I had been out of the area for a couple of years and was excited to be getting back to Norfolk, and my favorite haunt, Cogan's. Good grief! What has happened!? I went in there with a couple of friends for a pie and beers on a Sunday afternoon...hoping history would be favorable...it was not. The service, if you can call it that, was just wrong. Rude, borderline abusive, oh, and make sure that if you pay with a credit card you circle under and bold face the total and compare it with the other slip...a fifty dollar bill mysteriously became eighty! Where is, or what happened to Fillipowski? It was a tight place back then, but not now. Oh, and if you look real closely around the baseboards, you might see Cogan's new mascot. No longer the gorilla, it is now a cucaracha. For some reason CitySearch would let me write what I really meant to say ?
Pros: local
