| - My friends had been raving about Messini's gyros and fries for weeks and weeks by the time I finally went with them, unfortunately I didn't have a chance to see what they were raving about.
We were sat quickly enough, just after 1:30pm on a weekday, most of us ordered the special which comes with fries or salad, pop and a gyros. After about twenty minutes the salads came. Decent enough, nothing too special, but they didn't scrimp on the feta so we were pleased.
But forty minutes later, less so. We'd been trying to get the attention of our server and had noticed that many other tables were returning food and complaining, so we were in fine company. I went to the front to speak with the cashier since our server had been ignoring us and the second I got to the cashier she runs in, waving me back and telling me that they're swamped. (Funny though, two tables who came in later were served and eating gyros way before we were, it wasn't full, but we were still gyro-less.)
It became evident that they had lost our order and forgotten about us. Instead of apologizing the server blamed the cashier and we received a new order in about 10 minutes. By the time it came to settle up we were a bit peeved but at least full. Going to pay, they had combined our bills instead of splitting them up as we requested, alright, so as we were figuring out how much we all owed, the cashier cut in, "You don't understand the bill? 5$ ISN'T enough (Referring to money I was swapping with a friend) don't you see? You had 3 items, this was $5, this was $8,..." The condescending attitude was icing on the cake.
Sure, the gyros was tasty but not enough for the time and attitude.
