Management was great, and the food was great. There were always customers.

Hired unsocial people for customer service positions. Dining experience was very informal and could be frustrating.

Pros

My regulars come in every week because of me and tip excellent. I make money every night even if it's just $20. Some of the people are truly great. I only work here because no one will hire me and I need a job.

Cons

There's no sense of teamwork. The managers don't listen to your request for days off or anything. They don't schedule enough servers on our busy days. When one server had a walk out I got blamed for it. If you're good they'll schedule you 7 days in the week. It's hard to get your shift picked up if you can't work. The customers are ghetto. The bar takes too long w drinks and so does the kitchen taking money from your tips. The dishwashers never wash dishes making it hard to get your drinks out accordingly when you have no clean glasses or ice. It's a mess as a company and location.

Thank you for writing your review. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your thoughts and experiences. Receiving negative feedback is truly disappointing but does fuel our fire to dig deep into issues that we might not have otherwise had been aware of. If you ever feel as though you're not able to talk with your management, please know there is an entire HR team at the Support Center who is here for you.
