Kulas-O’Connell

Hey, seriously folks? I have wanted to try this trendy little establishment for awhile now. I love the layout and the open air feeling and the hanging bike for sure. So last Sunday afternoon we stopped in and grabbed an outside table and waited... and waited... and waited... and waited. My son even stepped up to the bar for service and the bartender told him he'd be back in a minute but that turned into five more. So we stood up to leave and our server appeared. She popped a few menus down and strode off, not to be seen for about 10 more minutes. I'm just getting started here! We ordered a beer or two, which they didn't have. We went down their list of beers and they were out of six - 6!! beers that we wanted to try. You're kidding, right? Nope. So we ultimately ordered something she said they had and she came back a few minutes later with another beer entirely. Yep, they were out of another beer. We ordered food, why oh why? Got our dried out pressed patties of beef (?) with literally no dressing whatsoever. The Classic Burger should have had a bacon bleu cheese dressing - it was absent just like the beer in this place. Score Card - Service, blech. Beer selection, blech. Food, blech. Handlebar - you had your chance and I'm never coming back. Sorry.

A Washington friend and I came here yesterday after a movie and feasted like Kings. Most do not realize that Pita Jungle has a Happy Hour where all their appetizers are $1, $2, $3.00, or about 50% off. It lasts until 5:30 pm exactly, and then resumes with a Reverse HH at 8:30 pm. Everything is excellent! You can also can order off the regular menu as well. My favorite dish continues to be their Falafel on pita sandwich for $5.99. But if you do not like pickles, make sure you ask for it without. LOL. We also had two of each of the following: their grilled shrimp, Hummus Trio, several individual serving of Falafel balls, Baba Ghanoush (roasted eggplant), a side of Tzatziki sauce and two glasses of wine. As I said above, everything was excellent. The bill came to a very fair $37 including taxes, but before tip. I'm still hopeful that someday they'll add a Tahini plater. Now even though our server was wearing a University of Oregon jersey, she did a very nice job, and was very attentive. So despite our misgivings, we tipped her well. Go Dawgs!
