Black Market Bar+Grill (Avondale)

The location is awesome, walking in the building is nice, the atmosphere and decor inside were interesting. Absolutely love the vibe. We sat ourselves at a high bar table since there was only two of us. We tried the Greek egg rolls for a starter, And OMG, they are delicious, it's like spinach-artichoke dip in an egg roll. Amazing. It went down hill after this. After some time our waitress came and explained she didn't fully submit our order,but she did now and it would be out as quickly as possible... When she brought the food I had to place the appetizer in my lap, as the table was small. And she was just going to let that be ok, so we asked for a box, she brought it and still left the try from the appetizer, so in my lap it went. I ordered Feta erra quesdilla and sweet potato fries.. it was dripping and soggy.. I thought maybe it was mushrooms or beans.. but I saw neither, the taste wasn't it, very salty. The fries were not bad, just fries. My wife ordered the smash mouth tacos and regular fries.. the regular fries were pretty good, the taco.. Nothing really special, I wasn't fond of the sauce, but my wife didn't mind it. We watched our waitress go past us numerous times before we finally had to stop her to ask for our check and a to go box. And we watched as quickly as she walked away, she forgot. The restaurant is an awesome vibe, a few other waitresses actually talked to us and joked and even suggested the egg rolls, so the staff is nice.. but for whatever reason this was not our day. I say give them a try and maybe you'll enjoy it.

First time here. The atmosphere was great. We ate inside, but most people ate on the patio. Friendly staff! We didn't order drinks. However, the food was good and serviced hot!

Had an amazing date here. The food is PHENOMENAL, the service is top notch, and the cleanliness is through the roof! So many great and fresh menu options. We had the hummus appetizer, you've got to try it! And the lemonade was definitely freshly squeezed

Placed a to go order for a turkey club and it was the most disgusting sandwich ever . The onions were gigantic, it was dry , no cheese, no bacon and the turkey was as thick as meatloaf . I called and the manager basically told me too bad and offered nothing in the place of it . Customer service is a 0 , food is very inconsistent. I tried to support the new location , even purchased lunch for my entire staff but this was a deal breaker for me . Won’t be returning ! Spent 25.00 for nothing !

Absolute chaos at this place ahead of a concert Sunday 9/29. I’ve been to their location off of 280 several times and I’m a fan of the atmosphere, service, and food at that location. While we were here, they literally stopped taking food orders for half an hour so that the kitchen could keep up. Our server was great. Did not get her name but she was really cute, had a great personality, and did a good job despite having tables all over the restaurant and the kitchen being so backed up. They were clearly not prepared for the crowd, which is understandable for a new location, but they should have been able to anticipate it being across the street from a music venue. 20 minutes after ordering our appetizers, the kitchen informed our server that they were out of that item. My Ruben, which finally arrived 45 minutes after we ordered, was served on basic white bread with no explanation, but I have to assume that they ran out of the rye that it normally comes on. It was also very light on the meat, which is not typical at their other location. The rest of our group of 4 enjoyed theirs. This place was super loud, too, which is not the case at their other location. One of our group is in a mobility scooter and they accommodated her very well. The guy seating tables was great and they had plenty of front of house staff, but the servers’ sections seemed to be random, making it difficult for them. I noticed a lot of groups larger than 4 wanting separate checks and the servers handled it very well. Very nice beer selection in bottles/cans, but no draft, yet. If we go back, I hope that we get the same server and the kitchen is better prepared.

Met some of our friends out for dinner and trivia night here and it was fantastic! The food was great, atmosphere was fun and clean, and everyone on staff we spoke to were so nice. Dianna was our server and she was so sweet! She gave great recommendations of food and sauces! She was super kind and checked in on our table in perfect timing. We all enjoyed talking to her. Super sweet, pretty, and great at what she does! Our group is definitely coming back.

This was the first time we've been here since they changed from the Southside. Love the location because it gives better parking options. Our server was a little slow but not sure if he was off due to another table giving him a hard time. This time we had the sampler and the Cajun pasta for a meal. Both were delicious. The strawberry cheesecake egg rolls were very good too if you need a finisher. Overall, we'll be back again for sure.

Went for brunch only to find out they had basically nothing we went for. I wanted shrimp and grits and they were out. My friend wanted Chicken and pancakes and they were out of syrup. Mimosa's! Yep you guessed it they were out of champagne. How? How do you not have mimosas for brunch. It's like the #1 brunch item. It was so bad they had to close the kitchen. This place is too new to be so chaotic. From what I hear and other reviews this is a common issue they're having. Whoever is running the show needs to really take a step back and reevaluate your inventory process. Our waiter was great and very apologetic. He was the only pleasant part of the whole experience.
