I am (well, was) a regular at this establishment, until I had an awful experience this morning.
I was with my younger son, we had breakfast. I asked for a coffee refill. The waitress, I believe related to the owners, informed me she could give me a refill to go, but basically, I had to leave “because it was busy” and she needed the table. Mind you, this wasn’t a polite request, not that a polite request to leave is something any food establishment should do. I was embarrassed in front of my son. What’s more, it didn’t appear to be excessively busy. It’s not like we were there an inordinate amount of time (about 40-45 minutes).
She said there was a line of people waiting. There was not.
This was the first time I ever experience this in anyplace I’ve eaten, it took me a moment or two to get through the shock of what was happening. I thought for almost $40 for two omelets, two sides of bacon and coffee I guess maybe I could enjoy a coffee refills.
Until now, I’ve overlooked some of the eatery’s shortcomings. -They had no oatmeal AGAIN today (hint: tough to make money when you have no product to sell). -On one occasion they were out of diet coke for days (cash flow problems?) -Place is absolutely dirty. -And, the men’s room smells like a sewer – try me, stop over and use the bathroom and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about lol.
But that level of disrespect for a paying customer is past what should be tolerated.
Spend your money elsewhere, it’s a college town, there are plenty of places to choose from. Bloomin Bagels is a short distance away, and I’ve met the owner on many occasions. He keeps his establishment clean, seems to treat his help very well, and is a savvy enough businessman no to pull something like this...
Read moreAnother update that I forgot to mention. We went to this place a hour before they closed and as we approached their door we were greeted with we are closed. Very rude unprofessional and waste of gas and time as we came a hour away. No apologies nothing just we are closed l! very very rude. Call before you go and pray they answer the phone to tell you if they are opening according to their business hours. It appears they change them when they feel like it. Otherwise maybe a waste of your time.
Food comes out as soon as you tell your waiter wait what,? . And it's so much food..omg! Delicious. The only thing I suggest is tighten up on the cleaniness. Like the salt n pepper bottle. Tables. Etc.. clean more please especially with all these communicable diseases. And laminate your menus they are disgusting.. it's paper with stains that's really gross. Maybe paint a bright white and you guys are all set for tv diner driver's and dives!!! Update Update alert !!!!went back price was different higher for the same thing. Only 5 days apart. and a piece of blonde hair was cooked in my waffle.. never again thought I found a...
Read moreLemme lay down straight facts on this place. 1) small diner vibes here dont expect anything else. 2) the omelettes and scrapple were fan-freaking-tastic 3) very loud inside not their fault just typical diner noise but like it was kinda hard to have a conversation sometimes. Dont let that defer you places food was quick and delicious. 4) I don't know who our waitress was but she killed the game always stopping by asking how things were if we needed more coffee etc... A+ work. 5) there was maybe a 10 minute wait when we got there and the hostest actually came outside to tell us how many parties were ahead of us now I don't know about yall but that kind of stuff only happens at big time restaurants like olive garden and things not typical of small diners. Overall 24/30 nice place and would reccomend...
