Haha, I just found out this closed. Worse run establishment I've ever been in. What a joke. Not surprised they were run out of business.

    Every vendor in Atlantic Center is contending for that title. And I think Target's got it locked up for the 6th straight year.

    Yeah...I love Target, but I hate going to that one. Service is crap! And seems like no one knows anything.

    Wait, you went to Houlihan's why? :wink:

    I think Buffalo Wild Wings was the end for them.

    Yeah, and have you tried the wild wing place?! They forgot our order, and when we got it, it was luke warm, like it had been standing somewhere waiting to be delivered to our table. Thank goodness for real restaurants. Like Applebees on DeKalb. You know they have a Happy Hour special. ;)

    Yeah, my wife and I tried it once for lunch and don't plan on returning. We didn't really have any problems with the service, but for a place called Buffalo Wild Wings, the wings should be better. And it's kind of expensive for what it is.

    Houlihans was horrendous. lived across the street for 8 months, so stopped on there a few times while doing the target thing. literally sat there and had the whole place served, including many who got there even 20 minutes after us, before finally leaving before eating. horrendous. have not been to the wings spot. the meat truck in front of the starbucks is actually pretty solid.

    We went for the wings --- one of their "specialty" items.

    But alas, they were out of wings.

    Then we ordered another of their very very special items and that too was all gone.

    On another occasion (gave them another shot) I watched a beer get warm on the bar while my waitress was nowhere to be found.

    Again, they were out of wings.

    And my appetizers and meal came at the same time.

    I didn't get the opportunity for them to screw me a third time. But I'm sure I would've gone again, tried again. I like the booths. I have a two year old and a booth is restaurant gold.
