I was looking for a place for breakfast ( being new to the area) and was told Blondies was the place to go.... Sadly, I didn't feel in the end the same way. One of the main reasons I am only giving a 2 out of five stars are these two reasons: 1)Service :I got there about 9am this past Friday and was writing in my work ledger, when the first interaction I had with anyone, was the waitress ( whom I was told was one of the owners) sliding a menu across the table at me and walking right by without a word. Being in the food service industry for over 12+ years.... not the best start to making me feel welcome. When she was talking to me she was nice but I felt rushed, like she rather continue talking to her regular customers, than me, as someone just passing through( unknowing I was new to the area and trying to find my new Friday breakfast spot). Through the time I was there, her main focus was toward the regular cusotmers and I was just a "side note". I witnessed other customers having to call to her over from other tables, for also being overlooked, as she was sitting/ leaning against a table chatting with customers she clearly knew. 2) I ordered the steak and eggs (which came with homefries and toast); I asked if I could substitute the two sides for a single pancake, and it was a clear "no, that they don't even out..." So I got a pancake on the side. Than the food came out, which did come out in a reasonable amount of time, but wasn't the best. The $14.99 I paid for the dish, I didn't feel was worth it, the steak had a good amount of fat and gristle on it and the two eggs barely looked like two eggs. I was happy with the pancake that was the size of a plate, because that is the thing that filled me up; not this 10oz "ribeye" steak. The steak didn't look like a ribeye based on the cut, nor did it look like nearly a half a pound. ( quality was poor/fair)

I tried the place and will be going somewhere else, wasn't nearly close to the worse place out there, but not worth me going back ( unless you are already a regular, which I am not). I paid $22 in the end, and yes that included a $3 tip, because I won't be an a**hole and leave nothing. I felt the meal was worth $10 (not including the pancake) and will find another Friday breakfast place as a new resident in the local area.

Response to owners Response: To whom it concerns, I can understand how a bad review can effect a business and with writing my review I caution the consumer; that is why I write reviews. I would have pulled you aside if I could have gotten your attention for more than a few minutes; but again like my comment above stated, the attention stayed continually on what seemed like the regular customers ( when very briefly you would address me to see if everything was ok. 4x during the 1 hour and 45minute stay at your diner) My review lets the consumer be cautious; my review didn't give you a one-star and completely write you off; I wouldn't want the next individual to have the experience I had. And yes, working in the food industry, you feel I should have pulled you aside...I barely saw you as my waitress, let alone had the time to wait to have you come back to pull you aside to have a sit down conversation on my experience. One of the two of the food service jobs I occupy is management in a catering company; and we don't get the chance to try again. The food industry can be a hard one, as you know. And we must always be at least on our B-game if anything. I may try the place again, but with the last review by someone 2 weeks ago on how the food hasn't gotten better ( it seems) we will see. Good luck with the business and again reviews are people's opinions, they caution the consumer on our experinece; as I too face within my corporations.
