Abbey's Lounge - Wheeling

I am in utter disbelief how this restaurant could get such good reviews. It is up there as one of my top five worst experiences at a restaurant. We were here about 10 years ago with a group and honestly, it wasn’t that memorable. But we drive by here all the time and the parking lot is constantly packed. So we thought we should give it another try. We were surprisingly seated immediately. But still had to wait 10 minutes before a waitress came over for a drink order. But during that wait, we overheard quite a bit of complaints from the tables next to us. I guess that is one good thing about being sat practically on top of each other. The place is unusually cramped. We over heard the one table next to us complaining about the pasta sauce to their waitress and the waitress’s excuse was “Well we are not an Italian restaurant”Excuse me?! That is something you should NEVER say as a waitress. We probably should’ve left right then, but we had our hopes up after reading all of the good reviews. We ordered zucchini sticks since it was a highly recommended appetizer. Some pieces were OK and some pieces were soaked in grease. We ordered two New York strip steak dinners And were later informed that they were out of New York strip steaks, but we could choose Ribeye or sirloin. So we both opted out for ribeye. Oddly enough, ribeye isn’t even a choice on their regular menu. So how was it an option when they ran out of New York strip? So many red flags missed All because we really wanted to give this place a try. I ordered a Lebanese side salad. It was good, except for the bowl had about a cup of salad dressing in it. The lettuce was absolutely soaked in it and turned soggy very quickly. So I didn’t get to eat all of it. When the waitress finally came around to pick up our plates, I asked her if that was normal for the salad to have that much dressing, and she even agreed that it was not normal. But never offered to make it right. Then finally came our steaks. My husband’s steak was actually cooked how he ordered it and it was OK. Still nothing that great. It looked and tasted like it had been pan fried. Not worth $30+My steak however, It was overcooked and tasted like liver. I would have complained to the waitress, but she never came back. When she finally did, it was already too late and I just wanted to leave. I did complain to her about my steak and she asked if I wanted another and I told her I am not waiting another 30 minutes for another crappy steak. I asked her for a box and told her I was giving it to my dog. As we waited a long time for our bill, we got to witness two workers full on making out right at the entrance door. I honestly felt like I was being punked. I have never seen such a trashy place get such good reviews.To top it off, I got horrible food poisoning that night. I will never return and will never recommend this place to anybody!

Love Abbeys. Everything is awesome and everyone is so nice and accommodating. Joe and Abbey are the best!!!

Parking: There are 2 parking lots. One directly infront of the Wheeling Island Pool (across the street) and infront of the restaurant.
