I had the Tunisian salad at Booze Clues last night and it was phenomenal. The hush puppies are great too.

The Town Salad and the hushpuppies are also fantastic! And I absolutely love that they are recycling! Go Argo!

i mourn the loss of a veggie burger and fried green tomato.

oh well, at least booty beer is still cheap. i doubt i'll be eating there again.

i'll definitely be making up for more than one veggie's loss as a customer.

hell, you could probably trade me in for three chubby vegetarians and i'll still make the argo money!

LOVE the new menu!

I and a couple of friends tried the new mexican menu (I think that it's thursdays only) at NAPA 1015 last night. It was tasty, tasty, tasty. I think that they have a hit on their hands.

Please bring back the calamari po' boy. The new menu is great, but I really miss this sandwich. Otherwise, you guys are doing great work. Keep it up!

Have they fixed the massive service problems they were having a month or so ago? Please say "yes"...

The fried green tomatoes were not good at the Arg..I have had better and tastier elsewhere...they were soggy. They did have a great Italian bread salad on the menu, and I should have had two of those.

My wife went last night with a couple of friends at around 9pm. Said the waitstaff was running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Took forever to be seated (inside, not out). The kitchen was out of both entrees they tried to order. Sigh. C'mon guys, get it together.

Yes, there are still service problems at Argo.

But I have to give them credit for this fairly aggressive menu. It's way, way beyond typical 'pub fare'. And for that I'm quite grateful.

Went Sunday night with 6 others. Seated promptly. Server was attentive. Food excellent. I love the Argo!
