If service had been better, I would have given them a solid 4. Mike, our waiter, was busy leaning on a counter talking with another server, and waited too long to take our order. Then after the food was delivered he disappeared. My husband wanted more water during the meal but Mike was no where to be found. Finally, we had to signal another server that we needed our check and were ready to leave. She boxed the leftovers and took care of the check. As we were leaving Mike showed up and thanked us....too little too late. Food was good, but nothing exceptional.

Food was terrible. Potato skins were so hard and burnt you couldn't cut through them with a fork and could only eat the potato, not the skin. They we're definitely not freshly made. Crab cake sandwich smelled terrible and fishy and sour almost, took one small bite and it was inedible, not sure if it was bad crab or mixed with something else, also was very mushy, like tuna fish. Server did not take it off the bill. When I asked to see a manager, he instead said he'd get me a free dessert. Also was annoyed I wanted friend mushrooms, which were on the menu as part of a friend munchie basket which came with clan strips, fries, etc and was told that I had to order the entire basket of friend food, couldn't have just mushrooms. Ber wasn't delivered, had to remind server. Asked for more napkins and never received. Just terrible meal out and was sorely disappointed.

The decor seemed dated. We normally eat on the deck in the summer. We had the crab dip bowl. It was bland and the bowl was not crispy. The salad would have been better with mixed green rather then shredded iceburg. My prime rib was delicious but a little overcooked. My GF had the rib, chicken, shrimp combo. The ribs were excellent fall off the bone. The fried shrimp had zero flavor.

My entrée, one of the evening's features, was a chicken breast, pounded thin & encrusted with almonds and parmesan. It was about 5 1/2" in diameter and was served with my choice of a vegetable-California blend. The vegetables were overcooked enough that the colors were washed out and for $15.95, the chicken breast should have been much larger and/or thicker and included a potato of some sort. Extremely disappointed. The hostess did come over to us and asked how things were and when I told her I was disappointed in the size of the chicken, she said absolutely nothing and walked away. Not the usual food or the service we get at Hennigan's. Have eaten and bowled with the Blough family many times over the years, but never had an experience like that. On a good note, our server, Brandyn, was excellent and we ALWAYS have a good experience with him. My husband had chili and mozzarella sticks and they were fine. Unfortunately, this was a total waste of our Restaurant.com certificate.
