Gigglin' Goat - Boone

We went to the goat yesterday 2/11/2010 for my Mom 's B-day and had the second worst meal I have ever had at a restaurant bested only by the first time we ate there. The service was horrible. It took almost 45 minutes from the time our appetizer arrived to when our meals finally arrived. Only to have every one of them be cold. I ordered the rib eye steak and the outside was burnt black and the inside was stone cold. It also did not have one once of seasoning on it. My potato was cold and rubbery and flavorless. All the rest of the meals were equally bad, meaning cold and flavorless. When we told the waitress she did offer to get the manager, but we were already eating on a gift certificate from our first horrible experience there...so what was the pint we will never be back. This was after giving them a solid 5-6 months to get it together. Our waitress then said and I quote wow, we really need to fire that chef this happen all the time I would save the money and frustration and go to McDonald 's at least they are consistent. Yes, it really is that bad!!!!!

I was there only once and was not impressed. The town did not need another bar, that can do short orders, we needed a good restaurant. The girls I was with and I ordered horderves and I about died when I saw the portions for the price. WOW we will not be back. that is crazy.

My husband I have been here twice and LOVED it both times! We never experienced slow service and the food was fantastic! The second time we went was with our parents and grandparents and kids. We were seated right away and our drink orders were taken immediately. We did not have to wait long after we ordered for our food and there were quite a few customers in the restaurant. We are going back for the third time tonight! Absolutely love the food!!

The first time I visited the Giggling Goat, the service was slow. Since it was newly opened, I understood that the staff was working out the process to be more efficient. I have since eaten there two more times, and each time it is faster and better service. The things I have tried on the menu are delicious and the price is reasonable too. I am thankful that Boone has this new restaurant!

After a long wait, we finally placed our food order, but it felt like we could have taken a nap by the time our meals arrived. The restaurant wasn't even busy! When the food came, the pork ribs were overcooked, dry, and tough. All in all, given the terrible service and everything else, we won't be returning. It was a 40-mile drive for us! Next time, we'll head to La Carrita instead. I've seen other reviews here mentioning the awful service; it’s no surprise!
