The Cottage in Dudley

Swift pint, flat beer, dull atmosphere

I think the Cottage Inn Kingswinford has recently changed hands and the food has gone really downhill. This was very evident by the fact that this pub, where you previously struggled to get a table for Sunday lunch was empty. I wish we had read the mood and noted that change before ordering a carvery. We have been many times and had always had an excellent carvery before but yesterday, the meat was tough, vegetables virtually raw and the whole meal was generally sub standard. The service at the carvery was also very slow and the staff generally seemed disinterested. Whoever is now running this pub take note that people are no longer returning and word of mouth will spread fast. We won’t be returning either!

Fantastic breakfast staff friendly very good price will go again you got to try the breakfast cooked by Julie well worth a visit all fresh cooked

Great food had here, breakfast is great and Sunday dinners very good too.

Do not bother to get a carvery from here. This is my second absolutely terrible experience using this restaurant. Won’t be giving them the benefit of the doubt again. Truly a terrible business to deal with and even worse to eat their food!

Service absolutely awful food cold 🥶 we will never use it again. Very disappointed to say the least. Whilst eating my sister arrived she had the carvery also complained about the food cold and not good 😐

Sorry for the 2* as the food & service was good but the reason will become apparent. My best friend & l went for a meal today as l used to work there 30yrs ago & was intrigued to see it again. The first thing we noticed was the radiators weren't on & it was cold so we left our coats on, perhaps a problem with the heating or trying to save on the bills. We chose our meals 2 for £18, & plenty to chose from on the menus. We ordered our food which arrived quickly & was well presented & looked delicious. The staff were really nice. What wasn't so nice was the flies!!!! They were crawling on the cutlery & on the table. After finishing our meals l visited the toilets. OMG. The flies were everywhere. There was a single flystrip by the sink which obviously wasn't enough. Why didn't someone spray the place??? The floors & toilets weren't clean either & the flies were crawling in the bowl & on the frame which was obviously there to help the more elderly & disabled patrons. I just hope the flies in the toilet weren't the ones crawling on the cutlery in the dining area. So sad to see an otherwise welcoming pub going down hill. Sorry, we won't be eating there again.

Your everyday local pub. Went to try the Sunday carvery as had seen good reviews. Choice of 4 meats, lots of vegetables and lovely gravy. Food was good but not sure if I would go back.

Ordered a carvery and a chicken balti for delivery through uber today. The portion sizes and food were fantastic. The hot made chips were beautiful & I must admit the packaging is fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Nice little pub goo food and beer. Just needs a spruce up.

Is a lovely pub but my steak was tough.

Im not one for leaving reviews but if I could give Zero stars I would! Really dissapointed with food standards but most of all the way I was treated by staff. I ordered for the first time from the cottage Kingswinford, I ordered a Carvey for 3 people and paid £36.. when it arrived as I took it out the bag the boxes it came in had gone all soggy so as I lifted box out of bag all the dinner fell through the bottom and onto the floor and the other boxes had gone the same. I called the cottage straight away to explain and they said nothing they could do and to contact uber ( this was not a driver issue in my eyes and uber didn't reply) They finally said the manager wasn't available and took my number to call me back...2 hrs later ( and no lunch! ) no call so I called again , explained again to another member of staff and was told someone would call me back when she had spoke to manager.Another 2 hrs later still no call so I called again and was spoke to really rudely by a different member of staff who again said basically not there problem and there was no supervisor or manager i could speak to after leaving me on hold then coming back and saying he was on his own and no one else there for me to talk to .By this time I was really upset and frustrated as £36 is a lot of money to end up on floor and know one wanted to help me. Very dissapointed by the way I was treated by one of mine and my families local pubs.

Not impressed at all but hubby did enjoy his cottage pie, I had a small jacket with tuna and a small salad ! Loads of lettuce , one slice of cucumber and a piece of tomato with 2 small rings of onion, I left my mug of coffee, it was filled right to the very top , in a dirty mug and very strong and bitter coffee. Sorry not for me , sorry , we will not be returning.

Need to learn how to serve in the right way and food is not nice mine was cold when I said something they did not like it won’t go back

Great value for money. The homemade chips were amazing. The only fault was that our steaks were meant to be medium but done slightly over.. but still tasted great. Would defo go back again.

