El Centenario — Restaurant in Vidalia

As a local guide to this area I HIGHLY, HIGHLY DO NOT recommend this restaurant if you are looking to eat in peace & enjoy your hardearned money. This place isn't for us normal everyday people, especially if you have young kids, DO NOT go to this restaurant. I am a top guide in my area & I know the restaurants here & all of them are better than this one. Im responding to the person who left message frm this restaurant, my friend who has an online local guide site left the original message but now im leaving my own response. I was here eating after leaving frm having a long medical procedure due to my disability & was only there to have a bite 2 eat & margarita. And the entire time I was there not once did i speak rudely or impolitely to any staff member even when the meal was not completely as ordered we were still polite & I have never been to a restaurant that thinks it rude to ask questions about the food you pay 4 I even apologized to the waitress ahead of time if I seemed to have a loud voice & explained its due to me living with people who are hard of hearing & when u spend most of your time speaking in that tone sometimes you 4get to lower your voice when you are speaking to regular hearing people. And what kind of place complains that a 20month old little girl is laughing 2 loud & bothering people, she's a child. And I was never rude until I was verbally attacked for no good reason except the lies they tried to tell. Then to call the cops on 2 disabled women and a child is ridiculous. I never got up frm our table except to ask 4 our waitress when we wanted to get something. This restaurant created a big scene & turned the incident into something unprofessional & unethical as a customer service based business. I am a local business owner & would never treat my customers in this manner. This place called the cops on us because our voices were loud cause we were laughing & until that moment enjoying our evening & yes i admitted my voice may have been louder than some peoples but we explained why & apologized & that should have been an understandable instance most professionals would have understood. What has happened to our world where people can't talk to you instead of attacking you with lies because they don't think your money is good enough for their place. My friend was on video call the entire time and has it all recorded how they acted and now how they are trying to lie in response to me putting their behavior on blast. None of this should have ever happened because we never did anything to warrant the treatment we received frm this 0 star restaurant. If 0 stars could have been given i would have given them a -4. Just cause a person has a loud tone to their voice doesn't mean they are intentionally trying to yell or be loud, maybe they live with family who are hard of hearing, next time you should ask & listen & try 2 b understanding. And they claimed they told us several times we were talking 2 loud which is a lie, I am the one who mentioned my own tone & why my voice may sound loud. After that no one said anything until the so called manager walked up & said we needed to leave out of no where while we were trying to finish our meal & get our things together & verbally attacked us accusing us of being rude & impolite which was an out right lie cause not once was anything disrespectful said to any staff member & when i ask each staff member I had any interaction with if I had been rude to them & each one stood in the manager face & denied i had said anything rude to them. So being the truth was out that manager had no cause to escalate the situation the way she did for no reason. So in my final thoughts as a top tier local guide, DO NOT eat at this restaurant. If you want to enjoy your hard earned money folks around here struggle to put a little aside to go enjoy a meal out with friends & family once in a while this IS NOT the place you want to spend your money. Go somewhere they will appreciate the fact you chose to spend ur money that is hard 2 come by in this economy. My review is the...

Went in around 1, not many people there so wait time wasn’t as bad. The food though wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. Over marinated, salty, small portioned. I couldn’t even tell the chicken from the steak from it being so overly marinated with some red sauce. It just wasn’t what I expected from a meal. I felt like the plate I was served was a lunch portion, when I got charged for a dinner portion, but hey they’re the ones who bring out the food right? At least have the decency to charge what you bring to the customer & not charge them a dinner meal when you bring out a lunch sized meal. I wouldn’t come back honestly, this restaurant looks like it’s going downhill since they did they’re “grand opening” The beginning of this restaurant opening was great, but I see less people coming here & now I see why. Sorry, but I rather spend my money a few minutes down the road to Lyons & eat...

My husband and I have eaten there twice before this last time we found hair in his food! We alerted the manger. He first asked do you want another plate we looked at him like he was crazy! Then he said he would take it to the back to investigate? When he came back he didn’t acknowledge us and just breezed past us. Finally we got his attention and he asked if we wanted a check we said yes. We looked at it and it still had the rung up plate of food that had the hair! My husband took it to the front and politely said we wouldn’t be paying for that plate of food and the manger stated well all my employees don’t have beards or facial hair and there hair was up! He stated are you accusing us of putting the hair in the food he said “no” and took it off overall we won’t...
