Stopped in to Daly's the first weekend they were open expecting a warm welcome from a new business. We got our drink but that was it, no friendliness at all.
We checked out the menu and found a very limited selection of pricey food.
We've stopped twice since our initial visit for a drink and it appears Daly's has a lot of the same staff from the old "J B 's". which is unfortunate.
You can change the name of the business all you want, but, if you have the same people running the place into the ground what have you gained ? Â
We really hoped to get a nice neighborhood place to eat and hang out  with the name change.
Daly's has turned out to be just the same old J B's  with a different name.
Daly's used to be a no-star Italian place. Â It's evolved into a 1-2 star bar and grill. Â The bar being the better part of that equation. Â
I was in for lunch the other day. Â I was the only person in there other than some dude who started his hangover early. Â I took a seat and a waitress appeared immediately. Â A drink was provided rapidly. Â The menu is extremely limited. Â Typical bar and grill fare, nothing exciting or unique. Â I placed my order (whoa--prices are a little high). Â It came out promptly. Â (It should have--I was the only person there.)
I ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Â You can tell a lot about a place by how it does the basics. Â It was passable as a bacon cheeseburger, but nothing exciting. Â The patty was frozen, not fresh, and was bland and uninteresting. Â The bacon was good. Â The cheese was plain and boring. Â The lettuce and tomato that came with it were crisp, cold and fresh--the best thing I can say about the whole experience.
The bill came to $11.14. Â That's pretty steep for a burger that's a couple of notches below Hardee's, Sysco's finest waffle fries, and a fountain drink. Â
Overall, a wholly forgettable experience. Â I hope their bar is better than their grill, or this place is destined for a short life span.
It gets two stars over one because it's local and it's still new. Â I hope they make some changes for the better.
