My not so rave review

Ladies and gentlemen, be advised. Do not, I repeat, do not take this review lightly if you have a sensitivity to Ed Hardy, Affliction or Juicy Couture. If the bling has been known to give you a headache from the reflection off of all the sunglasses worn indoors or if you've ever been on the wrong side of a fist pump, I firmly advise against visiting The Patio Grill on a weekend.

We went to watch the playoff game and cheer for the boys in blue last weekend and ended up at the shit show that is Sundays at Patio Grill. Here's a recap of what I witnessed:
 - Some fake blonde in a bedazzled Cowboys jersey
 - A quilted leopard print purse and a lip piercing
 - A black glittered cheerleader skirt with NOTHING underneath
 - Rhinestone headbands
 - Neon green, rhinestone studded MEN'S shirt
 - tattooed Audigier, rhinstoned MEN'S shirt
 - basically, guys more blinged out and in tighter tshirts than the girls they were with
 - Pink bedazzled Ed Hardy trucker hat with blonde braids
 - Gold, fur-trimmed Juicy jacket with 1990's bare midriff
 - Pink Romo jersey with a studded clutch
 - A "not so lap dog" being carried, yet also carrying a big purse and dog carrier on her arm with scarf and sunglasses worn indoors
 - A Snuggie
 - Some chick lifting her shirt at the table next to us
 - A guy asking if we're "going to blaze later"

The world could have flooded and we'd stay afloat on all the silicone in that joint. Not to mention my main question - When did the Jersey Shore become aspirational instead of the punchline? I saw actual fist pumping!

And to top it all off, it took over 2 hours to get food, which is a big health risk for those of you that know me. I left the bar hysterical, crying and headed home across the street. I finally returned with a hat on and spent the rest of the night vowing to share how much I loathe the Patio Grill on McKinney Ave on weekends.

Just to be fair - I've walked by on weeknights and it looks like a chill place to spend a happy hour on a nice day. I'll have to try that next time.
