I am not sure what it is about Lake Martin but I can not seem to find anything on this lake. I drove around for roughly two hours trying to find this place (in the rain I might add). While that is not their fault, I was beyond the point of hungry by the time I showed up.<\/p>\n

Ambiance:<\/strong>
Crazy, crazy! Niffer’s is going for the wacky crazy pieces of flair look that Applebee’s, TGIF’s, and others do so well. Niffer’s also did a great job at this. Acoustics in the building carried noise a bit too well as there was what I would deem an “average” crowd yet it sounded like I was in a football stadium.<\/p>\n

Menu\/Price:<\/strong>
A fun designed menu put me back in positive spirits, only problem is there was so many good things to choose from. Pricing wise you could pay as little as $4.95 all the way up to $23. They had pizza, burgers and pasta you could customize, along with what was probably very popular dishes. When I asked about a few my waiter arranged it so I could look at the dishes prior to them being served. This was kinda cool, but also at the same time creepy for the person getting the dish. I began to wonder if my dish was shared in this same fashion prior to it arriving.<\/p>\n

Meal:<\/strong>
Chips we’re complementary tonight, normally they cost but apparently I choose the right night as chips we’re free. In addition to being free, they were also very good and freshly made. When my el Nifferito arrived, I was a bit let down in the size. Here is the verbatim menu description: “Warm flour tortilla stuffed with fresh grilled chicken,saut\u00e9ed mushrooms, peppers, onions and cheddar jack cheese. Topped off with homemade white cheese sauce, salsa and sour cream.<\/i>” It was everything described but somewhat lacking in portion I thought. It was a bit spicier than I anticipated but thats ok because I like spicy meals.<\/p>\n

Service:<\/strong>
Waiter was friendly but forgetful. I waited for a while for him to return with my refill of Diet Coke, and somehow when he did remember I had Mr Pibb. I sighed and drank it until I started thinking about the dish viewing thing again, and wondered who’s soda was I drinking. Mr Waiter, also gave me the bill but then came back and said he forgot to ring in the drink (which he did forget), but he rang in two drinks. I looked on the menu to see if refill’s we’re free or not, but not wanting to fight it (since it was going to be reimbursed anyway) I paid for it.<\/p>\n

Overall:<\/strong>
Probably would have gotten a better grade if I had found the place sooner, my el Nifferito would have been a bit larger and if my waiter was not wet behind the ears. If I’m in the area I’ll visit again, at least for the chips since they were really good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
