  Summary of rant below:
  - 40 minutes since first sitting down to get drinks (which were great – only reason why I gave more than 1 star),
  - food was nothing special (I’m sure you can get better elsewhere),
  - high server incompetency (swearing, carrying food in bare hands, not following through on comp items) despite them telling us they were having staffing issues,
  
  I’ll start by saying that it was fairly busy tonight and we were told early in our dining experience that they were under-staffed. We decided to come here tonight for our first time because I really had a hankering for margaritas. Both my boyfriend and I worked in restaurants previously, so we know how these kind of nights go, but also means we notice certain things. It seemed to us the under-staffing was mostly in the back of house, because there were 6-7 servers (well, at least people that were helping to deliver food) that we observed throughout our time there. Well, it was “seat yourself” tonight, so we picked a spot on the main floor and decided on what we wanted to eat/drink. 10 minutes later we were told itd be a few minutes. 5 minutes after that we were told that if we wanted to order, everything was behind so it might take a little longer than usual. We both figured, whatever, nowhere that we have to rush to tonight, and at least we were aware of the situation. And what a situation it turned out to be.
  
  We ordered everything (appetizer, drinks, and dinner) right then and there. As we were saying our selections, we were told that some of them (like the guacamole appetizer) would be “quick” (hint: it wasn’t). 30 minutes after ordering them, our drinks finally come. No excuse for drinks taking that long. However, the drinks were excellent (so good that we ordered more – right away of course so we’d get them while we were eating and not 20 minutes after we left). At this point, we were told that our entire food order would be comped, and the drinks couldn’t because of some alcohol law (which we both said was complete BS after the server left, but hey, don’t make promises you can’t keep right?). 10 minutes after that our appetizer comes, and about 15 after that our food (total time to receiving entrée since first sitting down: 55 minutes). Food was okay, but nothing “wowy” and a little overpriced. Throughout the course of this ordeal, our server thought it appropriate to curse and bring lemons for our water in their bare hands. Both highly inappropriate and/or unsanitary. However, as I mentioned before, my boyfriend and I have both been there and I think we were more than generous with our tip.
  
  As we were finishing our seconds drinks (also excellent), the manager finally visits us to apologize and offers us a complimentary dessert (which we accepted to go). Bill comes next and the only things comped was the dessert (total time since first sitting down: a little less than 2 hours). No real surprise there (no company would comp that much stuff on a wim), but don’t tell people you’re going to remove something and then don’t follow through – bad business practice. At this point, we’re just ready to leave so we paid and high-tailed it home.
  
  I know a lot of this stuff is probably petty, but altogether it’s unacceptable. I’m not sure we’ll ever come back, but if we do, we’ll likely sit at the bar and only get drinks. The drinks were the only reason I gave more than 1 star.

  I wouldn't really call Marg's a mexican restaurant. Their food is mexican themed but probably the best in the area. Prices are a bit high for what you get.

  Decent food (tex mex), and cheap drinks after nine pm. Not bad.
