This place is exactly what you expect form local diner, sticky tables, dirty floor, happy fat chicks, friendly faces, lack of service, and carb loading central! This may be Escabona’s favorite local diner, definitely not mine.
The scrambled eggs had eggshells in them but served as an added bonus for what was to come... bacon that was so undercooked, Kevin Bacon couldn’t even save them... the pancakes were something out of a horror movie. They are dry like the Sierra desert, and crumble into a million pieces like the rubble from the Silverdome’s implosion. The only way to contain the massive mess it to bless the god forsaken cakes from hell with a holy dose of high fructose corn syrup... aka the mystery syrup bottle on the table. My nightmare came true once I realized too late I began suffering form diabetic ketoacidosis. My breath smelled like an entire pack of juicy fruit as I had enfough and threw in the towel as I asked for my check.
The only saving grace was the coffee that was served only once, no refills, nothing. Oh an the explosive diarrhea that was brought on for a continuous 5 hours made my 10 hour drive home a roadrip from hell! Only a lumberjack with giant balls could eat at this diner. I would definitely go back for the coffee! That...
Read moreIt started out being really nice we placed our order the restaurant was clean the waitress seemed to have more than a third grade education and decent equilibrium. Well our food took about 20 minutes to get to us when she got there she dropped my garlic bread on the floor yes she apologized for it then it took her an additional 25 minutes to replace it apparently she was having a problem with the cook trying to give her something else. So with that being an acceptable solution we ate our food and placed an order for some sandwiches to go a burger and a wrap and ask her if there was any possible way we could get salt in the packets to take with us she said absolutely no problem we'll take care of it. Well we got to our hotel room and found twenty20 package of pepper none of the salt apparently this Gail needs to go back and learn to read S&P and there are a difference between them as being solved P being pepper I understand the principle of hiring the mentally challenged and disabled but not when it comes to putting your business on the line hire more competent people and I'm sure your business...
Read moreMy fiance & I stopped at The Family Inn on our way home from our Camp yesterday and was very disappointed. It's been a number of years since I've been to The Family Inn and I won't be back. After we sat at the booth it took a long time for our waitress to bring us menus and offer us something to drink. When she returned with our beverages we asked for a minute to look over the menu. 10 minutes later she returned. After we placed our order, we waited 50 minutes (not an exaggerration) to get our food. The restaurant was less than half-full when we ordered with numerous tables & booths available and no one sitting at the counter. Our waitress did not come to our table once to refresh our drinks or explain why the long wait for the food. Instead she leaned on the counter or the cashier stand and avoided our table, as well as her other tables in our section.
