not have high expatations for the meal. People came after us in were getting their order as we waited. As we waited we heard the all staff in the kitchen swearing. Which was a big turn off.
The wings came out with all our food after a long wait. They had a good taste but they were over cooked. The French Fries were string fries and soggy. The Chicken sandwich was lacking on mayo and the sandwich had spinach not lettuce. Not what I asked for. I asked the girl that took the order about the lettuce. She was snotty to me and said we don’t have lettuce. I asked her why she didn’t tell me that when i placed the order with her. I asked for more mayo and she went back to the kitchen yell and bitching to the other staff about me. The whole dining room heard everything. My date did not like the FF and her wrap came out as a grilled cheese sandwich. I wasn’t going to touch that mayo that she came out with after that. We will never go back. $40 for 2 sandwiches and a drink.
Added note we both had loose stools after.
The staff has a signature energy that can best be described as mildly annoyed and backed by the GenZ stare – the look of apathy – while you decide what to order. Today we were told that we could only order takeout because they close at 2pm and it was…1:20pm. *gasp*
As for the food and coffee: they’re both aggressively mediocre. Not offensively bad, just flat, forgettable, and oddly expensive for how little quality it delivers.
You leave thinking, “I could’ve made something better at home,” which is not the emotional arc I’m looking for when I’m paying someone else to make my food.
Here’s the thing: none of this feels impossible to fix. Location and layout is great, Step up the beverages, tighten up the food (quality of ingredients and care put into making dishes), and please—someone give the front-of-house a morale boost, a reset, a manager chat, a group hug, a prozac, something. Because this spot should be an EASY 10/10.. Right now it’s just a great address attached to an underwhelming experience.
Crickets’ facelift should deliver:
~ Excellent coffee drinks (consistently!)
~ High quality, organic-leaning menu with food that is actually good food
~ Barista grade, CREAMY, non-dairy milks
~ WARM and well-trained staff. Friendly, efficient, and professional
There is hope! But they have their work cut out for them.
Separate time we went there the food was fine, but I ordered tea. Plain regular black tea. I didn’t realize a refill would be a full price drink lol. Yes I’m from the south, but how on earth is 2 teabags and some water worth $8???
Both times the service was inattentive, ignoring customers even though they were not busy, and it’s just a very unwelcoming place. It’s disappointing because it looks like somewhere you’d want to hang out more often, but trying it once a year three years in a row, every visit it below lackluster.
I am sure someone could have come in immediately after me and ordered the exact same thing and had an excellent meal.
The place feels too clean and was very bright for after 9PM, but that is because I’m too used to Kelly’s…
