Our server was very attentive and kept checking on us but the quality of food is subpar. Had their chicken dumpling soup and there was one teaspoon of celery, chicken and orange pieces in it. There were NO dumplings.it was all broth. The turkey, bacon guacamole wrap was mostly filler of lettuce and tomatoes. There were bits and pieces of shredded turkey deli meat mixed with a few cut up pieces of pre-cooked bacon. My friend had a burger and ordered it medium. It was completely grey in the middle, no pink. She had a cup of dumpling soup and it was the same with hers, nothing in it but broth. Don't waste your $.

Decent food, got there early but received food cold. Bar staff is expected to serve bar, make drinks for dining room, and transactions and run orders?

The quality of their food dropped after the owner died. I know the difference between haystack onion rings and that Durkee crap from a can. Tried a Ceasar salad with shrimp, and the shrimp were the size of nickels, and chewy and inedible. I won't be back.

Although Amelia's has nice old airplane decor, the rest is a bit out dated. The lighting is kept very dark, with too bright, single bulb, lamps hanging in the center of the tables. It was a bit rough on the eyes going from dark, to bright light throughout dinner. I called ahead to be sure they weren't going to be crowded as I know some nights they have karaoke. We just wanted a quiet spot to have dinner and chat. There other several other tables with people, and a number out on the patio, and at the bar. But they spaced people well so it was a nice and quiet for conversation.

Our server was excellent. She was friendly and knowledgeable, knew a lot of the regulars, and stayed out on the floor when not getting food from the kitchen. I order a cup of clam chowder but she didn't want to serve it to me because there wasn't much left and she didn't want to be scraping the pot. THAT I appreciate.

The food was standard bar fare, nothing fancy or special. Don't get me wrong it certainly wasn't bad. I ordered the French Dip and the au jus was a very tasty accompaniment. There could have been more actual roast beef on the sandwich, but it was still good. And they have tater tots. I know it seems like such a small thing, but sometimes I just don't want my potatoes in fry format. Everyone ordered different things and no one had any criticisms, but also no raves either. Standard fare for a casual night out in a neighborhood bar.

Under Ma's Roof

We went there yesterday. There were two sets of doors. The first door we went through reeked of cigarettes. When we entered I noticed they still have the same carpet that was there when I was a kid. Having carpet in a bar is dumb because that old spilled alcohol lingers in the air and it's hard to eat while smelling funk. It was a Saturday night and dead. The bartenders were playing a variety of music and but had the volume up WAY too loud. Can't really rate the food. It had no flavor and was undercooked. Our appetizer came out first. We ordered the blooming onion. It was raw, hard, crunchy onion with the middle missing. We sent it back. It came back cold after we were served our main course. My son's sandwich had no flavor what so ever. I've worked in the food industry for a long time. First sight is so important. If it looks terrible it'll probably be terrible. Many years ago their food was amazing. So this was a big disappointment. And a lot of business's would do anything for a great location. You are right across the street from the airport. PLEASE fix this place up or sell it to someone that can. Our waitress was AWESOME ? She definitely gets 5 stars! Sorry to be so harsh but this place definitely needs some improvement.
