Ate at a Bombshells Restaurants and Bars last night for the first time. It is a new one in the north Houston (Spring) area that has been open for only 2 weeks.
I was intrigued by the strong military theme with the same business plan that was started by Hooters and has been refined by Tilted Kilts, Twin Peaks, etc.
Liked the decor and the choices on the menu. Gimmicky names for food choices, but I am fine with that.
The prices were reasonable and comparable to others of the same genre.
The waitstaff was for the most part cute in their OD outfits.
Lots of TVs showing sports.
Good Looking bar area if you wanted to eat alone and catch a game.
Good location and going to get a lot more business from the new Exxon HQs when it opens.
However, the service absolutely sucked. Friday evening with a 75% full restaurant, I expected better.
Club/dance music did not seem fitting to the crowd and was way too loud to have a decent conversation with others at the table.
Food quality was mediocre at best. Bland queso and sauce along with the generic chips we had as an appetizer.
I ate the 'Green Beret Burger' and could not even tell it had jalapenos and guacamole on it as described.
Young man with us had the 'Gunner Burger' and was just ok with it, says a lot when a 14 year old boy in middle of a growth spurt does not finish the burger or the fries.
Waitress forgot I was drinking un-sweet tea and I damn near barfed when I took a chug of the 'diabetes in a glass' she bought out as a refill. Finally found a manager who fixed that.
I hate washrooms that don't have paper towels and are not properly stocked. Only 1 sink had soap and they only had a single hot air blower to dry off with.
Question for you DFW, SATX and Austin guys. Are your locations like this one? Can we expect improvement as it gets settled in?
On the whole, I think we got two visits for the price of one, first and last. Which is a shame as I think it has potential.
Right now I see no reason not to drive the extra distance to a Twin Peaks.
