The owner/manger might call the cops on you and your children too if you complain about the bad food, poor service, and his nasty attitude. The waitress was nice. However...

We've had decent food there before, however I'm not sure if it was owned and managed by the same people. But, this visit was pretty bad.

I went with my family and we ordered a cheese stake, eggs, pancakes, toast, bacon and I ordered a simple bowl of soup that was on their "specials for the day" menu. I learned shortly before my family's food was to be served that there was no soup. So I ended up just getting a pancake platter. My daughter asked, "What do these pancakes tasted like?" At the same time I was thinking myself that they were a bit off. First of all half mini cakes were way over done, and they had a deep yellow coloring to them with a tangy hard to explain flavor. They turned into a gluey mush upon the first bit. The waitress over heard us talking about them and asked if there was a problem. We explained what the problem was and she took my plate away, minus the bacon. And she allowed my daughter who said she didn't want the pancakes, to keep her plate because of the broken up pieces of bacon she was still eating. I requested toast for her instead, but nothing for myself.

The toast never came, so I had her share a piece of my other daughters toast. We got our bill and it was pretty expensive for what we had, and for the quality we got. We asked that my daughter's platter be removed from the bill, which they did. But the manager was sure to add back the bacon. Just a little petty but okay.

As we were leaving, the manager was at the register. We explained our experience, but rather than listening he cut us off and made several excuses for the poor service and sub par food. I told him about the pancakes which were like no pancakes I've ever eaten. He told me it's their homemade recipe that no one has ever complained about in 2 years. Had not been so busy cutting me off and being defensive, I would have had the opportunity to tell him that I've had decent pancakes there in the past but something was way different this time. He goes on an on, and I finally had to stop him and say "I'm your customer and I'm trying to tell you that we had a bad experience here and all you want to do is talk over me. So we won't be coming back." To which he responded that he'd rather we didn't. And my only response at that point was "Wow." And I reminded him that this a small town and word travels fast, and I'll be sure to tell anyone about our family's visit here. He said, "That's your choice". Then he continued to ramble on about something to which I responded that we were done and it's our choice now to leave, I turned my children towards the door to leave. My husband let him know that he was disrepectful for the way he was dealing with me. Next thing I know the manager is threatening to call the police. In front of my children! So of course my kids started freaking out, and I turned and let him know that he had upset our children over complaint about the service. But by then he was already on the phone.

This manager was stubborn, rude, and hateful. If you've ever seen an episode of Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare's this owner is the perfect candidate. I almost wish I could say that I was rude and that my husband was threatening to justify the call to the police so that I could explain to my kids that we (their parents deserved that kind of treatment). But we weren't and we didn't. We left. No need in sticking around to explain to the police that the manager was just being a jerk. My children's peace of mind is far too important. But if I'm at all right, he won't be owning that restaurant for long because he's a poor excuse for a restaurateur. Seriously, how do you make nasty pancakes then call the cops because your patrons told you that they weren't good. I would have recorded the whole thing on my phone, but my kids come first. Screw that place.
