Problem: We had dinner there tonight and it took 2 1/2 hrs. We were a party of 10 and it took an 1 1/2 hrs to get the first plate. The worst part was they brought all the adult food first and 20 minutes later brought the kids chicken fingers and spaghetti. After dinner they didn't even clear the table before dessert. There were only like 4 other tables so it wasn't packed. Food was pretty good but not worth a trip back.

Problem: Who wouldn't love a name like that?! "Hey, I'm going to Suck Bang Blow tonight!" lol And as much as I'm not suppose to judge a book by its cover, the name sold me... I had to find out what's going on behind those doors. First off, this place is near Concord Mills Mall, the other side of the Burton Smith Blvd back behind BJ (appropriate choice of reference for a place called Suck Bang Blow haha... oh I crack myself up!!) and all those things. It's not easy to spot since it's at the other end (not by the street) of a new brick strip mall. The space is just a big rectangle, with a bar on one end and pool tables on the other and booths in between. It was pretty empty on a Tuesday night. Yes, there is a BAF (Big Ass Fan) on the ceiling. Let's get down to biz-ness, the food. I ordered the beef brisket sandwich with a side of baked mac & cheese ($7.99), and a bottle of miller lite ($2 special) to wash everything down with. My friend got the pull pork sandwich special ($5.99 last night) with a side of onion rings and it came with a little slaw. Food was solid. Pull pork was moist and tender. Beef brisket has a good bounce to the meat but not tough at all. The house sauce has a mesquite smoke taste to it along with the tanginess. The portion was good, I saved half for another meal. Mac & cheese at first taste was a little bland, but it got better as I digged in. And don't underestimate that little cup, when I dumped them in my to-go box, it's quite sizable. Onion rings were yummy, and best part... it didn't come apart when we ate it, the onion stayed put. I give the food my thumbs up. Service was great too. I know it was empty, but that never seems to guarantee anything. Our waitress was a young girl who kept the sweet tea coming, made sure I didn't need another cold one, told us about the dinner specials and the upcoming labor day event, and even offered to give us to-go cups for the tea. And she did all these with a smile... take that lousy waitresses at Mac's Speed Shop! So, with everything said, I'll definitely and gladly going to Suck Bang Blow again and again... haha (told ya the name is awesome!)

Problem: What can I say? We ended up here 2 of the 4 nights we were in Vegas. It has a great view and it doesn't get super packed. It is easy to socialize with others and the drinks are great. It definitely has the best view of the strip out of any other place. The girls we were with managed to get us all in for free to Moon, Playboy and Ghostbar every night. :D

Problem: This is a go-to for us. Whenever anyone is visiting from out of town, we take them to this spot. It feels local, it feels clandestine at times, it feels authentic. Wine list is stellar and I have never had a wine there I didn't like. I mean, I have never really had a wine anywhere I didn't like, so take it for what it's worth. Pretty decent beer list and the martinis and margaritas are solid. Food is consistently one of those meals you are still talking about the next day. Went there recently with a group of 6. Roasted garlic as an appetizer? I was hesitant, but it was subtle buttery goodness that we all raved about. The carne adovado is a classic, never go wrong dish to order for dinner that a few people got. I typically order one of the fish specials and they are always creative dishes with an interesting sauce option. This time I got the seabass which was cooked to perfection and swimming in a chipotle orange sauce that I could've poured over anything (and everything) which I did with the accompanying vegetables. Not a place for kids-- in fact, I don't think they even have high chairs, so its a date night kinda place. Good news is-- if you didn't bring your kid, you aren't stuck next to another kid anyways. And I have to appreciate that.
