Red Lion

Good, happening place. Hostess seated us, 2 people, quickly during a busy Friday night without reservation. Food came out quickly. Server visited our table often for refills. Nachos were awesome. Went as smoothly as you could hope. Seems like they were fully staffed. With COVID surge, not all nights are like that, but they do a really good job when able.

So crowded it's abnoxious. The $25 "supreme world famous nachos" barely had meat and the cheese only came on half the order. The rest of the chips were pretty bare. The $15 chili tasted like brown soup that you had to fish out small bits of meat. The server was kind and attentive but I will NEVER go back.

Stopped for a quick bite close to the end of the lunch hour on 6/11/2022 during the GoPro Games. Were seated timely, but everything went bad after that. The server, although admitted that she only has been working there for a little over a week, had no clue about the menu, was short and borderline rude from the beginning. Took our order (visit one), brought our drinks (visit two). I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich. For $20 I got a sandwich that even 7/11 makes better. The chicken patty seemed to have come from a bag of frozen chicken and it was topped with two slices of American cheese that made it suffocating. The pickled onion topping was good. My husband had the french dip (called Red Lion Dip I think). He said the meat tasted like deli meat. Our server showed up a third time to ask if we wanted boxes, then came with the receipt (visit four). They have an electronic payment system right at the table. The options were to tip 18%, 20%, or 25% while the server is hovering over you watching every move you make. Service was horrible, but put on a spot I felt bullied into tipping the 20%, which was the pre-set easy to pick option. After that a question came up "how happy were you with your visit?" with a thumb up and thumb down option. I was ready to hit the thumb down when the server snapped the machine out of my hand said something to the effect that that is not needed and left to attend another table. Well, if I could have hit the thumb down, it might have ended there. But after that very rude last move from the server I decided to give them the thumb down here. We paid about $75 for two drinks and two sandwiches. It was definitely a waste of money.
