Disappointed

OK first let me say that when my party of 6 FINALLY got our food we were so tired of waiting that we were too sleepy too eat. The chicken breast was dry and served with a side of barbecue sauce, which still didn't help out. I have to say that the smoked wings and the ribs were AWESOME. We RSVP'D and the hostess sat us as soon as we walked in, which was about 7pm. The waiter took our order around 7:15 and we finally got our food at 8:20. They left off some of our side dishes and we asked if we can replace it with dessert and the watiter said yes, but it will take a long time to get it out to us because they have to bake it...WOW!! That is sad! We asked the waiter if we can have an additional set of silverware because one of my friends didn'[t have silverware at her table, well the watier never brung our silverware. We had to ask another waiter. After we ate, the waiter brung our bill and and put the wrong amounts on our cards...That took another 20 minutes to straighten out. The waiter acted as if it was our faults instead of his and had a major atttude with us. Michons has the potential to be dynamic restaurant, the ambience, the music, the drinks are good, and the smoked meats are very good. But, the owner needs to make their employees take a customer service training class for about 1 week.
- Pros: smoked meats and the drinks
- Cons: lousy/poor customer service

I had been to Michon's before they moved to their new location and experienced great music, even greater food, but poor customer service. Three of my friends and I went last weekend and sat at the bar due to the table seating wait time being over 45 mins. The bartenders were very nice and worked well together. The bartender that served us was very bubbly and sweet. She suggested several drinks that we had never tried before but really enjoyed. She stated she had only been working there for a few months but was knowledgeable when we asked her about the company and the food. We had a great time and will definitely return!
- Pros: Bartenders!
- Cons: Excessive wait times

The food is good enough that you'll put up with the terrible service.

I read the reviews on here and it seemed like I'd be ok for a weekday To Go lunch. You don't need much service for a To Go order right? So I ordered the chopped pork sandwich, potato salad, peach cobbler and a drink and sat down to wait. I saw them mess up 2 To Go orders while I was waiting, so I checked mine when the guy brought it out. I said, "There's no sauce in here." He told me that extra sauce was $0.50 but that there was some already on the sandwich. Ok, most BBQ places give you a cup of sauce and let you put as much as you want when you are ready to eat it, and so it dosn't get soggy. It turns out I didn't have to worry about that. Because either the kid lied about putting sauce on the sandwich, or they've invented a clear, tasteless BBQ sauce. Even dry as it was, the sandwich was good. I'd have glady paid an extra $0.50 to have that "extra" sauce, had I known that it doesn't come with any. If you order out, MAKE SURE TO GET SAUCE. Also, they put a pickle on the outside of the bun but under the wrapper. So the top of the bun was soggy, but not too bad, as long as you don't hate pickles. It just seems like they haven't thought a lot of their standard practices through very well. They can definitely cook BBQ, now if they can just figure out how to run a restaurant, they'll be rich.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Service and getting nickle and dimed to death. Add a buck to the sandwich and give the sauce away already.
