Decided to try a non-chain restaurant on our way up to Phoenix on Saturday. It was between Big House Cafe or Cook E Jar Bakery & Cafe. We should have gone with the latter. There were several people outside when we arrived, so I knew that there would be a wait for a table. When we went inside to put our names on the list, there were 3 or 4 empty (dirty) tables, so for a second I thought that maybe the people outside were waiting for something else (or maybe the tables to be bussed). Then the we put our names on the list and were told that it would be about a 25 minute wait. It was a beautiful day out, so we patiently waited outside. The wait was 30 minutes, acceptable based on being told it would be 25 minutes to begin with. Once seated we got our drinks rather quickly. There were 2 girls (ladies) who I thought were the waitresses. Turns out one was only doing drinks and taking names and seating people and the other was the waitress and also taking names and seating people. Both girls were relaxed and not hurried. By this time all tables inside are full (I do not know how many people were out on the patio or if there were additional wait staff outside). Before the waitress eventually (20 minutes later) came to take our orders, my husband had asked if we needed to place our orders at the counter. The waitress said no that she got a little behind (her demeanor was not that of someone who was busy, but rather really laid back). After placing our orders it took another 20 minutes for our food to arrive. Took us 12 minutes to eat. They really picked up their pace when it was time to pay because that only took 3 minutes. If I had a time machine, I would have gone to Cook E Jar Bakery & Cafe instead. Next time we will.
