Sherwood Diner — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I wish I can write this review with no stars. I give the place a minus zero. Numerous times I visited this establishment and my experience has been getting more and more horrible. 1. Every time I go in there I sit in what I called the "black" or "minority" section. Two there is always an argument between the waiters and waitresses regarding who will service our table like tonight. The one Hispanic waiter that is there every night is predjudice he only want to service his kind or Caucasian. Yes I said it because it need to be said. 3. The waitress that I had tonight was horrible she took our order never made sure we got our drinks. Once she bought our food to the table after we had to wait until she finished her many conversations she dropped the food down and said is everything ok and walked away and never was to be seen again. She sat down to have a conversation with another patron in the reseturant the whole time we were looking for her because we did not get our drinks what was simple water I needed ketchup i had to ask all the other waiters that were passing through for ketchup. I had to literally get out my seat to ask another water for the drinks then had to get up again to ask the bus boy for straws. Oh and let me not forget him that just threw the complimentary food on the table like we were dogs. So now when this waitress decided to get off her ass and come to us she brings us the check and says thank you and throws the check on the table. That's why I had it expressed to the lady at the cashier how I felt and the waitress we had had the nerve to say the service today had nothing to do with color because her children are black. Hmmm it's funny that she said that when I didn't even go there yet so you know exactly where I was going with this conversation. So the lady at the cashier tells me well don't leave them a tip I'm like that's not the point your customer service sucks my money is green like everyone else. Then she proceeds to tell me next time just ask to sit on the other side. Obviously they did not get the point so I had to let them know I will not visit this place again and this will not be the only place I'm putting this I will make several other complaints and I will not let his rest because this...

I had a really bad and nasty experience at this Diner. I have some family that came from another country and I took them to the diner so that we can have some dinner. we had a waiter that it looks like he needs to retire because he could not get the order right and kept forgetting the orders. then we order some fried calamari and after we finish eating I spotted a piece that had a dead roach inside the fry batter. I took the piece to the side and then I brought it over to the manager and bring it to her attention. in the meantime the old waiter forgot to put our order in the system and the food took forever and it was pasta that only takes 15 minutes to cook and it took more than 45 minutes. The old waiter put in the order, after we got the pasta everything was great, my wife got up to see some pastries and the waiter was asking my wife about what i found and he was complaining to her that we should have brought it to his attention instead of the manager. there was nothing done on the bill or there was no apology from anybody so I really don't recommend this place to anyone it looks like a retirement home from all the waiters being as old as they are and is definitely the last time that I will eat...

Ordered flounder stuffed with crabmeat, shrimp stuffed with crabmeat and a platter which included shrimp, scallops, fish, and baked clam. There were sides of salad, soup, mashed potatoes, corn, and a baked potato. When I arrived, my food was packed and waiting for me, as we reviewed my order, they had forgotten my corn, baked potato, and mashed potatoes, the waitress was nice and she didn’t take very long but she remembered each item one at a time meaning she had to return to the kitchen 3 separate times. This was not the problem though. When I got home and began to eat; I was ridiculously disappointed! OMG, the sides were all bland and tasteless. The baked potato was burnt, it was like eating a piece of a box, just dry and tasteless, the corn was equally as bad, no flavor, and the mashed potatoes were nasty as well; we had to fix that up with butter, milk, salt, garlic, and black pepper just to tolerate it. The seafood itself was pretty good except for my fish, that was kind of dry and bland. I am so disappointed because this is a place I’ve been visiting for over 30 years and it seems like they have fallen off in the past few years. All the sides left much to...
