Congrats on the review Chop Bar!!!!

My family concurs with this reviewer, with one “little” acceptation … your Kids Menu needs some major work.

We have had both the Mac’n'Cheese and the Chicken Fingers several times [eat in & take out] and all have been huge disappointments, they come a la carte so for $5 your get a small bowl of plain mac with some cheese and milk mixed in [if you are cooking to order a béchamel based cheese sauce would be much more appealing for the kiddies] or there are the chicken tenders, that every time were dry, flavorless and burt on one side, with no sauce [ketchup is always offered] and that is it… no veggi, no fries, nothing, just two lone tenders or small serving of mac on an otherwise empty plate …

We totally get that you are not a “family” joint but this falls way short in so many categories; portion size, nutrition, presentation, flavor, food value etc. especially when compared to Chop Bars regular menu offerings. I share this with you all in the interests of this being a constructive critique.

I should note we still love to eat at Chop Bar!!!!… we just feed our kids from the “regular menu” at least until the kids menu gets improved.

You’re absolutely, right, Martie. We’ve had some kinks to work out with the service these first couple of months, but i think we’ve finally got the upper hand. Come check us out in the next couple of weeks and let us know what you think.

More local than the farmed stuff from Thailand. I think its a good product. You got us on the spelling, though..

I’m very pleased you’ll be concentrating on staff training. Time is money and when customers are left waiting and waiting, inconsistency and lack of timeliness can translate into disrespect. There are alot of restaurants vying for customer patronage, alot of excellent chefs with sublime food and customer service may make the difference in your ability to fly in the face of restaurant attrition.

Good Luck,
I’ll be back to try your Sunday brunch.
