Daddy Real's the Place

Weird layout, tables are so big you can't fit nearly as many people in the room as you should.   Sound system is horrible.  Menu is boring and over-priced, burgers way overcooked and dry.  The night we were there, the CO2 was out, so no draft beers.  One or two waiters didn't show up, so the few who were there were working their tails off.  They did the best they could under rough circumstances, but that wasn't enough to make up for the rest of it.  I understand there's a brand new owner, perhaps he can turn it around, but it's going to take a lot of effort to shore up this sinking ship.

Kind of a weird place. The concept is good, but the venue is so/so. We had a large group and wanted to place some tables together, but the guy who seated us said it was against fire code which is not the case. We later saw them placing tables together when people asked so the guy was just being lazy. Our waitress was nice enough, but was unsure of herself. She was not 21 yet and did not know anything about their bar selection. They only sever local brews on tap and were out of a few things and said they are going to expand their selection.

The food is nothing special, in fact I would only order sandwiches from this place. We all ordered different things (there were 8 of us) so we had a pretty wide sampling of food. The crab cakes smelled rotten and didn't taste that great. I had a chicken quesadilla which was good but bland. One bad thing is they only have one flavor of tortilla which is a sun-dried tomato and doesn't go with all their items very well.

They only have single person bathrooms which is not good when the place can hold what I expect is 100 or so people and the toilet was clogged up when I tried to use it, not to mention there were always lines. The restroom is also located by the kitchen which is less then appetizing if you ask me.

When it came time to get our checks the waitress was nowhere to be found and when we finally got her she had forgotten to split our checks at the beginning and couldn't figure out how to do it at the end. It took over 20 minutes just to get the transaction completed.

I think if the owners make sure the staff are trained well and get people who know their bar and menu selections it could be a good place, but I don't give it another year before it closes.

Stopped in for a little recon and a cocktail and was surprised that this was a kid friendly "bar" with live music... This is not something I expected. I am debating on whether or not this is a good thing. Guess I'll have to leave that up to the parents.
The evening I stopped in was rather slow and I had a chance to chat with the manager a bit and was thrilled to learn that most of the food is homemade. They were preparing for a beer tasting dinner that sounded awesome, I hope to make the next event. The cocktail I enjoyed was a keylime pie martini.. It was good and desert worthy. The service was good and friendly. I did not try food, thus the lower score. I will be returning in the near future in hopes of raising the rating.
