I am one of the founders of the Pittsburgh Liver and Onions Dinner Club in which we had a dinner at Jodi B's on a Wednesday evening at (3/15) 5:30 P.M. There were 21 of us attending. We were placed at a long table in the bar which is separate from the main dining room (which was great and appreciated). The main dining room wasn't busy at all during our stay.

I had ordered with my liver and onions as an appetizer a plate of onion rings (5.00). When the waitress was distributing our meals (which took place in back of me; I was seated with my back to her), she announced "who has the onion rings?". I had raised my hand (because it was fairly noisy) in response.

For some reason, the waitress somehow became offended by my action of raising my hand (I'm assuming) and was very rude in shouting out they weren't mine! How embarrassing this was as she repeated this in front of my peers! And, how wrong she was-I was the only person in our group to order as an appetizer (5.00) onion rings!

I made the decision to not press the issue any further and say nothing. Waiting, I was wondering if I would ever receive the onion rings that I had ordered. I never did.

The onion rings were on my bill, but I wasn't charged for them. In addition to not being charged for the onion rings, my bill was 10 dollars less than what it should have. So, because of the waitresses incompetency's, Jodi B's actually lost 15 dollars on my order alone; also, I did not tip the waitress (sorry, I don't waste my hard earned money on individuals who literally embarrass me in front of a group of people).

This experience was truly bizarre. I have no idea why, literally, I was denied and refused an order of onion rings. And, I was publicly shamed and embarrassed.

The bar and restaurant were both clean and tidy.

My meal (liver and onions with a side of french fries and coleslaw) were lackluster at best. The liver and fries were extremely greasy; just drenched in grease. It was served hot, but, it reeked of a greasy spoon.

The cook did accommodate one of our participants in pureeing her meal as she has temporary dietary restrictions.

Because of the structure of the Pittsburgh Liver and Onions Club, each dinner we have is planned (location, events, etc.) by another person in the club each meeting and because the founders allow for one to decide where to have the dinner, I won't disallow anyone from going to Jodi B's. But, I will certainly discourage it very much so.
