Babe's Sports Grille

Horrible service.  The owner is the worst part of it all.  They do not care about getting or keeping customers and it shows

Babe's is a very spacious bar with a lot of tables but heaps of bar stools too.  The bar snakes through the whole backside so you have a good view of the whole establishment.  They also have a large patio.

I was here for a fundraiser and the pizza they served was fantastic!  The service was also excellent.  Our bartender came out from behind the bar to our table many times to see if we needed anything else.  She was also attentive to clearing our empties.  A few times people at our table asked for different TV stations to be put on and it wasn't a big deal.

Babe's is close to home, so it's convenient to stop in when I just want a quick bite and drink without having to stress about "getting ready" to go to dinner. I've been 3 or 4 times now and had the same waitress each time. She's really efficient, nice and attentive. I've typically stuck with their burgers which are adequate. Sometimes overcooked and a bit dry, but doable I guess. On my most recent visit I tried the fish sandwich w/ hush puppies. The fish was a square pattie, like the kind you get from the Schwan truck. Surprise #1. Surprise #2 was that they served it burnt. What cook and server worth anything thinks that's ok to put in front of a customer? Surprise #3: The hush puppies were overcooked, dry and flavorless. I took the fish out of the bun and put it in the middle of the plate, called the server over and said "this needs to be recooked correctly." Surprise #4...food delivered with a still overcooked fish sandwich, although not as bad as round 1, and the same hush puppies as round 1...not replaced. Whatever!!! I ate....2 hush puppies and 1/2 the sandwich. My partner ordered the patty melt, which was served with no onions or cheese. Just a patty on rye bread. Our friendly waitress bought me a drink and explained there was a brand new cook. Seems to me that cook should have the shortest tenure in the food industry and go away.

Babe's: You're menu is simple, why can't you cook your food accordingly? For convenience I want to continue to patronize, but that food needs a serious upgrade. Keep the menu...just find someone who knows how to cook, and quit buying your product in a can or freezer bag. It's less expensive and more tasteful to use fresh.

I really don't know if I'll be back. Am gonna shop around for a few months I think.
