text: I have given Nolen Kitchen a few chances over the last few years and I am officially done I want to like it especially after the restaurant revamp they just did but it just falls so flat for me every timennThis most recent experience we were seated about min after out reservation time fine whatever its a busy Saturday Once we do sit our server came by pretty quickly but then for the rest of the night he was MIA We ordered a few apps the zucchini chips were prob the highlight of the whole meal that is sad The mussels were extremely chewy and sandy we barely touched the dish The pork belly tacos were okay the pork belly seemed overcooked or something it was very toughnnFor entrees my friend wanted the hangar but they just sold out and only had the NY strip fine I wanted a salad and the steak sandwich well they told me no go on that either because they ran out of the steak so my sister spoke up and said no you should be able to use the strip so the server came back again and they offered something else a lower quality of meat but fine I will try it My sister got the short ribs All were just meh My friends steak was not cooked properly so that went back fast thanks to the manager walking by not our server of course My caprese was good but I do not think you can really mess that up steak sandwich was chewy and a bit fatty My sisters short rib and grits well the grits were okay but I am not a grit eater so hard to know what is good BUt the short ribs were sooo dry belchnnSo at this point we are just done and want to get out We ask for the check when we can finally flag the server down then we set it out immediately on the corner of the table No joke he walked by at least times and ignored it Service seems to be an issue at other places from this restaurant group so I guess its not something they care about But when the food just is not up to par either well strikes and they are out I can honestly say I will be just fine heading to other places in the area and not thinking twice about Nolen Kitchen in the future
