The family had dinner there last night. I took a chance and ordered the tomahawk pork chop, which is something I would not usually get. Normally I would have stayed with the tried and true burger and fries. The pork chop was awsome. It was extremely tender and perfectly cooked and the sauce was fantastic. I will be making the 279 a regular staple in our list of good places to eat.

Worst set of wait staff / bartenders I have ever encountered. Including what I was told is the manager. Will ignore you for 20 mins or more and when they finally acknowledge you its with an eye roll or face of disgust. Only reason myself and friends were there was to see a local band we follow. Took over a half hour while seated at the bar to even pay my tab. Never again. 3 bartenders are too busy arguing amonst themselves to even care about about customers.

I've known about 279 for years and finally stopped. Everything we had (Cajun wings, French Onion soup, lobster bisque, ham, potato salad) were excellent and the portions were ample. Can't wait to go back to try their dinner menu.
As for the 3 stars for atmosphere, I was there for the food, so I choose the middle of the road option. Bonus points for the beautifully decorated ladies room!

This place has gone downhill! The manager is snub and condescending! I was there last Wednesday. I enjoy trivia night(that part is excellent). However, I ordered my usual(seared tuna) and it was not even seared, completely raw. I asked to have it prepared like order and I was belittled, subjugated to condescending remarks, the waitress even mistreated me for asking! The manager made me feel completely unwelcomed! Stay clear of this Bar and Grill and especially if you are ethnically different!!
