I can go to another little sports bar three blocks away (Dugout Sports Bar) and have a FAR FAR better plate of chicken for half the price of Timeout. On top of the bland food the prices are way out of line. The cook at this place should go taste the chicken at Popeye's or KFC or even the Waffle House to taste actual flavor. Seriously, I am pretty easily pleased but when you can't even add a little pepper to give your food taste then just close your kitchen. Today, I thought I would try the fried chicken and even THAT sucked. More importantly, why do so many people go there? The service is not great and the food has been really sub par consistently. They have some real problems and I don't understand why they can't seem to get past them. I have gone to Timeout Sports Bar now about four times. I will continue to eat here but never for perch. I depend on TripAdvisor reviews and wish there was a review about the $18.95 Perch only having 2 butterflies because I wouldn't have ordered it. I hate having to write a negative review on a place I like but it still bothers me 2 weeks later so putting it out there. The price was actually more of an issue than the food served. I've eaten here before and always had great food so think the cook was temporarily overwhelmed. Had to wait a bit longer than I expected considering place wasn't very busy but there was a large group among a few smaller groups in the dining area so the wait was understandable but we didn't have time for a refire so ate what was served. Petty but irritating as well was the stale, dry rye bread served with the perch.I understand prepping bread in advance but don't leave it out to dry. Both had decent flavor even though they were dark brown and not golden brown. The perch and chicken tenders served were over cooked. LARGE PERCH for $18.95 was pretty shocking for only 2 butterflies.
