We visited TK’s during Spring Fest last weekend for lunch. It was an extremely hot day and we were hoping for a little relief from the heat.
The first thing I noticed about TK’s is that it is incredibly small. There are way too many tables in the restaurant and not enough space. There is not enough walking room left because of this, and when there are two customers in chairs that are back-to-back, there is not even enough room for the both of them to sit comfortably. At the time we entered, most of the tables had people sitting at them, but there were still a lot of seats left. This was, very soon, to change, however as more and more people came in. Towards the end of my visit, we were sharing our table with two complete strangers. TK’s does have outdoor seating, however, and all of that was taken, too.
TK’s tries to be a full service restaurant but with the drink dispenser in the seating area and only about two feet behind my seat, it’s very hard to make this really happen. It’s much easier for customers to refill their own drinks than feeling obligated to wait for the waitress.
We ordered a full pizza (at a good price) and a kid’s chicken meal for my two-year-old. The pizza is not of my typical style. As a personal choice, I prefer thicker crusts and our pizza was thin crust. However, I enjoyed it very much, as it was still quite yummy. It stayed hot, however, for a very long time, and the toppings kept falling off, so it was a bit harder to eat. That did not, however, affect the good taste. It was also a very good price for the size pizza we got and there was plenty left over, even after three of us were full.
Overall, I would say I enjoyed my experience at TK’s, though it did become very cramped and noisy as more people came in and literally filled every seat in the house. We were at a table, next to us, two parents and their four adolescents all crammed into one booth!
