glad to hear it used to be good!!

by gnitz1

Someone told me that this was a great restarant. The word there being "used to"!!! The food was ok, service poor, restrooms disgusting. I did get some brown lettuce with one tomato slice for 3.70. The atmosphere leaves alot to be desired. Would not bother to ever go back.

  • Pros: Food Good
  • Cons: Small portions and bad service
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Used to be great place, gone downhill

by Katmar

Babalu used to be a very good diner type restaurant. They recently renovated and in my opinion, the place has really gone downhill. Yes, the former building was old and kind of run down, but that is what gave it atmosphere. The renovated building is much more attractive, howvere for some reason, the food and service now suffer. The last time I went there, we waited forever to get waited on. When someone finally did come over, she was not too bright or very friendly. I wanted to order wings, which has always been one of their most advertised specialties. I was told they were out of wings. It took a very long time to get our food, which was only OK as opposed to before the renovation, when the food was quite good. It also took a long time to get our check when we were done. I rarely do this, but I left a very small (under 10%) tip. I am not sure if we'll go back or not, since their are a lot of other good restaurant choices near by. I would have given this a 1 for my last experience. I only gave it a 2 becuase it used to be good.

  • Pros: good menu variety
  • Cons: Terrible service
