text: I would rather have my hand slammed in a van door than have to go back to this place again I have lived in Tempe for years and just never made it into The Tavern on Mill but today I made a special effort to give this place a shot but I should have just gone to Rula Bula instead I ducked into the Tavern in the late afternoon only to encounter a total lack of hospitality Two waitresses greeted me at separate points in the first few minutes I was there both with questions that might as well have been What are you doing here Both times I was slightly taken aback and I replied sheepishly that I was there for lunch as I felt like I had done something wrong by even walking through the door The waitress who was my actual server seemed to distain me for some unknown reason and I felt that I needed to work to win her over and demonstrate to her that I was a good customer Then I realized that since I was the customer was not she supposed to try to win me over by making me feel somewhat comfortable in this establishment Anyway the badindifferent attitude of the wait staff conflicts with the mellow surfer decor of the barnnI ordered a burrito enchilada style only to be told that they still had to make the enchilada sauce and that I could queso sauce instead Not that big of deal Considering that I went on a Monday which is happy hour all day I initially was planning on having a couple of cheap beers but when I was near the end of eating the check was put in front of me signaling that my meal was over I would only go back to this place if a friend dragged me there
