Really disappointed - not going back.

by juliel8135 at Citysearch

i used to be a Pub regular but I'm done. Last night I went to get a burger because they can cook them to order. Ordered it medium three times. Three times got a well done burger served. Really disappointed that in an hour and a half I couldn't get my dinner and *nothing* was done to make it up to me except "we'll take it off your bill." Of course you will since I never got what I ordered. When the waitress brought the receipt, the check clearly indicated that she had written down "well", thus why the kitchen staff kept screwing it up. The owner was there and everything, and didn't seem to care beyond finally suggesting (long after my dinner companion had finished his meal of course) that I "order a sandwich." Everyone has off nights, but screwing up in the exact same way THREE TIMES and not doing anything to compensate for it, not even actually being SORRY about it, especially for someone who eats there on average twice a week, is just crappy. Undermines one of the points of being a regular somewhere if you still get crappy service from wait staff to management.

Great place to meet friends

They have the best fish and chips in town. It is a neighborhood place that is friendly and fun to go. You can sit outside and have dinner or a drink with friends.

• Pros: Best fish and chips

GREAT FOOD, MONTHLY EVENTS & STAFF

by kerryd at Citysearch

THE PUB OFFERS GREAT FOOD (NOT JUST BAR FOOD). THEY HAVE LIVE MUSIC EVERY THURSDAY, PUB BINGO, NAME THAT TUNE NIGHT, PUB TRIVIA AND GUEST BARTENDER ON A MONTHLY BASIS. THE STAFF IS FRIENDLY AND REMEMBER THEIR REGULAR CUSTOMERS. INSIDE CAN GET A LITTLE SMOKEY, HOWEVER THEY HAVE A GREAT COVERED PATIO THAT HAS FANS TO KEEP YOU COOL. THE DESSERTS ARE AWESOME. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A LIMITED MENU, THEY OFFER QUITE A BIT OF SPECIALS EVERY DAY. THE PRICES ARE IN LINE WITH OTHER RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA. THEY OFFER A NUMBER OF SPECIALTY DRAFT BEERS AND THEY PRICE THEIR DOMESTICS AT $2.50. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD PUB.

• Pros: BEST FISH & CHIPS IN DURHAM
• Cons: CAN BE SMOKEY INSIDE

Great desserts and service, but a bit pricey for pub fare

by MichJay1 at Citysearch

This is a great place to go if you want to hang out at a bar and have a drink, or for a simple lunch or dinner. The desserts are especially great - homemade, huge, and awesome. Some of the menu items, however, are a bit overpriced for a local pub in this area. The service is also usually above average - the bartender is friendly and conversational, while the waitstaff is courteous and upbeat. I would recommend this place for drinks or a quick dessert, but not necessarily for an elaborate meal.

• Pros: Desserts, Service
• Cons: Prices

Great food and environment!

We discovered "the Pub" about a year ago and have become regulars for their AMAZING menu!! The HUGE menu is wonderful, we have had everything from burgers to salads, fish and chips, chickenpot pie...all of it, and have never had even a mediocre meal here! EVERYTHING is great! They have a great beer selection and their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend West 94th St. Pub to anyone looking for great food in a cool locally owned environment!

• Pros: Great food and service
