Wabash Bar

[EllRobersonisInnocent]

Got the wings as an app which were great. Nice and crispy w/ a side of an adobe-blackberry dipping sauce. Only problem was that we ordered a dozen and were brought out 3. The server said for some reason it rang in as Half of a Half dozen. So after a 10 minute wait we were rewarded w/ 3 more wings (halfway there to our dozen we ordered). Server apologized and took our food order. I got the Fire Engine #7 (burger w/ roasted pablono peppers, adobe-raspberry sauce, pepperjack cheese and an onion ring). The burger was ok. Came out juicy and medium even though I ordered medium well (expecting it to be under done) with a nice kick with the pepper and bbq. Our food took 15 minutes or so and we finally got the last of our 6 wings we ordered for an appetizer 30 minutes earlier. Overall the food was decent at best and some definite kinks to be worked out which is understandable being the first night open. Service was sub-par and that's being nice. We honestly felt that our table was our server's 1st table ever. No way she was ever a server before this. I had my roommates beers on my ticket and I was charged $5.00 for a half dozen wings while he was charged $5.99 for 6 wings. She got things fixed and still got a nice tip

I'll probably never go back because I can get better food at basically any other restaurant in the Ville. It's a step above Kites. Pretty sure it's owned by the same people as Bullchicks, or atleast managed by the same middle aged woman w/ her husband.

Basically if you want to go to Wabash, stop at the front door, turn around and walk across the street to Aggie Station

Well I'll never go now.

[WillieWatanabe]

so why did it take so long to open?

[puniraptor]

Ill give it some time to work out the kinks.

The first few weeks of any new restaurant are a cluster.

[Dugout DickStone]

Went there Friday night for the "Soft Opening" and yeah the service was pretty bad. I don't believe the kitchen was open this day so i didn't have the chance to eat. As far as pounding beers though the place is pretty sweet I thought, and will stay that way as long as their staff gets their crap together.

[cfbandyman]

Hope the service is better than Tubby's. Love the Friday booze burger, hate the crap service. Of all the places in the 'Ville Tubby's to me consistently ranks poor to awful in terms of service. Really want to compare with Tubby's cause if it's worse this place should just #burnitdown.

its very nice inside and I had decent service when I was there over the weekend. a lot of kinks to be worked out for sure but I bet it ends up being a pretty serviceable option.

[puniraptor]

The rooftop patio will keep them going even with crap service. If it ever stops raining.

[GoodForAnother]

I used to work for the guy who is the head chef and he is a really good cook but doesn't have experience at this volume.  Probably take him a bit to get all those kinks worked out like others have said.  He is talented though and makes great food.  He used to make us these Italian sandwiches at work that were amazeballs.

sorry, no.   so long makes the best burgers on the planet.  i mean the meat is crap and the toppings are pretty bad too, but there is no doubt that the two combine to make a great burger.

[WillieWatanabe]

It's pretty nice on the rooftop, other than the random smell of snuggle from the laundromat vents next door.

[bones129]

I will try this place. All these posts give me no choice. Have to find the truth for myself.

[Stevesie60]

There head chef is pretty great. They're owner is pretty douche.
