TERRIBLE!! COLD FOOD & EVEN WORSE SERVICE--AVOID!!!!!!!!!
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

06/23/2008 Posted by vevillar

Go To Louie’s or Blackbeard’s instead…. My family & I went to Amberjack’s on a Friday evening and it wasn’t particularly busy (maybe 80% full), yet our waiters were SLOW, our FOOD WAS COLD, and the management even worse. We ordered off the menu and not the buffet, yet all our food tasted as if it had been sitting for hours on a cold buffet line. Every single item we ordered was cold. The fries, the baked potato, grilled chicken, even the butter that arrived with the crab legs all were COLD!!! Worse yet when both the manager and executive chef came to our table all they offered was an insincere apology. They never offered to replace our meals with hot ones; or even so much as comp our non-alcoholic beverages. Who doesn’t at least buy the table some soft drinks?! The waitstaff was so slow. I had to go to the bar to get my own drink refills, we never received water refills, and I had to chase them down for the check. When we did receive our bill, they charged us for drinks we never received and items we had sent back uneaten. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE & EAT ELSEWHERE!!!

Pros: NONE!

Cons: COLD FOOD, SLOW SERVICE, NO DECOR, PARKING NIGHTMARE