Absolute nightmare, never again we spent £41 and we received only 3/4 of our delivered order!! Tried calling 47 times over a day and half and they never answered the phone, it rings that long the call cancels itself, taken my money and no way if rectifying it!! I’d stay well clear and order from elsewhere

Wonderful country style pub in Kingswinford village. Food first class, beers definitely worth good beer guide. Outside plants look great too, now Manager changed pub is improving greatly

Old style pub. Husband had the famed cottage pie and reported that it was excellent. Generous portion, served with chips and peas. Good quality meat and gravy, generous topping of cheese. Chilli with rice, was decent as well. Reasonable prices for what was served - makes a change from overpriced meals offered in so many places now.

Friendly, excellent food, and excellent service. Love the dog availability. Recommend highly.

Best breakfast in kford !!! Easily the best runny egg I’ve ever had 😍😍 Manager is lovely too !! Great place to go !!!!!!!

Ordered a carvery and whilst it looked promising it tasted appalling. The mash tasted like it was made with gone of milk, The beef was dry and hard to cut and the veg had a strange gone off sour taste. Feeling sick just at the thought of it, 24 hours later I’ve still not got my appetite back. Please taste the food before serving. Or serve fresh. Edit: After looking through other reviews, i noticed one lady that pointed out they only do carvery’s on a Sunday now. Having ordered the carvery on a Wednesday im assuming that was why the food tasted as if it had gone off. 🤢

One of my favourite local places for food. Had a lovely breakfast today for 1st time: literally could not have been more welcoming- particularly to my dog who was very spoiled! Lovely Sunday carvery here too and the best homemade chips! Highly recommend.

Excellent service. Extremely friendly and a cosy atmosphere. Were very helpful as we had a vegetarian and a vegan with us. The vegetarian lasagna and the vegan masala curry were absolutely delicious; the masala meal was one of the best vegan ones I have tried. I will definitely be returning again with more vegans to try the curry. Thank you. I have included a photo but because of the naan bread you cannot see that it also came with rice.

I live in Birmingham, so I went to kingswinford,to dog and cat sitting, and I went into the cottage inn, the staff are very helpful and friendly, I will definitely go back,

We stayed at this place first time .very clean .good for the price .staff nice .will stay again

Very friendly pub and great food. Child friendly aswell

England final night ******************** Drinks good Free cobs and Pizza lovely! Very good overall 🎯👍

Mid day visit food still very good and pub was quiet as it was a Thursday x

Superb pub food and well worth a visit. Good selection of ales and friendly staff.

Best Sunday dinner by far. Staff are lovely as well. I recommend.

Lauren was really helpful - really good customer service

Came in for lunch today and there was a lovely atmosphere. Lady behind the bar was attentive and lovely. Ordered cajun chicken and gammon for my partner and I. Food arrived and it was so lovely. My cajun chicken was delicious. The homemade chips are simply the best! Lovely to have such variety with salad and veg on the plate. The menu is great. Would hugely recommend the food. Fair price too! Thank you

Food good, service good, could do with updating the surroundings

Would highly recommend the Cottage for the twice weekly pub quiz hosted by the brilliant quizmaster Russ Johnson.

Havent been my apologies for one star

We ordered from Uber eats for the first time today using the cottage inn. Firstly , the delivery guy was polite and friendly. The jacket potato and tuna was ok...but the steak meal was another story. The steak was a reasonable cut and not tough, sadly it was well done and not medium. The chips were cremated and were really poor. The onion rings very dark brown but not quite as bad as the chips. The meal was supposed to come with garden peas... Nope , no peas. All in all, very disappointing.

Disgusting I ordered 2 carverys with trimming plus paid extra for extra meat one came with beef which you could pull apart never mind chew eat the other was turkey and beef no beef and 2 end piece of dry bits missing some veg and no Yorkshire pudding rang them didn't want to know said had the same joint on and no complaints all day .I'm a chef myself and I wouldn't have served it to my clients plus holding food only lasts 2 hours so obviously don't not hygiene reg

Visited with family for a Sunday carvery. Food was very nice. Service was good. Will visit again

Stopped here after read some good reviews so was looking forward to some tasty home cooked food, but very disappointed in menu, asked what fish it was they said it was cod, but it was Pollock and batter was way over done, chips well and truly over done looked like they have cooked four or five times. Yes I do know what I am talking about I have done catering for many years in the army if I had severed my meal up to the troops I would have been in a lot of trouble. Will never under any circumstances eat here again. Drink yes eat no.

