Green Dot Stables

Came to green dot stables for the second time tonight with my husband and kids. Our first visit was almost a year ago. When we got here it was already very busy as we expected on a Saturday evening. The host gave us a wait time of 30-45 minutes and directed us to a waiting area. She took our phone number to text us when they were ready. What was nice was they have an outdoor room for waiting with tables. There was a bar but no one was working it. They did have a big keg of free water and cups. This was nice with kids.

When it became past 45 minutes we went to check our wait time. Turns out the hostess wrote down our number incorrectly and tried to call us a half hour earlier. She was very apologetic and seated us quickly. It was very crowded and loud so I could see how it would be easy to not hear us correctly. Our waitress Valentina came over and took our drink order. It was almost 15 minutes later before she came back to get our food order. Again it was very busy so I understand if thing’s take a while. Our food came out at a reasonable time frame. My boys got max and cheese and grilled cheese sliders. I got the buffalo sliders which were amazing as well as the chicken Caesar. The chili cheese fries were good. My husband had the Cuban Korean and a few regular sliders. The food overall is great. All fresh. This place mainly only has sliders. There are a few sides like fries, soup and salad. My boys wanted dessert so they got ice cream and the s’mores slider. I ordered a second round of buffalo sliders and it took almost an hour for them to come.

Everything was great except we had a weird interaction with our waitress at the end. My husband took one of our boys to the bathroom and while he was gone she came over with her card runner and wanted me to take care of the tip. I told her my husband would take care of it when he returned. He always takes care of paying and the tip when we are out. She walked away and then returned two minutes later and was impatient with me because my husband had not returned from the bathroom. She said I’m going to need that back referring to the card reader. I was trying to determine the appropriate amount to tip her when she pipes up says I would go ahead and do %25. We had a bill of $92 and while her service was overall good it wasn’t worth 25 percent in tip! Aside from that I thought her comment was rude and unprofessional as well as her impatience to wait for my husband.
