| - Well, I certainly wish I had time to read reviews before dining here. I find this restaurant to be overpriced for the food they serve, I will get to the wait staff in a moment. My girlfriend and I chose this restaurant because we wanted a place to sit down and have a nice late lunch before we went to Charlotte to ride the Funny Bus. This was on the way and we left ourselves plenty of time. My girlfriend ordered the Million Dollar Cobb Salad adding a 6 oz. sirloin. She told the waiter that she did not want the bleu cheese and could he add extra of the other cheeses, he told her that he would make sure that they added a little bit of everything to make up for the bleu cheese. Satisfaction right? Not in the least. When the salad arrived at the table all I saw was lettuce a sprinkling of shredded cheeses, some chopped onion, some avocado, and 5 small strips of steak on top, and I can guarantee it was not 6 oz. Our waiter did not check back with us until we were half done with our meal. Once he did she asked for more cheese and bacon which I never saw in the first place and he told her there would be an additional charge. This is when we let him know what he had told her he was going to do about the salad in the first place was never done and then came the attitude like we were wasting his time as he set down the smallest cup of cheese I've ever seen in my life as if to say, that's all you are getting along with some ranch dressing. This was on the menu as the Million Dolar Cobb Salad for I believe it was around $14. This salad was not worth $8
I ordered the French Dip sandwich with a side of macaroni and cheese. Upon arrival, to the table, the sandwich was of good size with a nice bun, however, the Au Jus was just tepid and by the end of the sandwich, it was cold. The Mac and Cheese were served in a gravy boat style dish and was only warm also. She was having so much trouble with the salad and the waiter I knew we were tight on time at this point so I just ate it instead of sending it back. The manager came to our table to see how everything was as we were finishing up we told her about the salad the waiter and the temperature of our food. She said she wanted to make us happy so she wanted to give us a free appetizer card for the next time we were in. After paying the bill the manager never came back to the table, so we asked a waitress to find her for us. When we were just about to leave the restaurant the manager approached us and gave us both an appetizer card, I would have preferred If she had taken care of the bill because I think that would have been the proper thing to do with all the problems we had with a simple salad and a french dip sandwich with macaroni and cheese. I still tipped the waiter. We had 30 minutes to get to 7th street in Charlotte from Concord, we made it on time.