Definately the worst food I have had the misfortune to try. The chips must have been reheared 3 or 4 times they were so rubbery as was the meat and gravy in the pie. The vegetables were reportedly carrotts but did not look, feel or taste like any veg I've ever haf!

Nice food, lovely pint of golden glow, nice atmosphere with friendly staff. Will definitely visit again very enjoyable afternoon/evening.

Went for Sunday Carvery Lunch on 28th April When we arrived, we were explained to that they had been extremely busy beforehand - and that they were in the process of refilling the Carvery with fresh food. This was fine by us, as we are more than prepared to wait for fresh, hot food - but there was another table by us that kicked up such a fuss they actually reduced a member of staff to tears. The staff were very polite, friendly and professional. Onto the food… I had Beef, and my partner had Turkey. The beef was lovely and tender, the fresh vegetables were tasty - especially the Carrots which had been honey roasted! The gravy is to die for. Honestly I could drink it 🤣 The last time we came, a few months ago, we noticed the decor was a little tired - but it has since been freshened and brightened up.

Appalling service, staff obviously in need of retaining because they seemed to not know anything about what the job intails. Food was woeful at best( what was left), would be a idea if there wasn't enough food,then to pay customers a courtesy by informing that to there wasn't much that didn't warrant charging for. Will not be returning.😡

Both My Wife and I stopped at The Cottage for an Impromptu Wedding Anniversary meal on a Wednesday lunchtime. My wife opted for the BBQ Hunters Chicken with Peas, chips, and Fresh Salad, and I opted for the Double Dipped Cajun Chicken with Peas, chips and crisp Fresh Salad with added Peppers. Served in a very timely manner the food was piping hot and plentiful. Both meals were succulent and extremely tasty. Staff were courteous and polite We opted for Chocolate Fudge Cake and ice cream and Sticky Toffee Pudding and Custard for afters. And the whole meal came in UNDER £30.00 Amazing Place Amazing Food Well done to you all

Uber order. Turkey carvery. Roast potatoes, old, burnt, no potato inside they were very old, felt like chewing hard rubber. carrots sent but not ordered. Turkey spot on, food was hot

Lunch is reasonable with plenty of menu choice and my grandchildren ate for a £1...over the school holiday break.

Lovely freshly cooked Sunday breakfast. Staff really friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

Food excellent value for money, only got 3 stars for service and atmosphere as they forgot my chips and it was quiet, but overall would go back again

Sunday lunch and pudding fabulous ,great place brilliant prices thank you to all the staff ,we had a fantastic time x

Visited on Saturday 23rd March. Staff were attentive, extremely friendly and welcoming. I don’t drink beer, but my husband was more than impressed with the selection of Ale they had on offer - he ended up having Bass, which he said was an excellent pint. On to the food - I had Cottage Pie, and he had Mixed Grill. The Cottage Pie was homemade, and a fantastic portion! My husband thoroughly enjoyed his Mixed Grill, he nearly eat the plate 🤣. The homemade chips were to die for Will definitely be paying another visit.

Great food, plenty of chips, big portions, friendly atmosphere, value for money, recommend Cottage pie and mixed grill

We went for a carvery last Sunday. The food was not very warm and dry. Meat was tough hard to cut and chew. Vegetables were not cooked and stalks left on. 3 weeks ago I nearly choked on a piece of beef. We are not going there again. Not recommended. Staff are ok.

Great pub. Lovely food, lovely variety of beers and friendly and attentive staff.

