3 Squares Diner — Restaurant in Camilla

My family and I decided to give this place a shot. We’ve heard mixed reviews, but the google reviews are good. So, we thought, why not?

I really would have liked to give this establishment more than 1 star, but I simply cannot and call myself an honest person. I’ll start by saying our waitress, Aliyah, was good. She was very kind and I could tell she wanted us to have a nice experience. As for the food, the majority of it was just cut-rate cafeteria quality, not great, but edible. Had all the food been this way, I wouldn’t even take the time to write a review. However, my son ordered the ribeye medium-rare. When it was served, I cut into it and it was beyond well done, which our waitress acknowledged, and offered to bring us another. I declined another steak because, one, we really didn’t have time to wait any longer, and, two, we’re not above eating an over-done steak. So we continued with the meal. I tried a piece of my son’s steak and I can’t say I’ve ever tasted a steak that bad. It was heavily over-seasoned, but that wasn’t even the problem. The meat itself tasted very, very off. The aftertaste was enough to make both me and my son nauseous. 100% inedible. So he just ate his sides. We didn’t make a fuss.

When our waitress brought us the check, she asked how everything was. So, I was honest. I told her that I’ve never eaten a steak that tasted like that, over-cooked or otherwise, and that it was inedible. To my surprise, she tasted a piece herself and her words were “that doesn’t taste like steak.” She apologized, and offered again to bring us another. Again, I refused because we had to be on our way.

In summary, whoever owns/manages this establishment, if you’re reading this, you need to check on your business, homie. It’s bad, even for Camilla’s standards.

That said, again, Aliyah is a good waitress and I...

Remember when this place was called Huddle House? Remember when it was Gamos? In a little bit we will remember when it was 3 Squares Diner as well. My first trip here we waited over an hour for our food and I brushed it off and gave it another shot. Today I was met with an absurd amount of flies. I understand 1 or 2 but there were dozens flying around landing everywhere. Also waited over half a hour after I ordered my food and it still hadn’t been placed on the grill. I already received my bill which was wrong as well. 17$ for an omelette is a little outrageous. I am recommending that no one waste your time coming to this location. The owner doesn’t care about actually training employees and teaching them how to perform at a basic standard. They need to start taking the trash out at the end of the day too because the...

They say it’s clean, but baby, I’ve seen gas station restrooms with more soul. It took a small eternity to get my food—toast, mind you—and when it finally floated in like it had survived a storm at sea, the server dropped it like it was cursed.

Did they ask if I wanted a refill? No ma’am. Not once. Not even a pity glance. My coffee cup sat there so long, it started whispering stories from the other side. Dry. Abandoned. Spiritually thirsty.

You want hospitality? Keep drivin’. You want edible food served without an omen? Light a candle. The water tasted like it passed through three emotional breakdowns before it hit the glass.

Would I go back? Only if I’m reincarnated as a cockroach with low standards and...
