Grotto Pizza — Restaurant in Camden

I've seen Grotto around, and finally stopped in. We were headed home and needed to get food and use a restroom right? So we stop in, party of two.

Decided to get a basic pepperoni pizza. Our server was sweet but very awkward. Since I asked for a water and a coke they assumed that was the drinks for the table. Never asked my spouse if they wanted anything. So we shared the drinks anyway. Pizza was...sure shaped like pizza. I guess it tasted like pizza. In that way that, its a late night in your early 20s. You've had some drinks and you're buzzing but not sloshed. You want a pie and the only thing open this late is that greasy joint thats only worked by other drunk college kids. So you go, because its cheap and you're hungry and it'll satisfy that. That's this whole place. A vaguely cardboard pizza that still hits the pizza button in the brain, but leaves to be desired.

So three stars instead of two. 1. Because awkward as they were the server was a sweetheart and I can't be upset by...

I dunno if it was a bad day for them or if this is normal. First, we had waitresses bringing us a bunch of food we didn't order. Then it took 15 minutes for our actual waitress to finally get to us and order our drinks. It took another 15 minutes to get our drinks. It got so bad that another waiter who happened to pass by saw that my wife was visibly frustrated and running out of patience for our order and he had to stop what he was doing to make sure our orders were coming. When we finally got our pizza it wasn't what we ordered at all. We asked for a large pizza and got a "mama grotto" instead. We accepted the pizza because we honestly didn't want to wait another 30 minutes for a new pizza. We quickly regretted that choice as the pizza was substandard and we couldn't even finish it. Needless to say our first impression of this place is pretty poor and we likely will not be...

So I ordered chicken wings and told the waitress how I want for drumsticks and for the other ones. And she said yeah that’s how they’re supposed to come. So we get our nice hot fries my toddler gets for pasta and 34 minutes later apparently the manager makes it clear that he’s worked for for 25 years. Which means nothing to me. The server brings out the wings and I now have cold fries to go with my wings. And let’s just say my kids been ready to go. Anyways, what a disappointment. I’ll be dealing with corporate. I work for Grottos back in the night. I get there short and even my business I can’t get employees. But at least take a percent off the bill. Literally caught fries with wings just isn’t...
