Summer's suck big time

I made my first ever trip to Summers the weekend before last. I showed up after the WUSA/WNT doubleheader and proceeded to stay for about seven or eight hours including two meals, five beers, and a couple of waters.

My personal experience is that the service was excellent. But I have heard horror stories.

 

As a proud Maryland native, I have to wonder whether DeezNutzz is actually from Rockville. After all, they did teach grammar and verb tenses in the Montgomery County public schools that I attended

Seriously, Summers' service is horribly inconsistent, and you have to know what to order on the menu (hint: the fish and chips is actually quite good, the "pasta and chicken fingers" almost certainly isn't). But the quality (or lack thereof) of the food and the service isn't why I go.

Summers was supporting soccer when it wasn't necessarily a profitable thing to do - and continues to do so NOW even when it isn't profitable (i.e. airing the US U-20 matches last year).

I go to Summers because I know that, when Fado and Lucky Bar and all the other Johnny-come-latelys have moved on to showcasing something else, Summers will still show soccer.

 

When I go (admittedly not that often), I tend to sit at the bar. I've really never had that much a problem with the service. The decor could use some work though.

 

I've been there numerous times as well and the service is inconsistent. A couple years ago I was a regular Spain La Liga viewer and would be there every Saturday 3:00 PM. Joe went out of his way to make sure the fans who were there to watch Real Madrid, Valencia, etc. were taken care of. gocaps last paragraph tells you all you need to know about Summers. Give it another chance Nutzz.

 

If you want food & service go to Galileo (according to those more knowledgeable than me in the Food forum).

If you want to down some beers & watch some soccer, Summers is it.

 

I think DeezNutzz is a troll and a sockpuppet for someone who's already been redcarded.

 

Summers is a good place minus the united fans.

 

deeznutzz can stay in MD for all I care
as CHICO13 says, their tvs work AND they shot "futbol."

 

Summers brings out the gang member in all of you folks around DC.

... and I mean that in the best way possible.

 

I don't disagree, noboby except a low brow juvenile thinks These Nuts is funny or appropriate.

1 - His HOTT cousin slept with two players this weekend

2 - He heard from a reliable source that Petke was in NY

3 -

WHAT?

4 - Luckily this retard is the one trolling the Metro Forum

 

What he said. Plus try tipping. I get treated like a King but I realize that the folks waiting on me have to make a living. Oh, and I'm in there two or three times a week.

 

I'm pretty sure that based on this one experience you can safely assume that going to Virginia will always be a horrible experience. And I'm pretty sure that if one VA restaurant is horrible then pretty much all of them are.

(yes, I am kidding.)

 

Personally I'll go pretty far out of my way to watch a game anywhere but Summers. But you have to love them for the soccer support.

 

Galileo may be expensive and prestigious, but you should avoid it. The service can be very slow and the portions are tiny.

 

Try tipping.

Actually, next time you go, tell them I sent you. You'll definitely get better service.

 

Exactly! Sure are there times when the service isn't mind-bogglingly good? But when it comes to watching soccer on TV, is there any where else in America I'd rather be? Nope (with Boston's Phoenix Landing a distant second)

 

I think Lastort and Bryan might be on to something!

Guess I need to figure out the ignore button.

I guess I'm stuck in the position of hoping the service at Summers gets even worse, so we can keep the Rockville Eunuch out of Virginia.

Having waiters ask me how I'm doing while I'm watching the game is incredibly rude. Besides, they can figure out how I'm doing just by looking at the scoreboard.

 

Yeah. How many people do you know that live in Rockville, Maryland and can honestly say "this is the first time I have ever visited Virginia" when they are old enough to write semi-complete sentences and travel to restaurant/bars (ostensibly on their own. Maybe he moved to MD from California last week or he is about 9 years old (with a pottymouth judging by his handle) and the waiter couldn't see him because he kept slipping under the table. Otherwise he is a lying troll.

 

I've been going to Summer since '95 and have never really had a bad experience. Well, except for those involving the score of a game on the tv. The game are alwasy on, the beer is cold and the food is ok. Heck it's a dinner, and for the most part dinner's offer average food at best.

 

When at Summers, stick to the burgers and beer and all is well.
