The Purple Shamrock

Okay, so I recently moved to Wickliffe and decided to give this place another shot since they are right down the street. In the mail I received something saying they were under new management and had new menu items and a taco special on Tuesdays for $2. So we headed down there for the cheap tacos to give it a shot. When we walked in we should've known it was the same old Purple Sham that we had been to before and weren't so happy with in the past. We decided since we were there already to check it out. We saw that the "new" menu was just items that had been crossed out and nothing new or noteworthy crossed our eye. So we decided on the taco special for the night. We were told by the waitress that there was a minimum of 3 taco's and they were only hardshell. With some digging we realized that they were $2 each and you had to buy $6 worth, now I've used better judgement in the past but I decided to go for it to give them a shot and see if they were really $6 worthy. He decided on a burger and for once he was right :)  His burger looked good but he said it was nothing to write home about. And my tacos, wow, underseasoned, greasy, fatty,  and nothing that I couldn't have gotten at taco bell. Actually I've had better from the ol' drivethrough. Needless to say we will not be back, the Sham deserves to be Slammed because  of their sneaking marketing and same old lame service, food, and atmosphere. You can tell the staff was unhappy because they were sitting just a few booths away complaining about management and other staff members as if we couldn't hear them. I had high hopes but will stay out of that area for sure.

Sign says new mgmnt (4 months ago) and new menu. Menu seems to contain same food as it did before. Service was horrible. Table of 6 behind us walked out after ordering and waiting....and waiting. We almost walked out.  Our waitress excelled at blowing bubbles with her blue gum.  Food was good- wait staff and kitchen were very slow on a Sunday evening. Colby jack cheese was on the menu- but waitress told me I couldn't order it because there wasn't a key for it on her computer. Sadly she struggled with the idea of walking back to the kitchen....I'm guessing it will be under new mgmnt again soon. Cross this one off the list of dining options in Willowick.

Also a sex act, the Purple Shamrock in Willowick is A-OK in my book.

The wings are pretty darn tasty.
The drinks are strong.
The bartenders are sweet as pie.

There's definitely a large population of meat-heads, tools and hook-nastys, but just drink more and it will all be OK.
