The Block Bistro And Grill

I can 't say enough great things about our experience. I 'm a huge Great Food Truck Race fan and I loved these guys on the show. I saw they were from my home town, so I knew I had to give them a try when I came to visit. I 'm in town this weekend for a funeral, unfortunately, but this was a perfect chance to check them out! My cousin and I headed in and were seated immediately. We asked for some recommendations and made our decisions. What really stood out was the service. The co owner (Mark, I believe) checked on us repeatedly. He made sure drinks were topped off, that we were enjoying our food, that the music was the right volume, and so much more. He almost bordered on harassment but in a good way LOL! Then the other owner Terry (who was on the show) arrived. They are total opposites lol! He is full of energy, and when his brother told him I was a fan of the show, he yelled I heard somebody is looking for me! Then he ran to my table and said come on man let 's take a picture! He turned up the music and the party got started. I know I haven 't gotten to the food yet, but the biggest complaint about many restaurants is the service. The Block is the example of what they all should aspire to be! Now, the food was absolutely delicious. The wings are smoked so it gives them a great flavor beneath the sauce. Some were better than others though, so here 's my ratings: Chicken Philly sandwich 4.5 out of 5Thai chilly wings 5 out of 5Garlic Parmesan wings 4.5 out of 5 (could have used a touch more garlic)BBQ wings 4.5 out of 5 (a little too sweet)Jerk wings 3.5 out of 5 pretty good but could have used a touch more heat, less sweetness, and actually a little less sauce. They were coveredBread pudding 4.5 out of 5 great flavor, loved the texture of the nuts and edges of the bread pudding. It was a lot of the Grand Marnier sauce, which overpowered the middle bites. Once I scraped some off and spread it to the edges it was perfect. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I 've had in a long time. Great food and amazing service! If you 're in town, I highly recommend you check them out!

We made a reservation a month prior to going for an event we were in town for and they had the whole place booked and kicked us out and told us that we can’t eat there. I would highly recommend not eating or ordering at this

I would give 0 stars but I can’t so I give it a 1. We made an online reservation for 7 people online and it was confirmed the day of but when we went to go in they had booked the restaurant out for 67 people and said they couldn’t seat us even though we had reserved seats days prior! Terrible service.

I would give a zero, but you gotta be nice in so way so a 1 it is!!!!! We made a reservation for a group of 7, this was done online! We arrive to the restaurant 15 minutes early and a waitress came and opened the door at 5, so we walked in and were told they weren’t open! We explained to them we had made a 7 person reservation days prior and we were told by what seems to be head honcho that they were closed and we couldn’t be served and then ignored by the staff after we ask for take out but they wouldn’t accommodate. And also their reservation for 67 people that they had booked over us, was happening at 6 we were there at 5… So if you want some good food and are refused service here, Giordano’s is an amazing place with great food and an atmosphere where they will seat you!

Very disappointed. I made an online reservation for 7 people weeks in advance because it was during the National FFA convention. I received multiple confirmation emails. When we arrived (5pm) we were told they were closed because another group booked the whole restaurant for 6pm. We said we had a reservation. No apology, just them saying that time should have been blocked off and walking away! I asked another employee if we could at least get take out and was still told no! After going elsewhere to eat, we walked back past and the restaurant was still completely empty at 6:40 pm. Again very disappointed that they did not honor the reservation or try to make their mistake right in any way! Only giving one star because it is required.
