Bar 88 And Grille

If there was an option for 0 stars I’d select that. Placed an extremely large order for take out. The wait for the food was over 2 hours, than when the food was received it was cold only 1 out of the 7 plates/pizzas ordered was even estimated. Both side orders of chicken wings were soggy and under cooked. Than when I called back to express my disappointment and wanted a refund would have brought back all of the food to show the food was cold and undercooked. I was told that they couldn’t take the food back due to covid, fine no problem they had told me they could issue a gift certificate. I expressed as I order a large portion of their menu and spent over $150 I did not want a gift card simply a refund. They told me they would get back in contact with me. I’ve called, emailed and even Facebook messaged and have yet to get a response back! Would not recommend ordering from them.

I did not eat at this establishment however I did order food from there. I ordered the clam chowder which I have to say was absolutely terrible. For whatever reason, it was a yellowish color, contained barely any potatoes and one piece of clam. The chowder was also very salty and had a watery consistency. I added the oyster crack ers they provided so that there would be something in my chowder and they were stale. Thank goodness I only ordered a cup.

Food was decent. I am a Vegetarian and they had a small choice of options but good just the same. Homey atmosphere, one of the owners JP came and spoke to my companion and I they very personable people. It was my first time their. It’s located in what seemed to be in an odd spot so take an extra second to look and don’t be discouraged. I appreciated the fact that he and his brother as he explained did allot of the work themselves. To me that shows family is important to them. Why only four stars if it’s so great? The veggie burger was decent but I don’t really expect meat eaters to get something like that totally right. As far as the rest I would go back.

Seated promptly (with reservation) but that was the only positive. Waiter took our drink order 1 coke 1 lemonade came back with our drinks... 1 coke 1 water... mix ratio off on coke, funny taste, lemonade tasted like water... oh wait it WAS water... Waiter didn't tell us about specials when he dropped off drinks. Then we waited... and waited... finally asked bartender about specials, she was unsure but thought maybe it was twin lobsters... Then we waited... and waited... Finally got sick of waiting, asked bartender to cash us out for our "drink", "I'll get waiter I don't know how to use cash register yet it's my first day"... Waiter appears, sees us standing next to our chairs irritated and says "you're all set"... no apology for wasting our time, no attempt to get us to stay by promising better service, nothing... I got a very strong feeling the waiter had somewhere he'd much rather be..
