Country Pride — Restaurant in Maryland

This Country Pride is the best we have been to by far! Came in twice today and both times were fabulous. On our first time our waiter was attentive and funny. He was cleanly dressed and had such a positive attitude. My fiance ordered the chicken fired steak dinner. It was cook really well crispy yet not over done. Fries were actually seasoned. I ordered the chicken fried chicken dinner plate. Chicken was juicy and full of flavor. Rice was fresh and the loaded hashbrowns were perfect. On our second time dining here we came in an hour before closing (I know not so awesome of us lol) we sat down at a table that was actually in a closed section. The manager approached us and explained this but then said it was no problem he only wanted us to know so we understood why no one came to help us. We offered to move and he insisted we stay and took our drink orders. Again very well dressed and mannered. Very attentive while we placed our orders and accomadating. The salad bar was closed so we were offered a second side free for the, very minor, inconvenience. Our order came out in a very timely manner and was delicious. My fiance ordered the Jalapeno Ranch Burger with fries. Both of which were cooked perfectly. I had the Grilled Lemon Peppered Chicken dinner. Again the Chicken was flavorful and juicy the mashed potatoes were creamy and the fries seasoned. The restaurant is extremely clean and has a peacfull environment. Never felt rushed. Never experienced a long wait. Drinks were refilled promptly. Overall it was just a pleasant experience and We will deffantly be returning if we're in the area...

This review is for Wait Staff only, food was 5 star worthy. Sat down, 15 min. later was noticed by server who asked for my drink order from 30 ft. away. 6 min later I finally got my drink and was asked if I was ready to order, my reply was I yes I've waited 20 min. already. His reply was "I'm only one person" (the one person I've watched for 20 min not move from a register except in the last 6 min.) Not an I'm sorry for your wait or I apologize. Food came out 20 min later. Eggs where wrong, I'm assuming wrong because waiter was more pissed at me for pointing out my wait than LISTENING to my order. Again no apologies for order being wrong, more like a glare of death. When asked if I was done with the eggs that were not right I said yes, I didn't order them. Again look of death. Customer service isn't what it used to be. I could have been LOUD and very RUDE but by choice I wasn't and by choice he wasnt a very good waiter. I tipped more than I should have but no one should work for less than minimum wage and not sure what they pay here. This place needs to rethink their wait staff and get employees who actually do well in the customer...

This restaurant has taken a nose dive like nearly all of the TA and Petro restaurants in the country. Back when they still had a buffet and before they rolled out the less varied over priced menu the restaurant was the only good thing about having to pay to park in this pi$$ hole. Even worse was I went to order and was told that the Breakfast Classics Served All Day actually weren't being served.

To be clear, my issues with this place are entirely due to the way whoever at the corporate office decided to keep all the restaurants in the gutter like Covid was still going around and the way it has impacted us drivers, especially those of us who run at night and can no longer stop for a hot meal in the late night hours, or get an early morning breakfast after we park. The last two times I have been here recently, the servers and service have been great and, at least in my experience, the food was good too (whether it's as good as it's priced is another...
