It is not always going to be positive (Genghis)

 Seriously, I did not start doing this to rip restaurants and say negative things about places.

I started this up because I like food (obviously) and I eat out a a lot (obviously) and I love to write, so I thought this may work out.

I know that restaurants are struggling with finding people that want to work right now but I just hate that excuse. It seems like everywhere has raised prices, but yet the food and service is not as good as it was. If you raise prices (like you have) everything has to be better.

So that is my starting rant. 

The review I am doing today is on my Friday night experience at the Genghis Grill in Macon. We had a party of four and arrived at 7:00 p.m

Genghis was not crowded at all , which seemed odd for a Friday night, and we chose our seats and were greeted fairly fast. That is where the problem began. One of the people in the group (I will call her Sally just for the hell of it) asked for a glass of wine and they did not have what she asked for. She asked for another type and they did not have that either. The she asked for anything white and they were able to find a glass of white wine, although it wasn't what she wanted. They also did not have un-sweet tea.

I find this already 100 percent totally unacceptable when they have a Publix and a liquor store right next door. How do you go into a Friday night with barely no white wine at all and no un-sweet tea.

At this point in time we were kind of looking at each other and laughing but we decided to move on . Genghis is a place where you buy a bowl and then you fill it up with different types of meet and vegetables, and you also have options of what to flavor it with. I feel like its a pretty cool way to eat myself, because if you like tons of meat and a few vegetables you can do that, or if you are like my wife it is mostly vegetable with a bit of steak.

So we all four get up to the line and me and the other guy (I will call him Clarence)are looking at the meats and we realize that they have no steak on the line. Whattttt ?? Clarence asked them about it and I guess it was the manager that took the empty bowl and left to get more steak. So , we are sitting there waiting for our main meat and four or five people came to the line and we kind of had to stand there waiting. But guess what , who doesn't want steak at a place like this.

How can you not have steak ?  I guess the same way you can't have un-sweet tea or basic wine.

So we all waited about 10 minutes for steak to appear and we went on our merry way and got our food cooked and the meal was okay. Remember, I said Okay, nothing great about it. I was very careful as was my wife, not to put anything spicy on the food, but the food still came cooked as spicy. But it was edible.

So Sally decided to ask for another glass of wine and my wife decided she would like one too. "I am sorry we are all out of white wine. You got the last glass. Whatttttt???

UNACCEPTABLE on a Friday night at a bar and grill not to have white wine. I have watched enough episodes of Bar Rescue to know that.

So lets talk about price. The large bowl runs right at 20 dollars, and all four of us agreed that this is over-priced . The problem is nobody would complain about the prices if the service and food was excellent. I mean this is a Mongolian Barbecue type of place, probably the only one in Macon  and they should be killing it. Instead it is probably struggling to stay open. They have the concept to be successful. 

I will say that the service was adequate and the young lady tried to make things work. But she was in a no-win situation.

So, Genghis< get serious here and have un-swweet tea and have white wine and have steak on the bar all the time and I will come back and visit. Until then it is a big fat no
