Sports On Tap

We decided to try this place out due to their convenient location. Once was more than enough.
The food was edible, but not worthy of any praise.
The service was horrendous. Our server's attention was 99% devoted to the young gentleman sitting at the bar. She wasn't even interested in accepting our payment, we had to go ask her to allow us to pay. She was not friendly, not pleasant, not accommodating and not tipped!
We will never waste our money there again.

My husband and I go to Sports On Tap often. Their menu is out of this world for a sports bar! Excellent chicken wings, burgers, sandwiches, and their sweet potato fries are to die for! Excellent steak salad. And the best part: Gluten free buns for the burgers. The best sports bar in Clackamas in my opinion. EVERY SINGLE person we've ever met who works there is very friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

It takes a lot to get me to this place where I will actually write a review. So consider me one of those people that will tell my eight friends, etc after several bad visits.  Enough is enough.  I caution you before you go here!  This is assured to be a frustrating experience. You just have to know the management or owner of this needed HV establishment is clueless to the major opportunity that sits before them.  My best advice, as a highly experienced traveler and customer service guru - of sorts, to SOT is to hire a restaurant business manager to oversee and save your sagging rear end. Here's my honest experience(s).

On their opening week of business I arrived on day 2 only to have their service chain fall apart. We sat and patiently waited - and waited - and waited. Ordered and waited...and waited...and waited. Workers fumbling and stumbling as they tried to figure things out. Eventually we got our drinks and food.  It was a pitiful experience so much so that the owner/manager? apologized to us. We truly understood. It was their first week of business.

The one thing I want to be fair about is that SOT really does have some decent items on the menu, but I am in no mood to elaborate given their clueless service behavior.

Between then and this last experience, we've tried them five times now (shame on me), each experience was very similar. The only difference was our level of patients. SOT flat out lacks the hustle, intuitiveness, and sincerity of a half decent establishment.  How can a joint be 7/8th's empty and "customers" waiting while one waitress works all the tables, the lazy and loud bartender does a lot of nothing, and the presumed owner watches as the service abuse / lack of money making non-sense goes on? It's truly disheartening.

This said, I will do my very best to tell eight people any time SOT's name comes up to NOT go there, and I will do it until I literally see the words "Under New Management" on the side of the building. Neighbor, (SOT) that is you, get your act together. You wonder why your place is 1/8th full during March Madness, for crying out loud?!  Look deep within.
