It took probably 10 minutes to get menus, and finally ordered our meals after being at our table for 30 minutes. We got our drinks promptly, although not the drink I ordered, and they were out of iced tea. In addition, I ordered a kids lemonade for my toddler, and the waitress wasn’t sure they had lemonade- I swear what they ended up giving him was diluted margarita mix- absolutely unacceptable. We ended up having to leave before even getting our food because we have two young kids and had been waiting for over an hour for our lunch.
This was our first time attempting to dine here, and definitely our last. We spoke to the table next to us and they were also waiting over an hour for their meals, and said they had been here before and constantly had issues with having items out of stock and long wait times. They even spoke to the manager during their meal, who seemed apologetic and embarrassed, and mentioned the owner has just become full time so is now seeing some issues with the restaurant.
Beautiful patio view wasted on a terrible restaurant. Listen to the 1 star reviews and avoid this place.
Waitress was inattentive from the start, did not tell me how to find the beer menu and wasn’t super engaging.
We ordered fried pickles and a couple beers to start. The fried pickles came out very soggy and the beers were both flat. We ordered our entrees and were completely disappointed.
The Dive Burger has a burger patty, fried egg, and ham on it; it should be an extremely juicy burger that explodes with flavor. The thing was dry as all get out, patty was cooked unevenly, parts of the crust were burnt, and had zero seasoning. $3 up charge to get macaroni and cheese as a side (which is already ridiculous) and it was clearly a cup of microwave mac and cheese that tasted like plastic.
Chicken fried steak was also extremely unflavorful and the side of broccoli was also obviously bagged and frozen broccoli, of which it wasn’t even steamed or boiled to be warmed up. You can tell everything was just warmed in a microwave.
Perfect word to sum my entire experience up is BLAND. I regret going and will never spend my hard earned money with this place again. I regret having ever given someone a dollar for the sorry excuse of food I was served. Owners and staff should be ashamed.
We spent nearly three hours here with a large family group. When we arrived, the restaurant was not busy—there was only one other table in our section—but service moved at an extremely slow pace from the beginning. There was a single waitress handling our entire area, and she was taking orders, running food, and bussing tables. She was polite and respectful throughout, but it was very clear she was understaffed and likely undertrained. This felt like a systemic issue rather than an individual failure.
The restaurant was out of multiple menu items, and this was communicated inconsistently. While taking our order, the waitress repeatedly had to leave to check what was actually available, and the answers changed mid-order. We were not given children’s menus when we sat down and assumed there wasn’t one, only to be told halfway through ordering that a kids’ menu did exist. Some of the items listed were things we had already been told were unavailable. That information would have been important upfront, especially with kids at the table.
Food came out at very different times. Some meals arrived so late that over half the table had already finished eating by the time the last dishes came out. I ordered the fish and chips, which lacked flavor, and my wife’s salad came out with buffalo chicken instead of the lemon pepper chicken listed on the menu. At that point, after waiting so long, we didn’t even bother asking for it to be corrected.
The checkout process was the most frustrating part of the night. Despite knowing in advance that we needed separate checks, everything was placed on one bill. Separating it afterward took a long time, items were repeatedly “found” that had been forgotten, and we were never shown the bill before paying. After paying, we waited another 10–15 minutes for receipts that never came until I had to stand near the kitchen to get someone’s attention. By then, we just wanted to leave.
There were positives: the atmosphere was great, the live music was excellent, the bathrooms were very clean, and the tartar sauce, fried pickles, and stuffed jalapeños were genuinely good. That’s what made the experience so disappointing—there’s clearly potential here.
To be clear, I’m not blaming the server herself. Serving a large party is difficult, and she was doing far too many jobs at once. But even allowing generous grace for a large group, there’s no reasonable explanation for it taking nearly two hours just to get orders taken and fully delivered. The service issues completely overshadowed everything else and make it hard to justify returning unless there are significant improvements in staffing, training, and basic service flow.
