The Garden Patch Restaurant — Restaurant in Sparta Township

Our service tonight was horrible. We waited 10 minutes before any one came to our table with menus and to get our drinks When it was time to place our order due to the wait to even place drinks we decided to order everything at once our appetizers, drinks, main courses. When attempting to order our waitress asked if we could slow down and was observed by a member of our party rolling their eyes. Our waitress brought our drinks, water and 2 sodas and then everything at once appetizer and main course. They never came back to check on us or refill our drinks which were empty half way through our meal and was observed by us walking by us and helping surrounding tables and appearing to intentionally avoid and ignore us. While we were dining it appeared that people around us were getting menus and drink orders immediately upon arrival eventhough it was the same 2 waitresses the whole time we were there. We had to go to the bar to get our check and when the bar tender went to ask our waitress what table we were, again the waitress was observed rolling her eyes and appearing obviously annoyed with us. This visit was a disappointment as we have had stellar service always and no problems like we experienced tonight. I understand they were extremely busy tonight but so disappointed. The food was great as always and eventhough our server lacked in all ways tonight, we did leave a small tip for them because after all they to need to make a living but hopefully the next time we come back this server will be a little better at doing their job and have learned to serve all customers the same even when they may be short...

Love the bowling alley. Love the chicken tenders (they're genuinely amazing). The menu really needs a revival. They seem to be doing a good job of being cost efficient, and there are a few things that are obviously made in the kitchen where other restaurants might buy frozen crap. So kudos there.

But take the Fish Tacos for instance. The fish and the batter is actually pretty great, but serving it in a mediocre tortilla with GFS cole slaw and sauce genuinely makes the whole dish worse. Either ditch the tortillas and just sell killer fish and chips, or give me something novel in the tacos. Bake or pan cook the fish and slice it, then give me a lightly dressed shredded cabbage slaw, some pickled onions and carrots and some sort of spicy cream sauce.

There's stuff like this all over the menu, and I feel like with just a little consideration it...

I have dined there multiple times due to good food and service. I chose to go there for my birthday and had the 4 pc fish special and I must say it was great. Most of the time when you get fish by the time you get to the 2nd PC it's soggy on the bottom, every pc on my plate was crispy and not a bit greasy. The hush puppies were light, crispy, with a hint of sweet and served with a honey butter dip and the red skin potatoes were seasoned perfect and fried to a golden brown. Both hubby and I ordered the same thing and the bill came in under $25 which we thought was very reasonable for all we were served. Our waitress Abbey was friendly, attentive, and was spot on with our order. I would highly recommend the Garden Patch if you're looking for both good food...
