Connie's | Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Cedaredge

I really debated leaving a review at all but this was by far the worst service me and my husband have ever received and I think people should be forewarned. We walked into the door on the left side of the building, a bell rang announcing we'd come in, and we found just 3 tables...4 if you count the one with the fly swatter and menus sitting on it. There was a couple seated at one of the booths. After we stood at the door for a couple of minutes without anyone coming to greet us or seat us the lady at the booth told us we could just sit anywhere. So we seated ourselves and waited some more. After about 5 minutes I grabbed a couple of menus for us to look at. A waitress finally came in about 5 minutes later, took the order for the other couple and told us she'd be back... that was the first acknowledgement that we were even in the restaurant. Another 5 minutes go by and the lady at the other table calls back to an employee and asks her if my husband and I have any drinks yet, we did not, and the employee asked what we'd like and brought us a couple of iced teas and left. So at about the 20 minute mark we FINALLY order. My husband ordered a simple bowl of soup and a side of cottage cheese. I ordered the "Healthy Platter"... which is a hamburger patty, cottage cheese, fruit, and tomato slices. Some time later the other couple received their food... we'd now been waiting quite some time and the waitress never said a word to us... no explanation, no apologies, nothing. At the hour and 15 minute mark I told my husband that we should just leave... we'd only stayed that long because we were very hungry and leaving would mean going to another restaurant and waiting all over again... although I think it still would have been faster! My husband went to find the waitress to pay for our drinks and we were going to leave and magically our food was ready. I honestly wanted to still walk out but, again, we were both hungry and my husband is diabetic and needed to eat. A minute later they brought us our food. It was fine but not worth waiting over an hour for. It was absolutely ridiculous... and again ZERO explanation or apology of any sort. I guess there is another side to the diner, I never saw it, but there is no way it could have been THAT busy on the other side that we would receive such horrible service... and if you can't handle serving both sides then close one off. I see so many 5 star reviews on here and it really makes me wonder how in the world they got them. We're a really laid back couple but this was beyond awful service and the restaurant is very rundown and musty... which I can honestly overlook if it has decent service. I would never recommend this place and would never go back if we were out...

Rude on the phone, didn't even get my to-go order correct, as I wanted bacon AND sausage for my children. Completely ignored my request and upon getting our food the pancakes are the only good tasting food... Our biscuits and gravy are flavorless and doughy like they aren't cooked all the way. I had to cover it in salt and pepper to get any flavor. Will never be back to spend a penny at this establishment. Just found out the rude service I received is from their MANAGER!! BEWARE! The manager did not apologize and threw the voided receipt in my face. I'm absolutely shocked this place gets...

When in doubt it's biscuits & sausage gravy for me. Add a side of bacon. Finish strong with a Connie's cinnamon roll. Everything was served as it should be hot, fresh and timely. I pieced my order affordably together A la Cart. Admittedly, I'm ready to for a nap. I love a nice hometown greasy spoon restaurant The other partons were friendly and kind. The bits and pieces of conversation that I caught were typical rural topics. If I closed my eyes talk of church, Trump and food seem to transport me 1200 miles east to my hometown in Indiana. I am...
