Paint Creek Tavern

This place gets a whopping 1 star "Eek! Methinks not" rating..  The only positive feedback to give is that the seating on the patio by the river is nice to sit at.  That's where it ends.

Showed up to order lunch and have a beer after a bike ride.  Ordered fish and chips only to have the server return back saying that they can't cook anything because they had no gas.  Really??  I almost thought I was on an episode of punked.  How do you run an establishment and wind up without gas service?  Our server said our remaining options were chips and salsa and/or salads.  Since I was hungry (and had a full beer to finish) I decided to order a salad instead.  While we were waiting for our salads, another server told another table the situation, and offered them free salads given the circumstances.  Our table was not offered the same, and we were charged for ours (slightly perturbing).  

Being completely flabbergasted by the situation, I thought, "well hey, at least we have a decent beer.."  Not long after thinking this, I look over and notice my girlfriend's beer is fizzing a bit more than normal from certain areas at the bottom of her glass.  Upon further inspection of the glass, we find there is a bunch of food crust/crap/stalagmites on the bottom of her cup.  I look at mine, and find the same thing.  Absolutely disgusting.  In essence, they can't even get the serving of the beer right.

What I could gather from just the general situation there is that this place is a completely slipshod run operation.  I won't be going back, but I will be recommending to people I know to opt for a different place to go to when in the area.  I would however recommend the place to be a good candidate for the Restaurant Takeover show..

Place has REALLY fallen off since management changes. Too bad, used to be a great place to go. Food & Service is average at best.

So, we asked around when we got to Rochester and were told this was the place to try! It did not disappoint! Cortney, the bartender, was super friendly and everyone at the bar seemed to know her. The people at the bar were nice too and the Tigers game was on so we were happy! We started with the mini tacos, a bar favorite if you ask me! So many beers to choose from too and that made my friends happy. I opted for the patty melt and it was perfect. The fries were hot and with just enough salt. Tigers scored a run and we get a jello shot? I mean, come on!!! We would have stayed longer if we didn't have plans later!