I went here for a carvery with the family for Mothers day .The staff were great , very friendly & welcoming , the atmosphere was good, I enjoyed the music playing quietly in the background. We all had the carvery , it isn't self service, they ask you what you want. There was an excellent choice of meat and veg and there was a lot of food on the plate, you don't really need self service . All the food was great besides the cauliflower cheese, I think the chef needs to taste it themselves before giving it to customers to see if its something he would eat . I had Bread and Butter pudding after my lunch, I would highly recommend it , it was beautiful with plenty of custard. I had two cups of tea while I was there, I had to send the second cup back the cup was quite dirty, they changed it without a fuss. We were sat by the entrance as you walk in from the carpark, so we could see everyone running up and down the stairs, how those girls do that day in day out is beyond me , they must be as fit as a fiddle, I would imagine there's been a few falls with the kitchen being upstairs. It makes the entrance way very busy and I'd say quite a health & safety risk for customers and the staff -it felt a bit like a train station with people coming in and out and going up and down the stairs constantly. The pub definately needs a dumb waiter for the meals to save the staff running up and down all the time especially on celebration days like Mothers Day , everyone must be absolutely knackered at the end of the day . I think the price of the carvery was expensive even though I didn't pay for mine , it was almost £16 , which totally surprised me because there is nothing special about the pub that sets it apart from others, it's more expensive then a Toby and this pub is nowhere near the calibre of the Toby.

Staff were great, food was terrible! Cold food but a well done steak. Chef had the audacity to challenge my decision to complain about my “medium rare” steak. Cut it open in front of the server who immediately said it was well done in agreement with me. Won’t be coming back

Food was awful. I am not sure what has happened as we have eaten here many times and the food has been excellent but today, every single meal was awful. Over cooked food. Multiple hairs in multiple dishes. Lack of cutlery. The chef even came back out to argue the well done steak was medium rare. The lasagne was inedible and in my opion, historically it was one of the best dishes. It is a shame because we won't come back here now. The dog has got enough meat for the week with what was left on our plates!

Just had a take out OMG is was disgusting ordered beef but I got pork Yorkshires soggy all was tasteless,hubby had steak and chips which were over cooked and tasted like they had been cooked 4 times DO NOT ORDER from here total waste of money

Ordered from uber, ordered beef got pork ? food was tasteless cauliflower cheese was disgusting, husband had steak and chips, chips were soaked in fat and tasted like they had been cooked numerous times would not order from here again total water of money.

AWFUL!!! I ordered a carvery the beef was very fatty, the broccoli and roast potatoes were still frozen, the Stuffing didn’t even look cooked. Instant mash potato and the cauliflower cheese looked vile and didn’t taste of anything.

Brought the mother in law for lunch , had the lasagna , absolutely beautiful meal !! The best we have had ,,, super friendly fast service , lovely friendly Atmosphere , thanks to the Chef and lovely bar staff 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would rate this a 3 out of 10 when we arrived no one in we had to wait to be served as he was sorting out the fire witch was fine seemed perlite so waited for him to finish and the order was taken after the order was taken we sat down and had to wait again for the second drink so as we was waiting we looked at the menu picked what we what and then asked how long for the second drink we was then told I’ve just but it on and I had orthers to serve hmm bit rube but ok We then got our food witch was very salty not to my taste no one came to ask if all was ok no one at the far to order another drink once we had finished our food the lady came to clear the table but again no is all ok with your food she just picked up our plates and left wouldn’t be coming back

Proper home cooked food 😋 👌 delicious & great portions, most of the mains are around £11. Good alcohol free options, 0% gin, 0% Heineken & a fruit cider. We both had the steak & ale pie, loved it, chunky chips & meaty gravy, can't wait to go back & work my way through the menu 😂

I am absolutely disgusted in the service I have received today, it was my birthday, I rang prior to ask if they did Gluten free gravy and I was told yes just when you pay tell the staff and they will do the gravy for you. I was rang on the morning to ask if I could go upstairs and I said no as I was not steady on my feet nor was my mom. I paid for my carvery and said about gluten free gravy and was told that’s ok I’ll sort it, after 2minutes I fetched my food after bringing it for the table I had staff come and say they hadn’t got gluten free gravy . After not eating my carvery without gravy or mint sauce (ran out) I went to see manager to complain and she went mad at me saying I shouldn’t speak to her staff like that which I didn’t, I was just saying you could of said you hadn’t got none when I paid or even said after I would of had something else. Then her boyfriend started having ago at me saying I shouted speak to her like that, I was so upset being my birthday being spoke to like that !!!! It’s disgusting service !!!!!

