Hit and Miss...

Have been here for lunch a few times with work buddies, don't expect much and am and never disappointed. Dinner though, I expect a lot more. The food was very good, from the penne to the halibut to the fajitas, they were all hot, tasty and well presented. I would go back for the food. The service, well, there seem to be a lot of servers around but they are all over the place. They tire me out watching them run around and seemingly not get anything done. Lots of tables had their hand up trying to flag someone down. A serious need of organization. Yes, I would go back, the food was quite good.

A definite yes!

Though typically busy, this place is worth making the reservation for! A tightly packed atmosphere, this restaurant offers the comfortable food in a bustling restaurant. Service great, food quality great. Bonus on the cute bus boys!

My friends visiting us from Paris wanted to go in...

My friends visiting us from Paris wanted to go in a good restaurant. I was suggested Blue Cactus. We went there with my girlfriend and friends at around 9.00pm at night. The following day, 3 of us were sick, sharing our restrooms! I still remember, most of the food had been warmed up in the microwave (hot outside and cold inside). We all had chicken (was this chicken!?). The one not being sick had ordered frecnh fries and a burger. Two days later, we went back to talk to the management. The Manager obviously didn't care. Since then, I never went there and will never go back! When someone asks me about a restaurant, I tell them anywhere but this one!

Will be back!

I loved this place! They sat us down right away. The service was fast and efficient and the food was excellent! Portion sizes are fantastic, just the right size. The waitress was very attentive, which I know is hard when you have a lot of tables. I will certainly go back.

It's a cool hangout place. I love the banana bailey colada. My boyfriend and I came in looking for a table to sit and eat. There was going to be a 20 minute wait and were like OK we'll wait at the bar. We ordered drinks from there and nobody came to get us for a table and we saw many getting cleared. I went there for a friends' party and that was my first time there, the service for the party was quick and excellent. I wouldn't mind having a dinner party there. I tcan get pricey though!!
