Quick Bite Summary (Uno Chicago Grill, Vestal, NY)

Came in yesterday for a quick app and a drink at the bar. The good- the prickly pear margaritas were great! We also had the Uno Exotico margaritas and these were very sour, but still good (I imagine the strawberry version is probably better, but the idea of sour sounded better and did not disappoint).

The bad- the appetizer I ordered was chicken tenders with Fireball Whiskey BBQ sauce. First of all, these things cost $11, and I got FIVE little baby tenders that definitely come pre-packaged in a box. I know you try to turn a decent profit on apps and they have a good bit of the profit margin built into them, but someone could buy five pounds of chicken fresh and make these tenders for the same price. That's obscene, especially since they clearly were not breaded and made in-house and instead came from a box.

Worse still- Not only was the price point of the tenders obscene, but the sauce I ordered came brushed onto them. BRUSHED! You couldn't even spare a small dipping cup of sauce on the side for chicken tenders, a food whose very purpose is to be dipped into a sauce? Brushing sauce on them of course caused wholesale parts of the chicken tenders to be devoid of any sauce, so they just tasted like frozen breading. The sauce was good, too, but come on. Brushed onto chicken tenders? I have never been to a restaurant that doesn't serve a dipping sauce on the side for chicken tenders.

The bar was also extremely sticky as soon as we sat down. I had to be careful not to touch anything on the bar top because my hands would then stick to it.

I don't mind Uno for a drink, and the bartender Olivia was very nice and prompt with our drink orders, but I'll never eat food at the Uno again. This is not the first time I've been disappointed by your food, but it will be the last.