Came here for a work trial, which went horribly. I didn’t receive any help or guidance, I was put on all floor jobs by myself. All I can say is the place is unhygienic and the workers are disrespectful. I witnessed the carvery workers spray disinfectant onto the food while joking around and they also pick up dirty cutlery and put it back into the carvery, so be careful eating here. The kitchen is grimy, dirty plates touching fresh meat. Toilets were dirty and flooded, customers complaining repeatedly but being rudely dismissed by workers - the whole pub is ran by teenage girls who don’t know what they’re doing. In the end, they didn’t inform me I didn’t receive the job had to find out from another worker. Very toxic workplace and even worse atmosphere and environment. Also would like to say I posted this review a couple weeks ago but got slandered in a group chat.. how unprofessional. Not only that.. I also got threatened with legal action and violence, this is not defamation, it’s liable and just the truth.

They advertise it as a Cravery but it isn't. The photos that are shown on Google are nothing like what you get. I had pork and turkey,the turkey was dry and not slices more like breadcrumbs. The person who was craving the meat through the rock hard Yorkshire pudding on your plate plus seasoning that wasn't cooked properly. You couldn't help yourself to vegetable you where served them. My husband only had one carrot which was the best part of the meal. Paid £34 for 2 carvery plus 2 drinks. What a waste of money.

Food absolutely amazing here love the place best cavery around !! Staff are so polite and friendly love the girls behind the bar. Highly recommended xx

A very nice Sunday roast in an old type pub with a log fire good beers and friendly staff , Well Done Brad the best young waiter so helpful , the beef pork and turkey is very tasty , the roast potatoes could have been little hotter , its fair to say. this is very good for families and young children are welcome , the car park can get full but there is street parking.

Lovely pub with great, helpful staff. Nice and warm with lit fire. Nice and cosy feel to the place. There were a few things not available on the menu and it appears they only have the carvery on Sundays now which is a shame. We asked for some loaded fries as a starter to share. They didn't have the ones we ordered so we had to swap to another... And instead of coming as a starter they came with our mains, and cold. Mains were ok. I asked to swap vegetables in my order but this was not done. I questioned but no offer to correct. The mixed grill was plentiful with their great home made chips, unfortunately the sausages were horrible. They seemed to have been reheated in a microwave, possibly more than once, couldn't eat them. Now we can't order on just eat from here from our address since a change in the app, we had looked forward to our visit. Shame it was disappointing. Ladies toilet was in a bit of a bad state, one toilet available, one out of order. Toilet seat broken and not fully attached, no sanitary bin, peeling wall coverings with rubbish stuffed into them and no light covering. Needs a bit of TLC.

I ordered from here on Uber eats as I’ve seen it a few times thought I’d give it a try, as you can see Cajun chicken burger is cremated, it was rock hard, no sauce or salad… I also paid extra for cheese and bacon which wasn’t added onto the burger either. Then I come to open the cheese burger loaded fries and the burger had a weird taste to it and there was no gherkins or onions on it, like it had all been thrown together and sent, and to top it all off all stone cold. Heard good things but never again, I would be embarrassed to even send this out if I was a chef.

Got food poisoning from here and have since found out all the food is frozen, all desserts, not homemade at all. Complete lies. REPLY- Hardly a "false" profile but OK if that makes you feel better.

Wasn't very clean and cold dry food....makes sense why then only got a 3 star hygiene rating. Gone down hill

Food was class but the atmosphere wasn’t, screaming kids left and right, kids on a karaoke singing and screaming. Slow service and having to grab peoples attention at the bar to get a pint.

Good food great atmosphere and friendly staff

Not many of these English boozers left !! Great, hot homemade food, just what you want on a rainy miserable day !! Lots of choice and good value for money. The young lady behind the bar was very polite and welcoming.

We've eaten here a few times recently. Lovely home cooked food. The chips are amazing, real home cooked chips! A good selection of real ales. Nice cosy pub and dog friendly which is great!

Friendly local pub, nice atmosphere, always welcoming

The best cottage pie and lasagne we've had since our mother's Really excellent value for money

Awful, 5 of us came for a carvery today, more staff than customers, ordered a beer, a coke and a fruitshoot and somehow that took 3 separate members of staff to make, the food was bland and it took 45 minutes for an ice cream Sunday to arrive whilst all the staff members stood around chatting and vaping behind the carvery deck. Disappointed and won't be returning, customer service was shocking.

