Surf City Bar & Grill

Cook shows up late, manager is always angry, and comps for gambling are inconsistent.  

Used to be a regular spot for night shifters getting off in the morning... now its dead.  

Treat your regulars well... it pays off in the end.

Excellent service. Clean bar. Great atmosphere

Well, I notice there hasn't been  a review on this place in a while...but...sorry to say, not much appears to have changed.  

The service is very subpar in that the bartenders ten to ignore the heck out of you if you don't sit there five days a week and play their bar slots. Actually, they spend a LOT of time talking to each other like they don't spend hours on hours together at work. It's actually kinda pathetic....Not to mention, one of the bartenders is a smoker and he's always chain smoking over on the side which I find rather rude. I don't think I've EVER been in an establishment where it was ok for employees to smoke WHILE working, but *shrug*...When they FINALLY do get to you, they are nice I guess but by then you already feel like crap from having been ignored for so long....

The food...comes from Que Mas (attached/same biz) and it's pretty good. My fave are the chicken wings (they're fried with some great hot sauce on the side) with the nachos coming in second.  Dollar tacos are a winner too.

The drinks are so-so. Nothing to write home about (hence, why I'm writing about them on Yelp lol) and you can get them ANYWHERE. No signature drink that I'm aware of and the happy hour prices cover only the basic beers/margaritas. Again, nothing you can't find at any bar.

The only major upside is that the place is never really super crowded that I've ever seen...but hey...that may have something to do with the service *shrug*
