Tarmac Lounge And Restaurant — Restaurant in Laurel

Let me start by saying that I am disappointed. And I rate this place 4 over 10. Normally I don’t like giving reviews. But I have to do this one because I paid almost $100 for my food yesterday and I am disappointed real disappointed. I am from out of state and I saw this restaurant on Google. I called to order four different type of dish for my family. Efor riro with Eba, okra soup and Eba, and another side of eba half isiewu (half goat head), and Asaro (yam Porridge) thinking the food will be as good as they have 4.5 good reviews. The food was a disaster. The okra soup is like one or 2 scoops of serving spoon of soup and it looks watered down so bad, I mean the soup is really small. The efor riro does taste anything like Yoruba efor riro it taste awful, I’m not a your person but if me as an outside is saying the efor is bad Believe on my mothers life the food is bad. The efor riro is the same thing as okra soup it’s watered down and it’s just one or 2 scoops full of serving spoon. The isiewu is manageable and the asaro is blah. But the time I got to my Airbnb they it’s late i was so mad and I threw the efor riro soup and okra soup along with the Eba in the trash…. I don’t know if this was because it was on a Sunday and they have to scrape bottom pot of soup I don’t know even know. And if they say it will be ready in 15-20 mins know it’s a lie it took them over 45mins to have it ready. If I had know I would have eat the food there: this place is a ripoff. Stay away from the place if you know what good food taste like if not it will spoil...

If only there was a way to rate this place zero stars!! I came to a party hosted by this restaurant yesterday and let me say that it was the absolute worst experience I've ever had at any establishment in my entire time on planet earth. We paid $20 to enter only to find that we would never receive service. The cashier/bartender/waitress/manager was unable to do any of her titles successfully. Her infractions included but are not limited to; rudeness, ignoring patrons, serving people out of order, and limiting the drink selections. On top of all that she was very unhospitable, rude, and snarky. Naturally after waiting 30 mins to place a drink order at the bar I questioned how long would it take to place order. She replied by saying that the people she was serving came first which was a total fabrication. She then paused for 3 secs (as if she was restraining herself from saying something rude)and gave me a Claire Huxtable side eye and said that she was doing the best she could as she rolled her eyes and started speaking in her native language. Then she proceeded to complete the other patrons order without even returning to me so I could then place an order. At that point I decided to leave. This place was not going to get any of my coins. I was told that the lady operating the bar was the owner or manager....not sure if it was or not. If so shame on her for operating such a janky and low -class business. There is a lot she could learn about interpersonal communication, business operation, and customer satisfaction. Don't waste your money...

I am writing this review while still at the restaurant, feeling compelled to share my disappointing experience. I ordered the jollof rice with dark meat, but unfortunately, my request was ignored. Instead, I served chicken breasts, and when I raised the issue, the staff argued with me about the meat type. I decided to order the suya with jollof rice as an alternative, only to be surprised when my food was served on a plastic plate, which was unexpected for a dining establishment.

To add to my disappointment, when the bill arrived, I noticed that I was still charged for the jollof rice with chicken that I didn't eat!!!!! When I brought this to the attention of the manager, I was informed that the restaurant offers both white and dark meat options. If this is indeed the policy, it should have been communicated to me by the waitress who assured me that the jollof rice came with dark meat.

Despite my husband's willingness to pay for the meal and add a tip, I declined as I do not believe in rewarding poor service. This decision seemed to upset the waitress, who was on the verge of arguing with me. I politely informed her that my husband would not be leaving a tip as per my request.

Overall, the food was mediocre, the service was subpar, and the wait time for assistance was excessive. I would advise others to avoid this establishment to save themselves from a similar experience. This has been the worst dining experience I have ever...
