This usually isn't my thing but after reading LC's obnoxious and inaccurate comment I felt compelled to speak up. Â I live 3 miles from Sidelines and have spent many nights in there so I feel I have grounds for my opinions.
LC, you're an idiot. Â Sorry. Â First of all it's Brenden and not Brandon and Brenden is never *anything* but professional, courteous, friendly and willing to go way above and beyond. Â I've seen it, I've experienced it. Â Every time I've been there he's been a part of the overall good experience.
I've also eaten enough of the food there to know it is quite taste and quality food on a steady basis. Â Even the best of restaurants have off nights, perhaps you went on one but to complain about greasy fries and say your husband wanted 5 Guys instead makes no sense to me, that's grease in a bag.
You weren't owed anything extra, the fact that anything was offered is a testament to a place that cares about its customers. Â Perhaps you're just one of those that makes a habit of complaining in hopes to get a free meal.
I wasn't raised around here, Sidelines is one of the few truly good places I've come across in my time. Â The staff is always friendly and smiling, they're always willing to the the extra mile on a special order (I'm picky) and the one time I had to send something back for being too hot (entirely my fault, I ordered HOT), they were gracious and there were no problems.
I have also yet to find the drinks anything but satisfying and fair in their alcohol/non-alcohol ratio and have been given a few buybacks which they don't have to do.
The atmosphere is relaxed and fun and jovial, Brenden is the star of the place and a dedicated Manager who genuinely cares, the food is really yummy and it's just a fun place. Â So do yourselves a favour, ignore LC and go to Sidelines. Â Tell 'em Kittyn sent you.
Shame on Brandon the Manager of Sidelines for making excuses for an unsatisfactory meal.
Watered down martini was sent back. Heavily greased french fries,cold ,rubbery Chicken Wings and my husband's hamburger smelt sour.
After a courtesy call to the manager Brandon had a litany of excuses such as a big party was being catered .Really? He offered to take care of us next time we came in which we did a week later . What we got was one round of drinks. Big Woop!
I 'm suspicious when I read restaurant reviews that are so negative. I am not THAT person. We are locals who rarely dine out.
This coupled with the fact that my husband wanted to have dinner at Charlie O's or 5 Guys I insisted we try Sidelines.
Sorry this place is associated with my dear NY YANKEES.
Never again and I'm spreading the word to everyone I meet.
