Review of Kilington's Restaurant and Pub

This place is terrible. We just ate dinner there ...

This place is terrible. We just ate dinner there this evening, and the service was terrible; the food was overpriced, salty, and really out of place; and the atmosphere was basically that of a dive bar.

When we walked in, we were barely greeted by the hostess before she went to seat the group that arrived just before us. When she returned, she was still very unfriendly and tried to seat me, my husband, our infant in her seat, and my toddler at a table in the very middle of the restaurant. There were several booths available so I asked if we could sit there instead. She picked our menus and silverware and moved them to a booth without ever saying anything. I then asked if we could have a highchair for our toddler. She said, "Sure," but then proceeded to wander around the restaurant for five minutes before going back to her station. My husband had to go get the highchair. Their website says they are 'kid-friendly,' but the only 'kid-friendly thing they did was bring crayons. We almost walked out at that point and probably should have.

Next, we waited another ten minutes to have our drink orders taken (they were not busy). They had a beer special of Yeungling for $1.50 which my husband ordered and then the waiter told him it was only a 9oz. glass. The entire menu is overpriced and makes no sense for the bare-bones zero-personality atmosphere. I had the duck wrap with risotto as my side and my husband had the black bean burger with fries. The duck was drowning in sauce and the risotto was salty and under-cooked. My husband's black bean burger patty looked like the frozen ones you can buy in the store.

Our waiter never asked my husband if he wanted anything else to drink and took forever to bring our check. This was our first and LAST time at Killington's. Go elsewhere - there are much better places to eat in Huntersville than Killington's!
