| - Okay, why was there such a long wait? We got so bored, we counted the empty seats in the place, and there were more empty seats than people waiting in line. A former waitress, I thought maybe they were understaffed, but by time we were sat, they sat to capacity, so that confused me even more as to why we had to wait 20 minutes to be sat.
Our waitress took our order, but accidentally forgot to get my husband's. It took us a few minutes to track her back down to get her to take his order, too, so his food came out later than the rest of us, which was kind of weird. How do you forget the 4th person's order at a table. Again, former waitress, and I don't get it.
That said, the grilled cheese and fries were fine. I mean, it's grilled cheese. I'm vegetarian so this wasn't the kind of place that caters to me, which is cool. If you're into the meat, this is the place for you. Their sandwiches were approximately nine inches tall, no joke. It was unlike anything I've ever seen before.
I think I'd still like to try the real Carnegie Deli, though, because I somehow got the feeling this wasn't a good representation of the Carnegie name. Service was lacking, wait time was illogical, and cleanliness wasn't the restaurant's forte. I'll get back to you on all this after I check out another Carnegie Deli.
