Review of Stinetti's Restaurant - Poway

Nothing to write home about, though perhaps it was just a off day.

The building itself is nice, the decor matches the atmosphere. Wish there were booths, from what I saw there were only chairs. Could see the station from where we were at, which was nice. Bathroom to me seemed outdated. No music, which struck me as odd.

The first person who came up to us seemed nice enough, then we said we had a voucher and he seemed to immediately become disinterested, took our drink order and left. Not sure if he was just a busser or a server.
Another person came over, who would serve us for the rest of our meal. Nice man, though service was slow, saw him a couple times, only got a refill once(for my mom's drink, didn't get one for mine). Food was slow to come out, and the fries that came with my burger arrived much later than our meal.

We got the "Frings" appetizer. Onion rings were really good, but the steak fries were just okay(could use some more salt, and crunch I think).
My mom got the Tri-tip sandwich. She said it would have been okay, but was smothered in cheddar cheese, that to her did not taste good
I got the Cowpoke with the boca patty. I'd describe it as okay. Overloaded with cheese(and I LOVE cheese). Couldn't taste the onion. Ended up asking for some lettuce and tomato to help it out. Neither of our stomachs settled quite right afterwards, we think due to the cheese.
We finished off our meal with a apple cobbler, which we both really enjoyed.

Not sure if it was a off day, or if we were treated differently due to having a voucher. We were going to tip on what the meal price would be, the server however insisted we didn't need to. Unfortunately only had a card, so was unable to leave a tip at the table.

Overall not too impressed compared to other burger places, but may come back in the future to try again.
