TP Crockmiers

This place is really nice when you walk in,  all wood bar and dining room.  The food is greasy and  not that good. The potato skins we're a joke!  Stale potatoes with a slab of cheese not totally melted on top.  I don't know how you can mess up potato skins but they did.  The only saving grace was their French onion soup which was really good.

Pretty disappointed.  What a waste of a beautiful building in a great location.   I ate at the Florida street location twice and it was good, but I did not have very high expectations.  It was a dingy bar/restauraunt.  I walked into the "new" Crockmeirs and was stunned by what a nice job that they did with the decor.  I couldn't wait to see the new menu.  Nope.  Same old menu, with higher prices.  

Food:
I really like french onion soup.  I have to say that it is pretty good and I can't find it anywhere else.  My brother had their $8 bowl of chili.  It was a decent bowl of chili.  We both had steak fries as a side.  Good fries.  The second time that I ate there I ordered the chili cheeseburger for $10.  I told them that they forgot the chili.  The waitress informed me that it was under the patty.  After further investigation, I did find a teaspoon or so of chili. The person that I was eating with ordered the nachos.  The nachos were terrible.  What??? Terrible nachos?  Canned everything.

Service:
Service was fine.  It did take a looooong time.  Over an hour for lunch, which is not acceptable for nachos and a burger w/ fries.  This place really needs to learn how to handle a normal lunch crowd.

Twice is enough... I'm done.

We were in the mood for dessert and drinks and we saw that they had key lime and apple pie.  We sat at the bar and it seemed to have a nice atmosphere.  The bartender Jack was pleasant enough.  They have about 6 beers on tap and I had the Nola Blonde.  It was a nice light beer.  When we were ordering Jack told us that the apple pie I was considering was Sara Lee.  I asked if there were any desserts made in house and he said no.  To top things off it's pretty expensive for store bought dessert and mediocre beer.