I had both a breakfast and a carvery meal today from The Cottage. The carvery was amazing. Fresh vegetables, plenty of meat, nice selection, proper home made feel to this meal. Uber delivered and it was warm, well packed. Fully recommend this, looking forward to a visit to the pub

A party of us went tonight 9th Dec 23 to celebrate Robs birthday. The food was disgusting Fish like water chips cold, lasagna un-eatable. Toilets no paper in ladies, mens flooded. Will not go again. REPLYING TO THE OWNER I complained about the food as soon as I saw the waitress which was less than thev10 minutes you have stipulated. It is very rare I make a complaint but the food was nearly cold when the meal was brought back on the 2nd occasion it was hotter. To say it spoilt Robs birthday is putting it mildly and to put the record straight both my granddaughter and Rob didn't have there food brought to them. In the end when we arrived back at one of the homes food had to be ordered from a take away. I am not sure who made the comment about getting more refunds but as a party it was the minority who's money was refunded not the majority. In fact 2 meals that weren't served and I think 2 that couldn't be eaten.

Baguette meals good value and tasty. We had the beef, pork and turkey. Not very busy for first week of December which was a surprise, as food was nice.

Great food friendly staff and the best home cooked chips ever 😋

Just like to thank Sam and his team for helping to make our daughters 50th birthday surprise party such a success, from the day we popped in his pub to see if we could get a booking he went out of his way to make sure that everything went to plan. All the guest said the food was amazing (thank you Julie) could not ask for more a great time was had by all. Many thanks again Sam and team for making last Saturday night a night to remember can’t recommend you enough brilliant job.

Staff where ok, the place was tired could do with decorating. The food tasted ok but the turkey was hacked instead of carved, so instead of slices of turkey we had lumps instead!! I thought a carvery was that a carvery! Where the meat is served and you help yourself to the potatoes and vegetables. Here it is all plonked on the plate in what can only be described as a mess! Also they put the food on the plate before you can answer if you want it or not. In my opinion not what a carvery should be and won't be going again.

Appears to be going downhill......the beers are stale or tasting very off.......the staff member who served me as family members in, who appear to be their priority over members of the public.....needs to change

Visited there this afternoon with friends food was excellent and the drinks were great great service well done staff

Popped in for lunch midweek, food and ale were OK, not many folks in and place looked a bit tired to me.

I did write a review as not a first great experience with carvery. However positive response from owner has restored confidence. Thanks Sam

What a lovely home cooked Sunday dinner with me not having to cook 🤗 All the staff were lovely and very accommodating as we were awkward and wanted to move table. I was a little devious about going here due to few negative reviews but please ignore… they’re always a Karen. We’re going back and that’s says it all. Ps. My only criticism, more red wine choice especially with lovely food you serve

Fantastic beer and food…. What more do you need..? Well…. a friendly atmosphere, great staff, quick service, plenty of choice in beer and food, and a feeling that you would go back again….. Good news…!! The Cottage has it all. Thanks to all the team.

Lovely home cooked food as usual 👊

Food was awful we all left it. Seats and floors filthy, old & worn. They sat us next to toilets. I am not sure what all the good reviews are eating normally to rate this place as ok. Maybe we had a one off bad meal. ? Never to return. Everyone’s standards are different I guess.

Beautiful pub..amazing food..brilliant service..definitely will be back to choose another meal from your menu.

Dogs runing round barking bloke's vaping at next table while we are eating carvary no mash left had to wait ten minutes for mash husband had to wait for me whitch time his dinner went cold very poor service👎

Nipped in for some breakfast and it was amazing, staff couldn't been more helpful, polite and friendly. Quick service, food was brought out and tasted fresh. Simply amazing. Had a carvery delivered through just eat, and that was simply amazing too. Hats off to the chefs and staff. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!!

No glasses, no cutlery, so drank water. Beer also not good.

Can't fault the food prices have gone up but cannot fault the service one of the few pubs that serves proper home cooked food

I have ordered food from here via Just Eat and it was delicious, I really can't complain about that. So we decided to try the eat in option, what a disappointing experience it was, we were shoved upstairs in the most dirty and dingiest of corners, the carpet was disgusting, I'm sure there must have been a pattern under the filth somewhere. The attitude of some of the staff was appalling very unhelpful and rude about a member of our group. Also I am disabled and when questioned if we could sit downstairs as I struggle to climb stairs, I was told it was upstairs or nothing. We left without ordering it was so bad and will not be returning anytime soon!
