POOR management I visited Hungry Lion Bayside last week specifically for the advertised ice cream special, which is said to run from 5 PM until closing time with no cut-off time mentioned anywhere. I arrived shortly after 7 PM, only to be told by the cashier that ice cream is not served after 7 PM. When I asked where this policy was displayed, I received no response,just silence and a dismissive attitude. I left and contacted customer care to query the special, and they confirmed the special does in fact run from 5 PM until the store closes. They apologised and said they would follow up with the store. Last night I returned after 7 PM to try again.

Secondly, they never seem to have the hot sauce that comes in those small pots. They do not tell you this prior to buying the wings. One they pack your order and call the number, it's not a "I am sorry there is no hot sauce", its more of a blank stare and shrug before moving off to pack the next order. Your staff needs to be...
