I always find it hard to write a bad review. It's even tougher in your home town. It was very busy, the help wanted sign out front should have been a clue. My first experience at Bad Apple may well be my last. Our group of 4 arrived and the place was packed. We sat at a cleared, but dirty table. it went down from there.
Sat at a dirty table for 15+ min without anyone taking a drink order or cleaning table.
From the time we sat to the time our food was delivered it was 80 min. One single comment that they are plating your food now, and 10 min later our food arrived. My Italian sandwich (hot) was good. Lots of meat and was warm. That's the best item. The hamburger was super well done and was supposed to be medium. Potato chips were supposed to be potato salad .. had to ask for the potato salad. The fish cakes were NOT done and removed from bill. Fish undercooked. Scary. The pork loin casserole was drowning in oil but had a huge piece of pork. No greens and a very sad roll. See plating pic. Only one water was refilled and no apologies from anyone. We had to ask about our food - twice. Meanwhile the cooks, in full view, were eating and cooking at the same time . One cook, or food prep person, was dressed in running gear. Again, these are observations. A two or three year old restaurant should know when they are over booked and understaffed. They should inspect the plates and talk to the customers. We did not even get a thanks or a sorry on the way out. Clearly they knew they struggled that night but made very few amends.
Clearly the mgt was more interested in their large groups then the table of 4 hungry locals. I feel sorry if out of town folk had a similar experience. It's a small town and there aren't many options.
