landmark americana

it has pained me so much these last few years, because of financial constraints, not to participate in restaurant week and dine out for life . however, this year i thought, perhaps if i give a little, i'll get a little, or a lot! and made dine out for life reservations (thurs 4/28) at landmark americana /university city (3333 market street). the restaurant doesn't look very crowded in this picture because i went for alate3pm lunch. but i can imagine on the nights featuring trivia, musical bingo and open mic, accompanied by various drink specials like $3 margaritas and $1 miller lites, this place is probably hoping with the younger set. it's the perfect college campus first date night. not too upscale, but a good step above the neighborhood hang-out. the menus are those big fancy book type, normally reserved for steak houses, yet inside the menu are comfort foods such as: mac n cheese - cork screw with bacon, sharp cheddar and grueyer cheese baked with buttery bread crumbs $8.99 smoke

landmark americana is a great place to grab a beer and a sandwich when you're hungrylatenight. the restaurant and bar stays open late, the menu including food. they have an outdoor fire pit area that's great to dine in as well, even in the winter. sometimes it gets a little crowded, so you have to wait for your food for awhile. in my experience, the grilled cheese was not bad but the veggie quesadilla was really flavorful.  i felt that the quesadilla was well worth the price.  still, i will gladly come back here to relax and have a drink after work.

horrible service. the drinks andlatenight menu are well priced, but the service is horrible. i have been to landmark many times and i have never received even remotely good service. the waitresses and bartenders are always in a bad mood and it is a struggle to order food or drinks. waitresses tend to forget about your round of drinks or food order.
