Good drink specials, decent prices, and cool shit on the walls - a collection of bumper stickers from all over the world (always good to see a Wall Drug sticker,) do not a totally awesome bar make, unfortunately, much to Kefi's chagrin.
What it does make, however, is a pretty awesome spot to sit around and get drunk with a bunch of like-minded folks.
It's not a bad place, and not quite a dive; I like enough to go back, but I'm certainly taking anyone there on a first date.
There are constantly drinks specials, so you can't complain about that.
The bar is huge, there is also a separate room for dining, and there is some shuffle board. Â Well, the shuffle board is not level so it makes it difficult to actually play, which is about all you can do here. Â I have never gone in when there have been more than 10 people in the entire building. Â They do have live music, but since there weren't that many of us (6 including myself) it was so unbearably loud we left immediately after our drinks arrive.
Oh, Kefi, I'm so sorry, but I think I'm going to have to break up with you. We have been together now for so many years, and at first, it was wonderful, just like true love, but now, you are dissapointing to me in so many ways. I used to love spending Friday afternoons on the patio with you, drinking beer and getting burritos from Taco Bell. Imagine my surprise and joy when you began serving food! The depths of love for you quickly grew in my heart.
But last night you did the unspeakable. You had so many other patrons and not enough waitstaff to sustain those of us who wanted to enjoy our beer and dinner outside. I had to get menus and place my order from one of the bartenders even though a waitress waited on a table right next to us and saw that we had menus on our table. Then it took 45 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the chicken tamales special with a side salad and it came with no dressing for the salad, no salsa, sour cream, nothing. Kefi, what has become of you! Our food arrived and not once did our waitress come out to check on us.
To add insult to injury, when our bill arrived our check included not only our friend's food (we asked for split checks) but the bill for the table next to us!! When we disputed the charges, the waitress became a real b*tch and was not apologetic at all.
I'm sorry, Kefi, but I think that unless you change your ways really quickly, I'm going to have to find someone else.
I was nervous going here because of the reviews...it definitely is a huge bar - when we walked in I was wondering if it was a good idea since we had a 10 year old with us! We were doing dinner around 7 so luckily it was empty with no drunkards to be found.
We sat outside - and there were families out there enjoying dinner and the beautiful weather. I had the special, blackened grouper with a mango salsa and the fried okra and rice. It was fantastic - perfectly done and a nice sized portion. I cleaned my plate and wasn't ridiculously full. A few people had the the pita pizza and Philly cheese sandwich. I heard the pizzas were good but the Philly cheese steaks, not so much. We did order the crab balls for an appetizer and I wasn't a fan.
I think there was one waitress for the entire deck, so service got off to a slow start (and we spent the day at the beach and were famished). And the road noise isn't so bad, but the obnoxious teenagers that scream when they go by got a bit annoying, but otherwise the noise didn't bother me much.
The prices were very reasonable, too. I'm pretty sure all of our meals were under $10/each. I do think they should have more seafood options being 5 miles from the ocean. Or, change the seafood options so that they include more non-fried versions.
All in all it was a good dinner. If I was in the area again not sure I'd go back just because I'd like to have more variety in my seafood options.
Kefi's is probably a better place to drink than eat, but this is another place I have driven by for years and never been to. Â
I have heard that the Cajun dishes are the thing to get here, but honestly, non-Lousiana Cajun food really just makes me angry (no heat, fake smoke flavor, kielbasa instead of andouille)...so I stay away from it. Â Got burgers instead...burned to a crisp...really...when I took a bite, it crunched...incinerated.
Nice deck out front that is completely ruined by road noise. Â Parking is really bad, only 20 spaces which will fill the place about 25%. Â Bathroom door that has no lock...excellent...I love showing my junk to the bar crowd.
On the up side, they serve breakfast until like 1pm, which is nice. Â AND you can get fried ocra with your burger instead of fries...I love that.
I visited this place, after hearing the radio ads.
It wasn't what I expected; it was more of a bar than a restaurant. Â It is rustic and cool, like a good place in the summertime to drink Natural Light, sweat, and listen to acoustic Dead covers.
The dinner menu was very disappointing, I was beginning to go to my fallback, "It is hard to screw up a cheeseburger."
I gambled and ordered the shrimp jambalaya, and it was excellent. Big plump oysters, shrimp, peppers, and chicken, over rice.
