| - I normally wouldn't write a review for a local chain restaurant like Eat n' Park. In fact, I really try not to eat at any chain restaurants, but Mom and Sis' like the french toast. So, the reason for the post... I went there today for a late breakfast with my family. It's a sunday morning, so we expect to wait. That's no big deal. We wait for about 20 minutes to get a table and are seated. The waitress arrives promptly and since we're trying to make it to a movie we place our order right away. She seems nice at first and the coffee arrives quickly,,, so far so good.... 10 min, 20 min, 30 min... and no refill on the coffee or water, 40 min...waitress comes by to tell us it will be right up, 50 min, 55 min., looks like we're missing IronMan and I'm gonna be forced to endure the Patrick Dempsey chick flick... finally Mom gets up and finds the waitress who argues with her that it's only been 25 minutes... (Huh?). Then says she'll send over the manager. The manager arrives tells us they are really busy and her other manager is in the back cooking(Umm, sorry for your troubles, but having the waitress argue with the customer instead of a simple sorry has nothing to do with you being short staffed). She offers to pay for our breakfast (which is now lunch due to the wait)... Really! You'll comp. the $3.99 Breakfast smile. How Generous! No thanks, you've just wasted an hour of our lives that we'll never get back. We leave and I'm stuck eating goobers and watching the McDreamy flick.
The food is what you'd expect. Nothing worth commenting on and as I just mentioned the only thing I got to try today was the coffee. The only reason I'm giving it two stars instead of one is for my childhood nostalgia for the smiley cookies.
