Misconduct Tavern

Food was terrible, service was OK atmosphere is all you are paying for.
Went on a Wednesday night, they were out of a lot of items on the menu. Especially on the beer list. Food took a little while for all the appetizers we got, it was very bla. No flavor and kind of pricy. Our server was nice but at the end messed up our check. Would’t recommend it for food, just atmosphere.

I’ve been here for lunch and dinner. At lunch I would give 4 stars for food and service. Food came out in about 25 minutes which is a little slow for lunch. We all got salads and they were good. Dinner was another story.
I made a reservation for a party of 10 for a birthday dinner for a couple before a comedy show. Our reservation was for 6:45. When I arrived there was no hostess, so I waited at the host stand for about 5 minutes while the rest of the party went to the bar. When a waitress came over, she told me they don’t take reservations when I politely pointed to the book and showed her our reservation. She said they didn’t have a hostess so could see what they could do. We got a few seats at the bar in the meantime and just gathered around. At 8:30 she told us a table was ready, almost 2 hours past our reservation. Our show started at 9:30 so we didn’t have time so we never got a table. She didn’t offer anything for our inconvenience. Very disappointed and would never go back for anything but to just sit at the bar. I understand there can be issues but the way it was handled was unprofessional and the wait staff was very impolite. The bar tender was very friendly.

Bartenders are 5 stars hands down but as far as the food is concerned– No. I am sure the salads or sliders are okay but the BLT I ordered? I looked at it and was perplexed. Why? Because I literally have no idea how anyone could screw up a BLT. A 5 year old could have better. It should have been called an «T» because there was barely any bacon and one floppy wilted paper thin sliver of lettuce. They did pack in 4 ‘fried green tomatoes” (which I’m sure they hang their hat on as a selling point for this sandwich) but they were breaded with thick panko like breading that I was able to peel off in whole and the tomatoes were somewhat hard. I guess being able to peel off the garbage that breaded my unripe tomatoes was a positive because they were much too greasy. As was the sourdough bread it was served on. For $ 10.00 I got a greasy tomato sandwich with legit –ONE piece of bacon. One piece chopped up into little bits. It was criminal.
Their mission statement: «To serve delicious, affordable food that guests will want to return to week after week» is a complete joke.
Sober up, Misconduct.

This place is aptly named, because there is a lot of ‘misconduct’ going on at this tavern!
This experience literally left a bad taste in my mouth; and after seeing so many bad reviews here, it confirms my suspicions and I’ll add my two cents.
It’s a great space. It has a big room, walls of windows, a centerpiece bar where all can gather around as tightly or loosely as the crowds eb and flow. However, that’s about as much praise as I can give this second location of Misconduct.
I guessed that something was up when we ordered beers and I had to flag down my waitress after about 15 minutes. When she saw me waving from across the room, she had that «oh crap» look on her face and went directly to the bartender to order our drinks. She literally forgot about us.
And then there was the food, which didn’t take as long to come out; and I didn’t have to remind her that we were there as paying customers.
So wings tend to be the standard bar fare by which a business like this should be judged, right? At least I think so. I ordered the dry-​rubbed wings, and I regretted it. For $ 12.50, you got 9 wings. Not 12, not 6, but 9 (for some odd reason). The wings were a decent size, but their dry rub was rather disgusting; as they had a coating of way too much sugar on them. And I couldn’t shake that taste for hours.
And with the one single beer that I had, a rather small-​sized $ 9 Belgian, my bill came out to $ 23. $ 23 friggin’ dollars!
Screw that. The only time I’d come back here was if friends were gathering, or meeting up in public with a new local, and if it was happy hour for lower prices.
Like the other reviewers here, I just can’t recommend this place. Hopefully management will come here and do it’s homework to whip this nice space back into shape before they close from lack of business.

Service was average; however, they were out of Ketel One and Grey Goose. They were also out of coke slaw. The food was just okay. I can’t say I’d go back or recommend it.

I always seem to be disappointed when it comes to a bar’s TV situation for sports. This place by far has the best. No matter where you’re sitting, you got a good view to watch a boatload of games so I’m looking forward to spending some time this summer watching the Euro Cup and then continuing into the fall for Football and Soccer games.

