Drive by this place at all cost! This was our 1st and last time at this hole.
We had high hopes for The Onion Pub, however our hopes were dashed as soon as we were seated. We went in late Saturday afternoon and we hoped to have some good beers, food and conversation. What we had was a disinterested hostess that sat us in a depressing back room between the kitchen and toilets, that truly was gods waiting room. Our fellow diners were a Korean war vet and his wife, 6 golden girls, grandparents making string ties with their bored grand daughter and a woman and son that were obviously kitchen staff family members, not the Saturday crowd we would have chosen, but the Korean vet and his wife were pleasant company and we did enjoy talking with them. They were the only thing we enjoyed about the experience . Our waitress was one of the worse, she told us about the soup of the day but did not wait around to see if we wanted it, we ordered two burgers and we had to tell her how we wanted them cooked, I asked for mayo on the side for the fries and she came back with a teaspoon of mayo and sat it down on the table, returned shortly while my husband and I were in conversation and banged a bottle of ketchup down between us that we did not ask for, I set the timer on my phone to see how long the mayo would sit on the table before the food arrived, since you don't leave dairy out in a hot room, it was on the table for 12mins, my husband asked for another since this was sitting too long, and she brought back the same teaspoon of mayo. We had to beg for the beer menu, I had heard this place had a great selection, she proceeded to scratch out the ones they did not have. We decided on two big boys, the beer was good but not worth a return trip, no mention of flights or any of the things on the website, maybe you had to sit in the bar for that, but since we were not asked where we wanted to sit, who the heck knows. We asked for well done burgers, what we got were two thin black orbs, I had to check to see if it was a blacked burger, McDonald's at least has the good graces to have burgers that are burger color, not the color of the bottom of my shoe, they were barely edible. Ive done better on the grill at home. We were not made to feel welcomed at all, I don't know if it was because we are not 30 or a young family and just two 40 somethings that are not obese or unattractive that just wanted a few beers and a meal. After our meal the waitress did not ask if we wanted the fries wrapped, I would have said no, but its standard to ask or ask if there was a problem when you see the diner has not touched them. I was expecting something like the Cary Pub, or Emmett's, what we got was a sad hospital cafeteria.
