Don Hall's Triangle Park And Grille

Don 't mistake character for just being old, outdated, and in serious need of an update. We were here on a Friday night to hopefully enjoy a nice meal in the bar area. The lighting and ambience is fine and it was easy to enjoy talking which is about where the best part of the experience ended. I ordered the cod, my partner order the Chicken Kiev and others ordered the stir fry chicken. Dinners come with a choice of two sides and the table was also served bread. Oh my...where to start. The bread was dry and not very good, but we tacked that up to being there a little earlier in the evening. When we reordered bread thinking it might be a little fresher, the waitress brought it on a plate and just plopped it on the top of the basket. The caesar salad was OK, but the croutons were really greasy and had an off taste. The greek salad was also good and was probably the one highlight of the meal. The Chicken Kiev was alright but the serving size was pretty small. The fish was not good. The piece that was served was big and was cooked fine, but it had a distinct sour taste to it. Now I have eaten plenty of fish and this taste was either because it wasn 't cooked from fresh or it was spoiled as no other food was on the plate but the fish. The clam chowder was basically flavorless and had more potato cubes than clam. There were also several pieces of clam that were gritty while chewing. The stir fry was cooked right, but the pieces of chicken were too big and the portion size was on the smallish size. Overall besides the greek salad about the best thing about the overall meal was the side of french fries which were served hot and right out of the fryer. The service was overall disappointing. The waitress never smiled, was short with her responses, and really didn 't want to be there. After we stayed a little after our meal she became almost surly and at one point in time she sarcastically asked if we wanted our drinks refreshed. The icing on the cake was when we were leaving she was talking with the hostesses who mentioned that things were a little slow, and our waitress within earshot of us and another large party coming in mentioned ya and I love working for free. This restaurant has been here forever and it is not a place that we will probably return to in the near future. There are too many other local places that have a greater attention to detail, have people working at them that do not have a negative attitude, and strive to serve freshly prepared and good tasting food.

Atmosphere with music is nice. Bread was microwave warmed and did not taste fresh. I only took 1 bite. Prime rib is always excellent. This location doesn't have garlic mashed potatoes like other higher end halls they only have baked potatoes. They weren't really busy tonight service was excellent Staff was super friendly I guess that and the music made up for the bread and no mashed potatoes.

I love don halls. They never disappoint. This is my second favorite one to go to. I just love that deck and the music they play during the weekends. The atmosphere is always light hearted and very easy going. Their menu is a good size the service is usually spot on. This time I decided to go for the Ruben sandwich and it was ok. Not as good as their burgers or salads. One of the people in my part order a fish and it was seasoned really good and prepared medium like she wanted. The portions are average and fair priced. This time tho we had slow service, had to ask for everything and then waited a long Time For the check. One thing that ends your trip with a smile Is the chocolate mints they have in an older gum ball machine. It's the best little token one could get when leaving.

Great meal of prime rib, chopped steak and smashed sweet potatoes. We will return! Super service and decor.

Had a Mother's Day lunch with family this weekend. We made reservations for 11:30. The restaurant wasn't very busy at that time but became busier throughout our lunch. I ordered the bbq burger with onion rings. The burger was cooked medium-well and still had plenty of flavor! I wish the bun had more onion on top like the bottom bun. My husband ordered the prime rib sandwich. It was a piece of prime rib on a piece of bread. Not necessarily a sandwich and didn't come out looking too pretty but was still quite tasty! We had a spot by the windows and the water view was great! We even fed the ducks afterwards which was perfect for the littles that were with us.
