Chips' Pub III

Mussels were good. Seafood combo was good, needed clams though. Service was horrible. Waitress non existent. Once asked if we needed anything else. Yeah how about refilling my empty glass staring you in the face! Cue the cheesy Jimmy Buffett music!!

Used to go the Chips II in Guilford years ago. We found ourselves in Clinton recently at the outlets and decided on Chips III for lunch. I was not impressed. Busy bar and fairly busy dining room. We were given bowl of popcorn while we looked over the menu. I felt like i had dropped right back to the late 80's with the decor and menu. We decided on sandwiches. I had the poultrygiest(according to menu it was brought back by popular demand) and my girlfriend tried the California wrap. Both came with chips. We were offered more, fresh popcorn while we waited. The popcorn has that industrial popcorn lube coating, salty and heavy. Food arrived in a decent amount of time.
 The food, however, was a disappointment. My sandwich came without a bottom bun and after serveral attempts to get get staff to acknowledge my problem, my food had grown cold. The waitress did bring it back with a bottom bun but it was the meal that sat for 10 minutes while we tried to get help. The chicken turned out to be dry and tasteless and after several bites i gave up. Also, i realized the bacon was also missing. My girlfriends wrap was also bland and to locate the avocado required serious digging. A word on the chips that came with the meal. Now, if I had a place named chips and we served chips with meals i would assure you I wouldn't supply industrial boxed wavy bland ones. I dont think it would be too much to have a house made chip.
 We definitely will not be back.

They just added menu items and their food is better than ever. The staff is fantastic and there is booze so you can't go wrong there.
