For my date and I, it took just over 12 minutes after being seated to be seen by a server (they did seat us behind a big wall, so that could have played a part). We were probably only checked in on 3 times total by our server in the 1 hour we were there, and we sat there with empty plates waiting to ask for the bill for over 15 minutes as well. I ordered the brisket sandwich and it had some good flavour, but with one bite the entire meat is pulled right out of the bun. My girlfriend ordered the GF bun for the burger, and they might be the worst ones we've tried (she ate it open faced after and the burger itself was good). The buns crumbled right away and really dried out your mouth. I know it's never a great option compared to real buns, but we do know there are much better ones out there. Looking around though, the other food options did look very good! This place really could be a great after work place, and hopefully this was just a hiccup for them, mostly on the service side. I'll come back and try some other food again, but maybe sit at the bar.

Brisket sandwiches is very juicy and delicious, but i do not recommend the fries with it as they were too salty for me.No to-go cups for coffee.

No happy hour deal when one gets 5 for 15.00, regular menu),or 3 for 9.00. I guess that is one reason why Earl's and Cactus Club in same location were busy and Met was ....not busy at all.
