Al's Hum-Dinger — Restaurant in Hoquiam

I've been here three times and each time I have been here, the entire staff seems extremely depressed. We are talking they don't look you in the eye and they looked really sad and this is no understatement. Each time I come here and feel really sorry for them because they seem really sad and they only seem to hire women. Why do you not have any men working for you? What is up with that Also? Why are your employees so extremely unhappy. Every time I come here they act like it's a huge effort and I'm an inconvenience when I'm here. I feel like I'm bothering you by giving you my business. I genuinely feel sorry for these people who are working here and as another business owner of a big company I think you're really failing here. I don't enjoy coming here even though I live just up the street and would prefer to make a sandwich or go without. I feel like it's an inconvenience to take my order and all three times I've come, the food really wasn't good. I also think it's really weird that you put sweet relish on burgers and I spoke to other towns folk and they have a tendency to agree with me. Actually I spoke to 3 people on they all agree it's me that it's really weird to put that on your food. That's just Personal Taste and I don't want that to affect your rating. And just don't like coming in here and seeing people who look like they're about to bust up and start crying. Sounds like management isn't doing their job. Your burger prices seem decent though and I'll give you that and your food isn't terrible but it just isn't all that great. I think you should do something once a month to cheer these people up I am sorry for the spelling mistakes and bad grammar.

I’d give 0 stars if I could. They ask for tips after being rude, also shouldn’t even be asking to begin with, complain about the amount they get and serve undercooked food which caused me to get extreme food poisoning. NEVER GOING BACK. Editing as it won’t let me reply to the owner, they implied I was lying about the food being underdone and getting sick from it as if I knew that was going to happen somehow. I don’t think these people realize how food poisoning works. I obviously didn’t KNOW the food wasn’t fully cooked as I was eating it, it seemed fine. I was iffy about it because of how quickly it was “done” less than 10 minutes after I ordered two burgers and fries. I was quickly met with an argument when I returned for my refund and all the staff ran up to question me about it. First off, why would you even want half eaten food back? Is this some type of way to try to blame the customer for your lack of service and knowing how to cook food properly? Never in my life have I had such a terrible experience somewhere and be made to feel like I made the whole thing up. I was seen by the doctor for the illness and was confirmed it was food poisoning which CAN last anywhere from 24 hours to several days. Just because I was well enough to go to the location to get my money back doesn’t mean I was not still sick. These people including the “owner” are an absolute joke. Rudest people I have ever Met. They also argued with me when I asked for my tip money back as well and previous times I have been here and left a tip the employees always complain about the amount instead of being grateful they...

Update,

I stopped by on Saturday afternoon after fishing at Lake Aberdeen, and they had the two items I wanted. I got a large mushrooms and a large buzzard. They were hot and delicious. A bit heavy on the salt, but good with ice-cold lemonade.

This is a nice pit stop with a good selection of fast food. However, on our way back from Seaside, Oregon to Seattle, WA my wife and I tried calling multiple times before stopping by no one picked up the phone. It was Tuesday around 3 pm we decided to stop by for two things; fried mushrooms and gizzard. They ran out of gizzards. So, we ordered the mushrooms and headed home. It was one of those things/ days, it took us a little over an hour or so just to make it across the bridge. Traffic was heavy.

I would have given this place another star if I got the fried gizzard and a restroom for the customers to use. The long trip there is not worth it unless you are on your way to or from the ocean shores. This doesn't make any difference, but the waiter took food to others sitting in their cars. Ours, the waiter made some gestures for us to go and get our food from the little window, knee-high.

We love their food and will stop on our way to the shores or when we go fishing...
