The Grill at The Grove Hugh Taylor Birch State Park

We had been coming to Park & Ocean for years before the change in concessionaire so we wanted to try the new management.

15 minutes after sitting down there was no waitress so I walked to the bar to order like at the old Park & Ocean. We were informed we needed to wait for table service and would not be served from the bar. After waiting another 10 minutes, the server finally came and took our order. When she came back with the beers she did not know which was which and let us figure out which beers were in the cups.

When the food came 20 minutes later my order was wrong and the server left to make it right. 20 minutes later (the next time she came around) I had to remind the server that my food was still not right. After another 10 minutes she came back with the correct order.

The food is acceptable, on par or maybe slightly better than Park & Ocean but I didn't want to leave any tip because the service was among the worst I've ever had at any restaurant. I was informed they add 20% gratuity automatically (picture included). I really think they need to abandon the table service concept and go back to the way it was previously. This waitress was horrible and my only tip would be for her to find a different line of work.
