Kemencés Vendéglő — Restaurant in Gödöllő Regional Unit

As the adage goes, "first impression lasts" this IS definitely going to be a long lasting one for us! In a nutsell, don't even bother! We won't be back EVER! Wait staff is semi-incompetent at their best, while the "chef" (sorry, real proud master chefs for bastardizing the word...) must be a total... gulp... you know what. If someone needs more than an hour and half to put fried mushroom caps with rice, greens for garnishing and Tartar sauce on the table... When the breaded mushrooms came freezer stale from the fridge... When they forget the Tartar sauce alltogether that allegedly were supposed to come with fresh chives in it and upon noting its absence, it took them only another hour NOT to deliver on it... When even then, my lady companion who decided to take matters in her own hands and actually went down to the kitchen herself and she was given a dollop of MAYO(!) in a corning ware cup "canonized" to become Tartar sauce with fresh chopped chives... Probably, you know now, NOT to set foot in there in any case! As for speaking for us, we will not ever go there again! Seriously, what moron can mess up an order of common fried sports bar appetizer that comes from a bag already processed and frozen this bad? Good luck in this business to stay afloat! These Guys really gonna need it... and a lot of it! Oh! Don't you even think of ordering anything made from beef! Horrible! Like shoe soles treated...

Surreal. We ordered fried perch and sirloin steak. Waited 40 minutes for the food to arrive. The surrounding is quite nice, so we played with my daughter. Unfortunately my steak arrived medium-rare to rare instead of medium, so I had to send back, it was too rare for me. Had to wait another 10 minutes to get back the same steak a little better cooked. The perch was ok, not tasty, not bad either. Overall the food was very average. When I got the bill I saw an extra 10% service fee charged to the bottom line. I wanted to ask to take that off since sending a meal back is really an unpleasant experience for a customer. Now this is where the management of the restaurant jumped in. They educated me that waiting 40 minutes is fine ("this is not a McDonald's) and was surprised that I was not happy with the steak after they fixed it for me. They did not give me the change back until they called the owner of the place - same attitude as the manager. She had zero interest in my complaints, but also educated me that this is not a McDonald's and 40 minutes waiting for the food is perfectly ok. Did not even talk about the fact that I had to send back my steak. Anyway. I would be really careful with this place. Try not to give them feedback - they cannot...

+: The beef stew (5 690 Ft) was really delicious, the meat was tender and the dumplings were the perfect side dish. The amount of meat you get, is amazing.

The pork chops with letcho (5 490 Ft) was tasty as well. The letcho, meat and dumplings were seasoned really well.

For both dishes more sauce would have been great for the dumplings, but that is just personal preference.

The roasted chicken breast with grilled mozzarella, ham, rice and salad (6 190 Ft) was like the other dishes very delicious.

I can highly recommend all these dishes and in general this restaurant. You get great portions for a great price. The staff was really nice...
