Fanatics

Stopped in for dinner as it is attached to a Hilton Double Tree and it is expected to be decent, right??? Well, I walked in, took 3 steps, and turned around and went somewhere else.
This place looked like a combination between a local scummy watering dive hole, and a blue hair diner.
The first thing I notice is how uncomfortably open this place was, it felt exactly like a VFW hall before the crummy low rent party starts. It was dead quiet except some private conversations, that stopped as people glared at you as if you were intruding on their «me» time.
7PM and NO ONE was eating, this was so strange I thought I went into the wrong door. It was empty except for the 8 people all huddled around in one area.
And the fact there was no greeter, sorta made it even more odd.
The next morning, I went back due to the fact I was given a voucher for free buffet style breakfast.
Again, the place was completely empty except one older customer, although a waitperson met me as I was walking in.
I piled some food on my plate such as link sausage, bacon, potatoes, and scrambled eggs.
The potatoes and eggs were barely warm, and the bacon and sausage was room temperature.
I left my plate and went back for more, and dug deep for the warm food.
The eggs seemed like they were fake eggs or whatever you get at those economy hotels that serve breakfast, and are cooked on a hotplate. Basically boxy flavored and very finally broken up into little bits. Terrible at best, but the strange thing is, this is a full service restaurant (or at least looked like one).
For me, I could care less about mixologists or Vegas style bartenders when staying at a hotel, because what I am looking for, is convenience, offerings, and a little bit of «nice»…this place was anything but!
My advice to the hotel, they really need to re-​evaluate how this restaurant/​sports bar/​old folks home/​blue-​hair saloon… could be damaging their image.
2 stars for the fact that the coffee was ok and the food didn’t cost me… had I of paid I would have given 1 star.

I was forced to stay in this boring town, so this place is the only funner thing I could find at night during the week. The prices are ok and the Bartender Lori ROCKS MY PANTIES OFF! She is a true mixologist. She should be in Las Vegas at a fancy fufu bar or LA, NYC but not here in this boring town.
Her knowledge is just without words, and she always makes sure you get what you want, even in food.
BUT…during the day AVOID the restaurant. its mostly elderly clientel and the waitstaff is super unattending to people waiting to order to go or sit at the bar. I was told oh we are so busy. when the restaurant was half full and waitresses/​staff were folding napkins.
I waited at the bar for about 10 minutes before giving up and then I figured, hey wait up front and ask. there were 2 ladies working up front, who did not pay attention at ALL!
OK i was getting pissy and I was mean and rude to the elderly waitress, i was just so pissed. It was 1pm lunchtime, it was not sooo busy as it was made out to be.
I have been in busy bars and restaurants, this was not busybusy…
oh well, just go to the bar at night. Music sucks though, sorry@
