Bud's On the Bay

We stopped in on a weekday for a quick lunch. The decor was nice, classic pub-style. The service was passable, but only just. I had a very good quesadilla, but the side salad was mostly just a pile of iceberg lettuce with a couple of carrot sticks stuffed in, dressing on the side. The onion soup is too be avoided: watery broth covered with barely-melted mozzarella cheese. I had the impression no one cared about food quality. Perhaps this place is better enjoyed watching a game with a couple of beers.

Fantastic food and a great welcome.

Update: John apologized for our bad experience...we will gladly try it again this summer!

"Bad on the Bay". This place is going down hill unfortunately. We've had a number of bad experiences here and that is a real shame because a few years ago I would have given it at least 4 stars for food and service.

Last time we were there after coming from another bar up the road there was a teenage-looking bargirl who was flirting with three junior-high clowns at the narrow side of the bar. She eventually noticed us and took our order. We had a long day on the river and were rather tired - she mistook that for us being intoxicated and refused to serve us at first. That's NEVER happened before! Looking closely at her side of the bar, we could see a full glass of white wine she was drinking while working. We summoned the dorky manager to explain the situation who seemed rather unfazed by it all. Unbelievable yet again.

Two weeks later we went to watch a game (big screens) and discovered they wanted to charge $7 to serve us FOOD at the bar! What???? It's ridiculous as the kitchen entrance is right next to the bar.
That did it. Never again. It's a real shame because the food was quite good. Embarrassing and ripping off patrons however is quite bad.
I'd rather BBQ myself than spend another dollar in this wreck.