It’s a pretty standard bar/​grill type place. They do have more than your average TVs which is decent for trying to catch a game. The space is big and open and it offers outdoor seating in the front on JFK.
HH 4:30−7…I don’t remember exactly but specials were in the below ballpark.
$ 7 cocktails
$ 5.50 Draft Beers (some exclusions)
$ 5.50 Wine
Menu was good but not great. I tried the Mac and Cheese after it was mentioned in soo many reviews. It was a little over hyped if you ask me. Not bad but not what I would seek out.
I wouldn’t be opposed to going back in a if someone suggested it I’d be open to it kind of way.

Went here on a Monday night and ordered the chicken sliders, which were pretty yum. It came with a side of fries, which came out cold so weren’t as good as I expected. Paid about $ 11 without tip.

I go here quite often since I live so close by, originally fell in love with their Mac & Cheese at their Locust location.
THE best Mac & cheese, I usually get spinach, roasted garlic and roasted red pepper. The most perfect gooey dish ever! I also like their beer barter friend pickles. Those are the 2 things I always get when I go. I’ve tried their vegetarian sliders, nothing I would rave about though. Basically come here for the Mac and Cheese.
I love the openness of the restaurant, it’s so big, perfect for a larger party. Cons: service is SUPER low, even if I am sitting at the bar, I got slow service. If my drink was empty… I had to ask like 3x for another. Usually at any other place, the bartenders approach you and say «would you like another?» But not this one…

I’m not quite sure why there are so many bad reviews for this place. It’s located in the same apartment complex my friend lives in so we came here for a quick and relatively cheap dinner compared to what was around us. We got the veggie and chicken sliders, with fries and potato salad. The potato salad had a slight tang to it — not bad, but I preferred the other food. The veggie sliders were good and the chickpeas were a nice though, though I wish it had just a bit more flavor. The chicken sliders were great! The chicken was tender and the soy glaze was amazing. Service was fast, but we also went at 8 PM on a Sunday. Definitely filling and seems like the rest of the menu is your typical bar food.

Ordered a burger medium and it arrived VERY well-​done. Skip this location and go to their other Philly location if you must go to a Misconduct.

What a joke. If I could leave 0 stars I would. Waited at the bar for hours for a seat (would be 30 mins), caught the bartender putting well tequila in their $ 10 «epsilon tequila» drink, and never received an update on when seating would be available — 3 hours later.
Thanks, but no thanks. Try taking care of your customers. You are easily the lowest rated Unilocal restaurant in the area, for good reason.

This review is based on two different experiences I had here.
The first time I went to Misconduct was for happy hour with my co workers. All the cocktails they have were $ 5 and then there were beer/​wine specials as well. We ordered a few appetizers which were pretty good too. The space itself is large and is a great setting for large groups. The service was also on point.
The second time I went was for lunch with my co workers around noon on Monday (11÷2÷15). We had the worst service — it was solely due to our waitress who seemed to be scrambling around. In all actuality I’m not even sure why she was running around since no one else seemed flustered except for her. Half of our food came out wrong (three orders of the wrong sliders to be exact) so we sent it back. I had ordered the burger sliders which was fine except the fries didn’t come out at the same time which was annoying. Additionally, my other co workers food which was the beer can chicken sandwich we saw just sitting under the light for a good 20 minutes. When the rest of the sliders came back out that’s when all the fries came out along with my co workers chicken sandwich. The sliders I had were mediocre as mines was way too pink in the middle and honestly I was scared I was going to get sick. Maybe that’s my fault as I should have told the waitress I wanted it done medium well, however, any waitress that has common sense should have asked.
Overall I would shy away from this place for a full meal and just stick to happy hour.

I went as part of a free night and everything was decent. The grand opening went well with lots of people. The drinks were okay but nothing amazing. the food was decent but lacked character. It was just so cookie cutter you could have been anywhere. I did think about going back beyond the opening to see of it got any better or found it self any more character but sadly from other reviews and friends it seems like it will remain just a lack luster bar and grill.
It does hae great outdoor seating though right on the main drag of JFK.

