The Gooney Bird Bar & Grill

Not sure whether it is the Gooney Bird or the Albatross but we just went tonight after hearing there was a change in owners again.  Service has improved somewhat from our last experience but the food was marginal.  My husband had the rib eye that was flavorless and I had a forgettable tortilla salad with bland grilled chicken. The salad bar was a grade above what you would find at a fast food joint.  For us this is strike three.  We will not be back.

Had friends in town and were looking for a quick casual meal so headed out to the Gooney Bird. Was very surprised to walk in to find everyone dressed in black and a piano player in the corner. Had no idea there were new owners who are trying to turn it into a fancy restaurant.  Strange menu. Really greasy fried apps only. Small way over priced menu. Entrees don't come with sides and a small salad was $5.50. The special was a dish with 3 prawns for $27. I had the chicken ceaser which was $15 and it only had three small pieces of chicken on it.  All in all a really disappointing change to what was a good thing.  I don't see tha place lasting long.

Been going to Gooney bird for many years. Very disappointing environment since the new owners took over. Butcher paper over the linen table clothes- really? No condiments on any tables. The place was mostly empty. Still, we waited a long time just to get our drink order. Didn't even get drinks until the salads were gone. No butter for the bread just something that tasted like vegetable oil. The service was polite but inexperienced. The food was not as good as the prior ownership. Too greasy and expensive. We won't be going back to the Gooney Bird anytime soon. Sorry
