better than i expected. after reading the other mostly older reviews i expected slow service. i walked in, went over to a table and watched who i assumed was my server talk to the bartender for several minutes and then leave the room. after waiting too long due to how i read the other reviews, i finally found my way to the counter where you need to place your order for food. the person i thought was my server was a food runner. don’t make my mistake, make your way to where the order here/pay here sign hangs.
so, it turned outservicewasn’t so bad, i was just suffering from first visit confusion. the person who took my order said it would take about 15 minutes and that was about how long it took before she brought the food out to me. as long as i know it will take a little longer than i would expect when i place my order, i’m ok.
i ordered something called fat mike, listed as two cheeseburgers with some toppings. again i assumed wrong and thought what they really meant was two patties on a cheeseburger. boy was i surprised when it came out looking like a monster burrito, a hefty cylinder of food wrapped in foil. i decided against trying to tackle it at the restaurant, i’d already spent too much time at munchies, so i took it home. it was a large and messy to eat sandwich, and in hindsight i should have eaten it like a burrito by unwrapping it as i ate. each half of this sandwich was in effect a cheeseburger. aside from having potato pieces inside my sandwich, i thought it was very good, and much more food than i needed tonight.
it was early when i stopped in, at least early munchies time, and was not very busy. this is not a bright shiny place, more like a dark older establishment where much of the lighting came from the tvs and some christmas lights. i was inside but there is much more seating outside and in what looked like a tiki bar. to me, munchies seemed more like a bar with food instead of a restaurant with drinks, but they also seemed to do a healthy takeout business, so perhaps food is their main purpose. either way, it was an interesting visit and better than i expected.
