Yeager's Down Home — Restaurant in Denham Springs

We have visited this place several times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The first few times, the food and service were good. The past couple of times, the food takes far, too long to come out...it isn’t very flavorful and the temperature isn’t hot enough. Still, we continue to go; hoping it will get better. Yesterday, on Mother’s Day, it was the worst, by far. When we first arrived, the server told us the kitchen was backed up and to expect a long wait for our food. We decided to stay, thinking it couldn’t be that bad. We sat there for an hour and waited for our food. We noticed that the guys delivering the food weren’t sure where the plates were supposed to go and would often give the food to the wrong tables. During this time, the server kept our water and coffee full, so that was nice. She was very friendly and apologetic. Like always, each time new customers arrived, they waited at the door to be seated, because it’s unclear what is expected...after a few minutes, a server would tell them to sit anywhere they like today (a seat yourself sign at the door would be so much easier). Several times, I noticed them turning away customers at the door because of the kitchen being backed up. When we finally received our food, it was good. It seems that many restaurants are seeking people to work these days. I’m sure this has to do with people getting paid more by the government to stay home than work, which is a whole different issue...not Yeagers’ fault. However, I feel that many of these issues with the restaurant could be resolved with better management. I do think they’re trying, which is why we keep returning to...

We went to Yaeger's on a Saturday at about 7pm and were shocked to find it practically empty. We know why now. First, it has a cool vibe, and we like the decor. Everything seems clean. The staff was friendly.

We ordered boudin eggrolls as an appetizer, which were good, though the sauce selection for those seemed odd. Hubs had a gator burger with fries. The burger was dry and had very little on it. The fries were old, but to be fair, they did bring him some new fries. I had the hamburger steak, which I thought was good. The garlic mashed potatoes were fake, and the macaroni and cheese is just not what I expected.

Our server was nice. But that's not enough for us to want to go back. We hate leaving less than stellar reviews for local businesses, because we are all about #shoplocal, but this isn't a place that we would bring friends or out of town guests for sure. We saw that they have a full breakfast menu and usually have weekly lunch specials, so maybe it was just the time of day we...
