I'd just like to second this comment about the service stinking here. Even when the service happened to be attentive, no one ever seems to give a rat's * whether or not you are there.

All of the food was great. The cheese plate is phenomenal - good selection (smoked Gouda yum). Jalapeno soup is superb (most of the time) - just enough kick to let you know it's there. 3 cheese grilled cheese was absolutely great - almost too much cheese. Veggie burger is really good - one of the better homemade vb's in Dallas. Also, portabella mushroom sandwich was wonderful. The breads they use are extremely fresh - not sure where they get them, but they add quite a bit to the overall quality of their sandwiches. Oohh, and the portabella fries are a must-have - breaded and fried just right.

Wednesday nights used to be half-price food, which made the reasonable prices even more so, but we haven’t been back in a while, so I can’t guarantee they still do this. We haven’t been back mainly b/c the indifferent service eventually overshadowed the food.

Bar service is generally much better than table service – if you can grab a seat at the bar, do so. Decent selection of draft beers, plus their mixed drinks are not bad (I don’t remember which days they have mixed-drink specials, but they make a good mojito).

I have had some of the worst service I have EVER had here - completely ignored by our waitress - I understand that it gets very busy, but having cocktailed and bartended for years, I know that if you can't get to your tables as fast as you'd like, a smile or hint of a good attitude will carry you through it, most of the time. I've been in once or twice that the service has been good, but most of the time I leave annoyed.
That said, I keep going back. The food is incredible. The Guiness steak sandwich is the only thing I've ever had because it was literally so good I can't bear to be there and not have it. It's huge but so delicious I eat the entire thing every time, even though I promise myself that "this time" I'll take half home. I don't think their fries are the best, so I get a cup of the Cream of Jalepeno soup instead - divine! If you can get there on a Wednesday the value is unbeatable. I'd eat there anytime.
