Used to love this place, the food used to me awesome and 'just hanging out' was great. Â The just hanging out is still awesome, but the food is nowhere near what it used to be. Â During the summer, I asked the waiter what happened, that there is a very noticeable difference in the food and not for the better. Â He said that they let go of their chef.
That was disappointing to hear, my wife and I used to VERY MUCH look forward to dinner and some drinks once a week there, but now that's gone. Â Neither one of us will go back for dinner, we had a real bad experience after years of good experiences and since the waiter said they let go of the chef, I don't think it was a rare bad experience.
I still like the place to hang out and eat appetizers, the staff is great, the bar is quaint and the outside deck is awesome.
We wanted to try something new for lunch and decided to give this place a shot. When we walked in, there was two other tables and it was not busy at all. Â Still, it took awhile for the waitress to come to our table to get our order. Our family has food allergies but most restaurants we go to are accommodating. When the first person ordered with the order modifications (nothing demanding) the waitress was taken aback and rude and said "Well, I can check if they can do that" and then suggested she order a different item of the menu. Really? Usually when I have gone to a restaurant, they bend over backwards to accommodate a "special" situation even as far as to make the original dish as close as possible to the allergen free dish. Some places even *gasp* have a special menu! Not only was the waitress rude about taking our orders but our orders weren't even right when they came out. She was too lazy to write down the modifications and gave us the original suggestion she told the first person. Aside from being rude about order modifications, she couldn't remember our drink orders and it took an HOUR to get our food for LUNCH. Then again, it was pretty busy rush period with the two other tables finishing up and all..
If i could give no stars, I would. I just think with this day in age with as much knowledge as there is on food allergies/intolerances that restaurants need to be on top of their game with being sensitive to this issue. Especially since so many people have them. And even if you don't know a lot about them, it is completely unnecessary to treat a customer like that.
A big thanks is in order to <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> for having Pearce's as one of their restaurants because if it wasn't for getting a 25 dollar certificate for less than 5 dollars we would have never gone out to Pearce's. Within a months time my mother and I have been there twice and both times were an experience worth writing a positive review over. The first time was great, great weather (100 degrees), great service, great eye candy (golfers...ow.ow.) and great food. We chose to sit outside but because it was so incredibly hot we were the only ones sitting on the deck, which overlooks the beautiful golf course. Â We ordered BBQ pineapple salmon along with the skirt steak...There wasn't much conversation after our food came out...Amazing..nom. nom. The second trip out was just as good. We decided to introduce Pearce's to another family member...my Nana. My mother and Nana both ordered the coconut crusted tilapia while I ordered once again, the bbq pineapple salmon and again, it was delicious. We will be Pearce's regulars, with or without the <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> coupons.
Review Source:After driving by this place many times and always saying we wanted to try it, I found it on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a> yesterday and decided to finally try it out. Â We arrived during the late afternoon. Â There were several cars in the parking lot, but that was quite misleading. Â We walked in, and were a little disappointed to see that the entire restaurant is a very small lounge area, with maybe 10 or so tables. Â We asked the gentleman there if that was the entire restaurant, and he stated that they recently had undergone a "renovation," which apparently involved them no longer using the main dining room. Â
When we were seated, there were maybe 2 other tables with patrons seated. Â Not busy at all for dinnertime. Â The gentleman at the door was apparently also a waiter and possibly a manager. Â He was very helpful and provided us with lots of recommendations.
We started out with the steak bites. Â These are supposed to be cuts of filet mignon in an A-1 type sauce. Â We requested that they be prepared medium. Â They weren't bad. Â They looked tasty, and the meat was tender enough, but after having to spit out a couple of pieces of fat - I determined that they must have been a pretty low grade filet. Â Also, they were cooked medium well or maybe even well done, with the exception of one "bite" which just appeared to be plain ol' raw in the middle. Â Yuck. Â
For an entrée, I ordered the steak fajitas.  I asked the waiter how the steak was, and he said it was high quality.  Not true!  When the steak fajitas came, the meat was about as high quality as Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (only not as good and much more expensive - around $12.95).  They were very tough, and almost every piece had fat on it.  Also, these were definitely not fajitas, it was more like a pepper steak.  The meat, onions, and peppers were cooked together with stewed tomatoes in a tomato-y sauce.  They came with pinto beans (which were very undercooked and hard).  My partner had the grilled tilapia, which she said was pretty good.  It came with vegetables, and the carrots were almost not even cooked at all.
After reading some reviews on here, it sounds like this place has been known to have good food - but I suspect that they are on their way out. Â They may be struggling, and really just decided to cheapen things up a bit. Â It was very disappointing. Â I was really hoping that we would enjoy ourselves and want to return, but it just wasn't up to par.
Whenever we have visiting family, a visit here for a meal always seems to be at the top of their lists. The menu offers a decent selection in a variety of prices. Not sure about other drinks, but the wine is priced reasonably. The biggest hits with the family have been the burgers and salads, particularly the steak salad.
It's kind of a minor thing I know but I like that they offer a good variety side choices with their burgers/sandwiches, no fuss or extra charge. I'm pretty accustomed to paying extra when I want I trade my fries for a side salad when I go out, so it's a small but welcome little perk.
The atmosphere felt very relaxed and casual. The servers have always been friendly and helpful. Generally prompt as well - I can think of one time where it was a little slow and our server had to divide his time between the people eating inside and those outside, but we weren't in any hurry anyway.
This place is good!!! Â Even the 11 year old "Princess Precious" (and everyone knows that "precious" is the latin word for "Pain and Eternal Misery") found it to be a worthwhile experience. Â The food is well prepared, the menu is pretty good for a golf coursie type place. Â The service was attentive but not intrusive.
We sat in the lounge area and had a nice panorama of the golf course and there were 4 tv's to watch as well. Â The beer was cold, so basically, there is something for everyone.
Try it...I believe you will like it.
We LOVE this place.
It's close to home, the food is always delicious, and the service is always gracious.
When my in-laws were in town and wanted to take my parents, my husband and our 2 girls ages 5 & 7 out to dinner, I chose Pearce's and it was perfect. Â There was something for everyone and it was just the right atmosphere to relax and enjoy a casual meal.
The salads are always delicious; one of my favorites is a steak and bleu cheese entree salad. Â Their fish dishes are also prepared well, and feature tasty -- if not a little too much -- sauce. Â We love the "cottage fries" a homemade potato chip with a lemon juice and oregano seasoning (gotta try them for an appetizer!).
For kids the macaroni & cheese is HUGE-- so we get one order of it and have the kitchen split it into two dishes. Dessert is included for the kids, brownie bites with chocolate sauce and ice cream. Â
If you live in or near Oswego, this is a great spot, even if you didn't play golf at Fox Bend!
This place rocks. I've been there a couple of times and each time was delicious. I have tried the Cottage Fries and Artichoke Bacon Dip to start. Man, were those great choices - so good. I've also tried the Buffalo Chicken Salad and the Blue Cheese Burger. Each was very good and the burger was done just right. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. And of course, the scenery is nice, being that it is at the Fox Bend Golf Course. I will definitely be back.
