The Republic Kitchen

Popped in for an early dinner on Friday, September 8th...about 5pm. The parking lot was full so I thought they'd be packed but it was wide open. Got a booth immediately. We came here after having a beverage at elsewhere. Wanted a really good burger and was not disappointed.Full bar, varied menu, and decent atmosphere.It took a few minutes for someone to take our drink order but that gave my wife and I a chance to settle in. Dove straight into a dinner order with the Big Tex Burger and Buffalo Chicken Salad.

Took my younger son for dinner at this local place; front door service was quicker than expected which should have been the clue to things to come. For dinner service, the restaurant was very empty. Waitress was attentive but not confident in the food quality when asked what she recommended; Brussels sprout appetizer my son ordered was so undercooked a steak knife couldn’t cut through the stalk; entrees came out-I had to ask the waitress if this was the adult portioned catfish (4 bite-sized pieces) and a mound of over cooked fries (if you were blindfolded you wouldn’t know they were fries); shrimp scampi was lame and tasteless until the last bite where all the spices were hidden; overheard o...

Had high hope's based on Googles images but fell flat when we got our food. Positives were the atmosphere, good place to watch sports but if your going to cater to men your portion size had to match. Service was great and good fries. I had the fried chicken sandwich but it was tiny. The bun and chicken was cold and it fell apart half way through.Our burgers were also just average, our kids fries were cold. Very disappointed since we live 5 minutes away.

Very average food for the price. I understand there isn't much out that way (Leander), but the average plate with a side salad substitute was over $17.00. For sandwiches. I'll give it another shot, but at those prices you expect good food quality. Hopefully Waterloo comes out this way soon! Good example of matching price with quality.

The street corn guacamole and chips was the highlight for sure, so good!
