No good

We tried this restaurant while visiting in Lincoln. Grilled chicken on the California Dreamin' with house fries. Sandwich was pretty good, along with a side of ranch. Service was pretty good. The lemon drop martinis needed to be filled to the top they were 75% full; had to be a double shot for it to be filled to the top. Other than that, had a nice time.

OVERALL this is a very solid place. We went on Saturday though, and it gave a little disappoint. Kids wanted nachos to start as a splitter. I asked the server "do you have anything really spicy? Some extra-hot sauce? Fresh jalapenos, anything??" She said "not really" and offered Cholula (which was past its expiration date). The nachos CAME with fresh jalapenos so that was a nice touch. Their salsa was kind of sweet and bland. But this isn't a Mexican restaurant so I should be less critical probably. We had a Sirloin / Gorg salad and the portion of steak was fairly small (seemed too small for an $18 salad) and at least a quarter of the steak was inedible as it was gristle / connective tissue. The salad was a little bland from lack of dressing and the dressing itself seemed "blah". We split Poutine with chicken as well and it was very fun / indulgent. Good to split because it's a lot of richness. BIG PRAISE for the bartender for making two very solid martinis. He took his time and did them right. Service at the table was solid but the noise in the train car room is just deafening. Hard to have a non-shouting conversation. They need to put something soft on the walls to absorb some of the echo. Leadbelly is a good spot but this was the first kind of "meh" visit. We'll be back and hope for better.
