Vista Beer Tour: Prohibition Brewing Company
Waitress not knowledgeable about beers Asked for Hoppiest beer but got some flat no head dark thing with some hop flavor Manager exchanged it for some GreenFlash IPA Then he explained how I did not make my self clear, as the waitress must have understood me to ask for the hoppiest beer they brewed on premise... hmmmm Understaffed Waitress was too busy with a large party so finally one of the owners took our order, when asked how large the burgers were, she said about 1\4 pound (when they arrived I estimated them at 1\2 pound (well informed owner) When asked what condiments come on a burger she pointed to the mustard, ketchup, salt & pepper. I restated my question with classification as to lettuce tomato etc ( the menu describes all the burgers as: Burgers With Regular Fries, Cajun or Truffle Cheese Burger Terriyaki Hawaiian Jalapeno Avacado - with Cheese Bell Pepper Mushroom - with Bacon) Please note in the burger section there are no plain old burgers.... and no description of what comes on the burgers. Her reply was Lettuce, Tomato & Pickle, Mine came with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle and some thinly sliced red onions that looked greasy. I asked for mayo and put some on the top bun. Took one bite chewed and swallowed, and decided it was the worst burger I had ever tasted. What she and the menu left out was that the burger was cooked with so much garlic & salt that it may as well have been a vegiburger. On a side note the fries look like the cheapest frozen ones you can get, you know all short & broken pieces and they were cooked wonderfully golden yellow and had that quintessential lack of crunch we all love in our fries! Boy for 9.00 bucks you sure get crap on a plate. I haven't mentioned the ambiance of a school cafeteria or (like in the movies) a jail cafeteria, 3 different floors of varying age and color vinyl tiles, and not a soft surface in the place. The roar was intolerable and I had to lean in to my dining companion to hear her, & her me. Clearly these people are struggling with their first foray into commercial food service. Every problem I had was met with an explanation as to why they were right, inferring why I was wrong. I got so tired of this I informed them that I wanted the entire table comp'ed. They brought me a bill and said they took off my meal. I reminded them of my informing them I wanted the table comped and they removed the plates from my two dining companions. Good luck as they run through their savings, the mortgage on the house and their retirement accounts pouring money into a mismanaged first attempt into the food service business— April 20, 2012 10:04 a.m.
