About The Periodic Table

The Periodic Table offers a mixed experience, featuring some highlights alongside a few lows. The entree and food quality have received varied reviews, with some dishes, like the Brisket Grilled Cheese, praised as among the best sandwiches ever. Other offerings, such as the portobello sandwich and a juicy burger, have also been well-received, while the mac and cheese, although lacking the baked crispy top some prefer, had a flavorful and creamy sauce. The atmosphere is science-themed and well laid out, with a nice bar and a clean restaurant. The decor and lively music make it good for family celebrations. Service has ranged from rude and slow to fast and friendly, with instances of overcharging for tips, but many guests have enjoyed the accommodating staff, especially the attentive server. The restaurant has a good children's menu and a separate severe allergen menu for dietary restrictions. Recently, some visits have been disappointing due to limited menu options and the restaurant's uncertain future, as owners discuss plans to save or close it. Drinks like beer and rum and Coke are simple but good. Overall, while some aspects like the food and cleanliness could improve, others like the friendly service and themed atmosphere make it a place with potential, especially if it stays open and improves.
