We ate there this Sunday. What a miserable experience. Ordered drinks 2 cokes and a bloody mary. Drinks came minus Bloody Mary. Said that it would be right up. 45 minutes later. Still no bloody mary and no waitress. Went to the bathroom and saw practically all staff standing in front of pass through. When I got back to the table, cornered the waitress and told her that we had to pick some one up in about 45 minutes and if it took any longer to just pack it up to go. I also told her to nix the bloody mary since she never brought it. She went to the kitchen and came back saying it would be about 10 minutes as they were backed up. This was around 2:45? Lunch rush over. Our dining room was half empty. Sounds like breakdowns in both the staff and kitchen. Won't catch me there again. This is the second time I have got screwed at that restaurant. Sadly this seems to be an epidemic. The Service industry has gone to hell. The last time I had great service, I had to pay a nice chunk of money at Flemings. Even so, it was well worth it since I felt like I was really being taken care of.

The tavern burgers used to be good. I used to know many of the cooks there. Lately though, the level of the food has greatly declined. I'm pretty sure you the burger temperature are a bit off.

I've usually been happy with the burgers at the Tavern, located at Three Chopt and Patterson. They cook to temperature, are big and messy, and have some decent cheeses, too. Haven't been there in a couple years or so since I have moved away, but I hope they are still up to par.

in vino: It's really a crap shoot most of the time. I've never really gotten consistent burger temperatures unless I cooked it or I knew the person cooking it. I guess I'm a little pickier than most though. Lots of places have "good" burgers. I'm just looking for a "great" burger.

RVA Foodie: Consider it done. Happy hour and burgers? I'm in.

Funny, my Boca-burgers don't leave any blood on the bun... Am I overcooking them? Just playin. Twas a fun read.

My wife says the 1/2 price happy hour burgers at Can Can are some of the best in town. I'd like an in depth analysis by 86, please.
