Bad restaurant stories

You ordered spaghetti at Ledo's and expected it to be spectacular? :lmao: Just eat the crap and move on. You guys expect way to much from low budget restaurants. You get what you pay for!
I do not order spaghetti out. I've been horribly disappointed each time that I did in the past. Although, I always did like the public school cafeteria spaghetti. :lol:
The only thing Italian I ever order out around here is pizza, but only because I don't make a good crust. I make far better pasta dishes than most of the places around here.

And I never order spaghetti out. I just can't see spending that much money on something that costs so little and takes just a few minutes to prepare.

We had rectangle ground beef pizza on Fridays.


I won't lie, I loved them. Pizza day was my favorite.
We had pepperoni with a layer of grease over top of it, it took half a dozen napkins to soak it all up, but it was great afterwards.

Dear Servers, (I don't call you waiters or waitresses because you aren't that professional.)

1. Foregoing a pen and paper to help you remember my order is not impressive in the least, and will not positively affect your tip.

2. Coming back 10 minutes later and asking me what I wanted but pretending that you're "just making sure" isn't a very good lie.

3. Being overly friendly while telling me your name and saying "just yell if you need anything" doesn't help if you don't refill our drinks while waiting for the order you forgot.

I don't expect great service around here since it is so rare. Just admit you are not god's gift to food service, and use the simple tools that actually help:

1. Write down the order, even if you have to enter it into the computer.
2. Don't try to be part of my dining experience - the food and the people I am dining with are my focus. Your job is to facilitate the experience.
3. When the main seasoning in your restaurant is salt, pay attention to the drinks and refill them.

Did you go to Cracker Barrel also? I watched our server beg pens off of 4 different people, none of them would write on her pad. Instead of finding a different pad, she'll just remember it, she came back 20 minutes later "what did you order" which really sucked because at that point I owed my wife 10 bucks. On the plus side the food was good when it got there, on the minus side we were there for over an hour waiting for a bacon cheeseburger and one of the specials, but it was comped.

Sounds about like my last experience there.

Even after all the bad reviews, people still go there. Baffling.
