I HAD A BLAST! MET A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE. THE STAFF ARE SUPER FRIENDLY. GREAT MUSIC. FRIENDLY CROWD. GOOD FOOD!

Great food, good service, snobby patrons 12/21/2003

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. Ordered the quesadilla that was outstanding. My strawberry salad was great too. Our server was kind and prompt. However, the patrons were odd. There were two obviously over intoxicated guys at the bar that were being served. One almost stumbled into me. I would recommend coming here, but I would say only for lunch. Pros: Parking, Food Cons: Prices more

We like it 7/11/2003

Wild Onion has never disappointed us. No complaints over service or food - I love the strip steak! more

a smelly onion 1/17/2003

In favor of this bar is the parking lot, the lighting, good televisions, and a woodsy bar. I did not have the service problems complained about by other reviewers, but my wife and I arrived early and did not stay for the dancing, when I suspect most problems occur. But our nachos were made with a disgusting sort of fried chip (as if this dish must be more unhealthy than it already is) and our chocolate cake was not even good by supermarket standards. The beer selection was average. Overall, the place lacks the relaxing character that would bring us back. Pros: woodsy bar, parking Cons: food more

ben there 1/8/2003

This bar needs an attitude adjustment 12/16/2002

Overpriced drinks, snobby staff, and bouncers who think they're God, ah The Wild Onion. The only reason I've ever gone to the Onion is for the birthday special, and that can't even get me in the door anymore. This bar sucks. Generally, the patrons are terribly dull, snobby, stare-down-their-nose folk. Go just about anywhere else and you'll be better off. Pros: they have beer Cons: pretentious, overcrowded, HORRIBLE service more

Great Atmosphere for food or late night 11/21/2002

Very good food selection. Late night dance crowd was great, lots of people, lots of energy. Pros: food, dance Cons: crowded more

B-Day bashes gone bad 9/18/2002

Went here for a friends B-day. Worst service I've E VER encountered in the cities. The b-day girls didnt even get my friend her b-day mug until an hour after our arrival. On top of that, they gave the petite girl and XL b-day shirt and then tried to charge her for drinks. The whole staff was horrible. I'm surprised the place makes money w/the terrible service and all the free drinks girls get from the bartenders. I would recommend to everyone to come here for their b-day bash NEVER! more

Going wild? 7/26/2002

A great place for dancing and have good time with your group of friends. more

Great Decor-Long Wait for Food 7/2/2002

I was excited to go to the Wild Onion despite its negative reviews on this site; I had heard it was a good place. We visited on a Monday night and it was not busy. Every drink we ordered came promptly, but the food took over 40 min. Our waitress let us know that the reason was because they were looking for Bleu Cheese for my salad but couldn't find any and we were offered $1 off because of the missing Bleu Cheese. (no comp for the wait) The table next to us waited only half the time but the manager came over to them and offered a free dessert. Our waitress even forgot to deduct the measly $1 from our bill. This place has potential to be a great restaurant with its large beer selection, trivia, and decor, but it simply isn't. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. Pros: Beer selection, Large parking lot, NTN Trivia Cons: Too long of a wait, Mediocre food, Dull atmosphere more

rude staff, bad service 6/20/2002

We were getting hussled out, the bouncer was like, keep moving, keep moving, then my buddy went to the john and this guy just took his drink and throw it to the bar, I asked for the drink back since my buddy was comming back, he said no way. We almost got pushed out and we had half a jar of beer that we wanted to finish. This guy was very rude, all the bouncers were almost kicking people out. I'm never going back to that place again. Pros: nice girls there, good music, 2 $ cover Cons: rude service, lasy service more

Poor Service 6/5/2002

We ate at the Wild Onion on a Wednesday evening and the service was terrible. We did not received any silverware, we had to ask the other wait staff for assistance and it still took our waitress 10 minutes to come and help us. I would not recommend this restaurant. Also the smoking and non-smoking areas are not seperated properly. We sat in the non-smoking section and right next to us was a smoking table, the fumes wafted over in a constant stream. Pros: good location, parking lot Cons: poor service, dark in areas, smoke in non-smoking more
