Bridget's Cafe — Restaurant in Zumbrota

Though the food was fantastic, I could not believe how rude the staff at this resturant was. My husband and I went in there for the first time this morning. We sat at a table seeing as there was no sign saying "Please wait to be seated". So sitting there and waiting for the umm...waitress? She finally came over and told us to we can order at the counter. So we did. When we got to the counter my husband asked if he could still order breakfast seeing as it was 10:55am and they stop serving it at 11:00am. The woman behind the counter then rudely told him "By her clock it is 10:58am." Finally after about 30 seconds of our shocked silence the woman said she check with the kitchen. She came back and simply said "That's fine." I told her that she just made my husband very happy because he had been wanting pancakes all morning. She did not respond at all this. She simply told us our total for our meals. Now I don't mind paying for my meal before I eat but to fill out the tip portion on my receipt before having been served didn't seem right, but the idea of leaving it blank after getting such bad service before even being served made me think i needed to worry about wether my food might be tainted or not. So long story short, great food...

Stopped by on a Saturday mid morning. We walked in and found a seat and started to look at the menu, with both of us agreeing on "Bridget's Chicken Salad". My mother went up to the counter and ordered and the women behind the register stated that she didn't have time to make today. Back to the menus we went. I ordered tomato basil soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, my mother ordered a turkey wrap.

My soup was so bad that I couldn't take a second bite. It was so thick and the taste was just as bad. My grilled cheese wasn't even melted but that I could deal with. My mother order was just as bad. She couldn't even bite the wrap, it was so tough that she started to cut it and decided to just eat the stuff out of it. I'm assuming that she has higher reviews because we saw people ordering just coffee to go and some kind of cookie/pastry from out...

We’ve eaten at Bridget’s numerous times over the years when we come to town to shop. We’ve noticed the service has diminished. The owner is not as friendly as in the past. We aren’t local so don’t always remember the ordering protocol, that we order at the counter, do they bring drinks out or do we take them to our table, etc. Poor communication. The location is more rundown and not quite as clean. Our cashew chicken salad melt sandwiches were not edible. Tried to only eat the inside ingredients, but cubed chicken tasted dry, rubbery and microwaved and the cheese was like melted Kraft singles. I can eat pretty much anything, but the chicken tasted “off”. We politely mentioned it to our young waitress, she apologized and I noticed the owner overheard the conversation, but didn’t come over to talk to us. It’s unfortunate, but we won’t be eating...