This place, like everyone has alluded, sucks. And the Mac n cheese is good but seriously so is easy mac and it takes 1 min and $ 1.
The service is painfully slow. Does misconduct make an effort to hire slow and unresponsive servers at both their locations? When they messed up my friends order she just giggled like «haha they have to remake it they’ll come out soon» after waiting 40 min already… like NO NOT HAHA. Then messed up drinks with a similar haha. She wasn’t rude, but, cmon make an effort!
The food is standard American aka 100 places in the city to go to. It’s also pretty pricey for standard items.
Just don’t bother. The cocktails are so sweet and weak af don’t try getting crunk.

I went there the other day to watch the football game with some friends. The whole time during the game, the one tv showing the game kept cutting in and out so we missed a lot of the game due to the tv cutting out.
The waitress we had was fairly absent since the whole waitstaff seems to chat it up in the corner than actually do their job. I don’t know if this was a waitress or the manager (I sure hope not) but I was asking this woman a question and mid-​sentence she WALKS AWAY FROM ME! It was ridiculously rude.
I had high hopes for this place opening up but it is far from impressive.
The food was decent. They get the extra star for that alone.

Dropped in here on a Saturday and was pleasantly suprised. The building is nice with large windows overlooking JFK street and Comcast. The bartender was really friendly and knowledgeable and made the whole experience great. He mentioned that they have a great happy hour, $ 4 all drafts and $ 5 cocktails .
We tried the Moscow mule and the gin apple blossom and both were strong and well balanced. We also shared the burger sliders and they were really good though the bun to burger ratio was off. The fries were amazing.
Overall we would come back during a football Sunday or for some quick food. A nice addition to the area and I appreciate that they’re open on the weeekends.

What? I can’t hear you? Wow we’ve been to a million places and this place is the LOUDEST ever. Ever. Must have missed the acoustics memo. Umm sound panels anyone? Install something to absorb the sound here. There are plenty of acoustic engineer companies who can help with this. I seriously think we might have hearing loss. It’s not loud energetic, it’s loud like omg there are 100 old people around me screaming bc they can’t hear each other. Please correct this!

I didn’t want to judge this place based on their first location, but after visiting I have the same opinion for both. It takes forever to get menus and orders in. It takes 40+ minutes to get our food. It’s basically impossible for them to get everyone at the table’s orders correct on the first try. It takes way too long to get our server’s attention for anything. And it takes another half an hour just to get the bill.
I don’t even care about the food when the service sucks. There’s plenty of great food places out there with NORMAL service. Our waitress was really rude to me when I told her I didn’t want to pay for an addition I got for my mac and cheese because they forgot to put it in the first time… And I waited 40+ minutes for it so I wasn’t going to have them bring another one out for me because we were starving. She did bring out the missing topping but it again took forever and I was halfway done my meal because I was starving. Instead of being understanding that I waited so long for a messed up order she rudely shot me down when she should have just taken it off the bill — it’s the principle of the matter.
The manager was accommodating when we talked to her and ended up taking the item off our bill plus a few other items because they messed up on multiple orders. That was already after a lot of frustration though at what was supposed to be a chill and normal lunch.
I just can’t with this place.

So, Misconduct as some AMAZING mac’n’cheese. Like, to die for. I got mine with roasted garlic and onions and it was finger lickin good.
Other than that, we had kind of a mediocre experience here for brunch on Sunday. The waitress was very slow and it really wasn’t that crowded. Our order came out all wrong for multiple people and we had to talk to the manager to take it off the bill. The food took an unecessarily long time to come out considering all we ordered was mac’n’cheese and were waiting for 40+ minutes. Then once we got it and ate it, we waited forever to get the bill/​boxes. We were there for 2 hours.
However, once we did speak to the manager, they were pretty accommodating and took the mistakes off of our bill.
So, I spent the majority of the meal feeling frustrated and annoyed but the food was delicious once they got it right. I’ll go back for the mac’n’cheese but I really hope they step up their game because there was no reason for us to have been waiting for so long and getting everything wrong.
