terrible.... let me preface this "review" with this: i gavemac'sa ton of chances. i frequented the restaurant, going so far as to show up around four times a month for various reasons. it is an easily accessible spot for all of my friends to get together for a couple of drinks and some grub. had you asked me a couple of weeks ago, i wouldn't have said i had an impression ofmac'seither way. but now, i sure as hell do.
mac's has a plethora of tvs, as well as nfl sunday ticket, so with the nfl having started recently i decided to go tomac'son sundays with some buddies to watch the games. this started off fine -- the first week we ordered wings and a couple of beers. the next week, just the beers, no food.
this leads me to my experience last week. with none of my friends able to make it, i decided to go tomac'son my own to watch some football. i sat in a booth in the corner of the restaurant, by the restrooms, and requested that my game be put on the television between the two bathrooms. i thought this way i wouldn't be disturbing anyone on my own, even though the bengals didn't play that day. i had a huge breakfast before hand, and didn't really feel like drinking, so i ordered a soda and watched the game.
about halfway through the game, someone i assume was the owner came over and told me if i wasn't going to order anything, that i should get out and not come back. talk about terrible service. i laughed in his face, paid for my mountain dew, and walked out, never to return. i understand if the bar had been busy, or if this had been a regular occurrence, ordering only a soda and nothing else would be a bit annoying. but kicking a somewhat-regular out of the restaurant for not ordering food was too much.
if you enjoy getting pressured into ordering food or drinks, and don't mind the occasional slime falling onto you from the ceiling,mac'sis your joint. if you want a good restaurant or bar experience, the city has plenty more to offer than this trash heap.
