Chikie's & Pete's ... still a great sports bar! – At Chickie's & Pete's, expect crowds, especially on game days. Weekends and evenings can also be very crowded. so there may be a wait. Plan to arrive early. With these kind of crowds, why the negative reviews? This is a neighborhood crab house & sports bar, blue collar, not the Four Season's on the parkway. Yes Pete, it is a lot more fun to eat in a bar than to drink in a restaurant! Maybe you have to be a sports fan to enjoy it here. I agree that drink prices are a little hi... read more
Not as good as the hype – Chickies used to be good years ago, however I usually only go there for drinks now, The last few times I went there the crabs were cold and full of salt. I will say their Mussels in red are the best I ever had, I always get them, good to soak up the bread. Then Menu is very limited to what you can get, The pizza is actually pretty good.
WATERED DOWN DRINKS – Been here numerous times . . . mostly with friend and a lot of beers . . . Then I was there but not in the mood for beer . . . ordered Martinis . . . then I watched carefully and what I saw made me unhappy! So I stopped ordering Martini's Cocktails and just ordered GG straight . . . what a difference! If it's a cocktail which has several blends watch because they SHORT YOU on the good stuff and full you with the mixer.
Maybe it's a tad overpriced. Maybe some of the waitresses haven't yet perfected the skill of multi-tasking. But the mix of seafood, beer, and good company is all that really matters at a place like this. If you want quick service, go to Red Lobster. If you want to go somewhere exciting with really good food and a good atmosphere, go to Chickie & Petes.
WORST. SERVICE. EVER. – Wow- really? what's with all the hype- I have been to all Chickie n Petes locations and asside from the occasional good service at Robbins...I always have terrible service!! The waitress takes your order about 20 minutes after you are seated (god forbid 1 person in your party is stuck at the light you need to wait for them to be seated..what a joke!), then NEVER returns! When eating thoes salty crab fries you need something to drink to wash it down...I sucked on an ice cube for a half an hour! the are... read more
Servers: Anywhere But Here – As a former server I can say that you are right in your assumptions. There are 3 UNPAID days of training. The first day I was there they had me follow around "the best" server they had there. She pawned me on to her tables, and basically sat back and relaxed. After running around like an idiot, I received absolutely no tips or pay for working 10 hours. Let me say this again, the "training" is UNPAID. Then they charged me $50 for the uniform and $35 for shoes. I was racking up a tab, before I even... read more
worst service ever – The worst service I've ever had, I have been there 2 times and won't ever go back. the foods not great but ok. If you want to feel like the waiter is doing you a favor, this is the place to go. The bar-tender named Dave is the rudest ever he shouldn't work there if he does not know how to use the people skill, acts as if he's doing you a favor when serving. It's a shame when people aren't happy with their job and take it out on the patrons. This place needs a class on how to treat their guests.
Mediocre Seafood and Bad Service – I have been several times and each time was not a good experience. The food is nothing to talk about and the service is even worse. I am a person of color and not once have I seen another person serving, bartending or hosting and forget managing. I was there this past Saturday and to my surprise they had employed a person of color to work as the bathroom attendant. Is that all we are fit to do in this establishment? I have not been in the kitchen but maybe they have some in the back too. I ... read more
Always a good time – Great place to hang out with friends. I enjoy the various crab dishes they offer. Nice selection of beers to wash down your meal. High energy atmosphere is perfect for watching the big game. Only problem is the crowds on the week ends. Get there early tp avoid the wait.
