- Bad Meal
This Memorial Day Weekend me and my Roomate decided to have dinner there. It was a huge mistake. The moment we walked into that restaurant I sensed uneasiness. None of the Waitresses at the front desk greeted us with a freindly smile. While waiting for a table I noticed the decor was dilapidated. The rug was dingy and the place reeked of cigarette smoke and mold. I would have walked out of that place but it was late in the evening and me and my roomate spent a great deal of time searching for a restuarant to eat and by the time we got there we were hungry and tired. Anyways, after waiting a few minutes in the lobby for a table, an older waitress around 70 years old, asked us how many in our party and if we preferred a non-smoking table. We decided on a non-smoking table but it didn't really matter. There was a fine cloud of cigarette smoke enveloping the whole dining area. She then escorted us to our seats. When she pointed out our table to us she sprayed our seats with a cleaning solution from a spray bottle she was holding before we sat down and didnt bother to wipe it up. We were offended but we eventually sat at our table in hopes the food would at least compensate for her rudeness. Then, another Waitress comes to our table to set tableware and offer drinks. She was a very heavy set oranged haired pale skinned middled aged woman wearing no make up who reminded me of the Bob's Big Boy Mascot. Almost immediately I noticed she did not like me. She gave me a nasty sneer after I told her I would like a Coke. When she returned she politely tore open the wrapping and placed a straw into the glass for my roomate but threw the straw on the table at me. Then abruptly does an about face and marches off. A little while after, a waiter comes and takes our meal order. While we were waiting for our food we decided to have refills on our drinks. To my disatisfaction, the same heavy set orange hair waitress comes to our table and offers refills. She gladly agreed to refill my roomates drink but informed me, teasingly, it would cost me $5.00 for a refill even though refills are free on the menu. At this point I felt very insulted and highly offended. I told her flatly she wasnt worth the $5.00 and I would not pay her one cent for a coke refill. Amused and obviously aroused by my frustration, she then leaves to retrieve our refills. I then told my roomate that I felt she may do something to my drink, perhaps to make me ill, since I had a bad feeling about her and she did not like me. When she came back and put my glass on the table I told her that if it was safe to drink. She never answered me. hmmmmmmmmmm. I didn't drink my coke after all. Finally, our food order is served to us. Not suprisingly, it was absolutely horrible. My roomate's pork chop was undercooked and not cooked to order. My fried chicken tasted like cardboard. Both our mashed potatoes had this gravy on it that to me tasted chalky like milk of magnesia. It was a complete disaster. Unfortunately, when I thought things couldn't get any worse, an other waitress passes right by our table while we were poking our meal with a fork for any edible portions. In a loud humorous tone, she inquires a drunk group of men, sitting a few feet from us, "Ok who is the one who Threw Up in here"!! I immediately felt like puking myself. In all my dining experiences this was the worst place ever!!!. I will never eat here again and I regret ever dining here. These people even had the nerve to charge me for the meal in spite of the horrible service we received. Beware!! Eating at this restuarant you are not only taking a chance of receiving outrageously poor service you're also taking a risk with your health i.e. food poisoning with the horrible food they serve and or respiratory problems i.e. asthma with the second hand smoke you're forced to breath in. This restaurant should be closed by the Board of Health.
