#18 - Small Bar - Small Bar Burger

As soon as we walk into Small Bar, nobody is there to seat us, so we take a seat ourselves at a table that was literally made out of an old door. The waiter comes by and asks for our ID's. We aren't 21, and we don't plan on ordering anything that would require us to be 21. The place isn't even full, we're not taking up any room they would need for drinkers. It's about 9pm at night. He tells us we can't eat here.

We inform the chump that we just want to order burgers. All six of us do not want any alcoholic drinks, just burgers. He tells us we can't be inside the bar right now, but he will take our order and consider it a carryout. Suddenly we get a waitress who doesn't ask anyone if they want a fountain drink, and just gets our order of burgers. She gives us a bottle of water and we refill the drinks ourselves.

Time goes by, and we ask her if we can just eat in here. Obviously we're already in the bar, if we were really breaking any laws by ordering a burger here, they should have never let us sit down in the first place. She tells us as soon as we get the order, we have to leave. So then we get the check.

On the check is a $9 tip, that they added themselves. We ask if we can get the tip removed since this order is basically carry out, we didn't order any drinks she had to fill for us, and we weren't even taking up space, the bar was still half empty. She says no.

She comes back eventually (we still didn't have our order yet, which is great because then she couldn't shuffle us out right away) and I ask if I can speak to the manager or whoever is in charge. She tells me the manager is off tonight, and I can leave a message that they'll read in the morning. Great suggestion lady, I'm sure we'll definitely get our $9 back the next day. So then I ask her, "Well who is in charge right now, can I speak to them? We don't want to pay this tip, you guys made us order out and we didn't order any drinks. You did a great job handing us this bottle of water, but I think $9 is a little excessive."

She goes back to the bartender in charge, and delivers the message that we won't have to pay the tip this time, so we should consider ourselves lucky, and keep this in mind next time we go to a Small Bar. She is then made aware we're never going to a Small Bar again.

As soon as we get the order in six individual boxes, we leave and go eat in the car. Not really an order you can check before you leave the place, considering how unique our orders were. Upon getting into the car and driving a few blocks down to a gas station to get something to drink, we realize they literally got every order wrong. 5 people ordered regular fries, so we ended up with 5 spicy fries. Basically every order we got was off, the only person who ended up with the correct order was Keith. Not wanting to go back, we just tried it out.

The burger itself was pretty spicy, most of us did not finish. The fries tasted like they were seasoned by dumping them in a bag of Barbeque Lay's chips.

Looking back, we should have just listened to the guy who said we couldn't eat here and just left. A review where I say they wouldn't let us eat would only be about ten times better than this review they ended up with.
