😠 By far the worst service I have ever received in any restaurant in my life. We ordered our food, waited about 30 minutes, then asked our server if it would be ready soon. He acted like he forgot we ever ordered, but then apologized, and said it would be our soon. Again we waited. Growing impatient,... People often mention service, ordered,

    By far the worst service I have ever received in any restaurant in my life. We ordered our food, waited about 30 minutes, then asked our server if it would be ready soon. He acted like he forgot we ever ordered, but then apologized, and said it would be our soon. Again we waited. Growing impatient, we asked the manager, who was shocked that we had ordered an hour ago and still had no food. She made it in about 5 minutes, but it was not what we ordered. She did not apologize or offer any excuse, and we said we would eat it because we were so hungry and tired of waiting. The food was marginal. We were then asked to pay, and when we inquired as to whether or not we would receive any compensation for the horrible service and lack of receiving what we had ordered, she insulted us, saying "that is not how it is in belgium," and "it has not been an hour." American or not, this type of service is unacceptable. We have been traveling Europe for a month and been to 8 different countries, and no where in the world would this experience be thought of as okay.

    The place is well located, close to the centre but out of the chaotic streets. Negative notes: -the food is really not great -we waited way tooooooooooooo long for what we ordered (4 Lebanese croques and a kid's croque) -one of the order was wrong and the personeel did not deal professionally with it. Positive note: -the personeel is friendly -we did not pay the wrong order -in a calm moment it might be worth trying out this place but definetely not when it is crowded.

👍 Well maintained sports bar with so many activities. A bit challenging to locate for a first timer. Great atmosphere but 4 stars because the food was a bit disappointing. Burger could do with some seasoning.

👍👍 « Luxury fries 🍟 » and well it is quite expensive. But I’d say it is worth it at least once. It is the price for exceptional fries 😉. The fries were absolutely delicious, and well cooked. They ask you to choose 2 homemade sauces. I took the béarnaise and 🤤. The chicken chunks were natural and tas...
