Lake City Drive In — Restaurant in Lake City

You might want to read this review before you park your car. Typical food, nothing original, mostly from corporate food distributors. Daily lunch deals might be worth looking at. Stay away from the onion "rings" they are more like onion straws, think of breaded sprouts, deep fried. The concept is awesome, the execution was greasy.

OK I've eaten here three times now and all three were a trainwreck. (I practice the 3 strike and you`re out!)

If I were going to title this review I would call it "Why even try?" or "Is there no pride in the kitchen?"

Let me start by saying, save your customers some trouble by adding a little information to your menu. Simple short description of the items would be helpful. I ordered a "beef and cheese" you tell me what that might look like, I'll give you a minute to think about it . . . Out comes a protein patty of some sort on a bun that they spread with a little margarine and tossed on the grill. Appetizing huh? No one asked " do you want a little onion, tomato, pickle?" A little advice from a foodie, a little presentation can make a crappy meal look good. Ask yourself as a chef/cook what if the president was coming in to eat, would I serve this to him? (Customer is King) Back to the potential diner, I knew this thing would still be on my plate when I left, so I made a tear in It to find a grey meat and a space where a piece of processed American cheese had melted into oblivion. Well that was a enough for me. Pass! I neglected to take a photo of it, but trust me you didn't want to see it anyway. I sat and ate the fries then we got up to pay. Here's where the pride part comes in, as we where standing waiting to pay the manager came out to clear the table looked down at the sandwich, picked up the Plate and headed to the kitchen. Again I ask you to take a moment and pretend you are her. You look down at the plate and see a completely untouched sandwich, the customer is still standing in the restaurant. Now do you. . . a) ask the customer "would you like a carry out container" b) ask yourself maybe I should ask if there was a problem. c) go whatever, as long as they pay? Man for all I know they just put it in the fridge for the next unsuspecting goof that orders the "beef and cheese" Take my advice, go 10 blocks East and hit the Sparky's gas station, their stuff comes from the same food factories, costs less and tastes...

Normally, me and my husband bring our daughter here often for lunch dates and love it here. However, this time specifically, we had probably the worst waitress I’ve ever had… The whole time she took our order, she was rushing us the entire time and she was very rude asking us what we wanted. She basically yanked the menu out of my hands after I ordered. May I note- we were the only ones in the restaurant. It was not busy at all.

Fast forward to bringing us our food, she practically threw the food on the table. Didn’t make eye contact with us, didn’t gently set it infront of us, she threw my husbands food infront of me and walked away. The cook ended up bringing me my food.

Not once through the entire meal did she check up on us or ask how the food was or if we needed anything. She never smiled at us while interacting or anything remotely nice. It’s absolutely okay to have a bad day and not be at work some times… but when you have a job that 100% relies on your performance as a waitress to get tips, maybe don’t treat your customers poorly.

If we do come back to this place, I truly do hope we get another waitress or she acts differently...

Amazing food, if you want a daily hand pattied burger and fresh veggies to go on it- this is the place to go. I have tried everything on the menu, everything is amazing. You have to keep in mind that not everything is homemade! Pizza burgers, beef and cheese, chicken strips etc. those are all frozen fried foods! The tenderloins are freshly made and tenderized by the owner and the breaded chicken sandwiches are as well! Excellent quality food and service. Just like any restaraunt there might be a wait the busier it gets, but thats nothing anybody that works there can control! The location is great for football games and other...
