| - My mom bought my fiance and I a Groupon for A Thyme For All Seasons, and we finally got around to using it today. I can't say I was too impressed. My fiance got the pulled pork sandwich, and I ordered the Tex Mex salad. We also both ordered a cup of the white chili. The chili was pretty bland and didn't have any sauce to it - I felt like I was just eating a cup of ground meat. Kinda weird. The salad was very bland. The chipotle dressing didn't have much flavor, nor did any of the ingredients in the salad (corn, roasted red peppers). The chicken on top was pretty dry and cold. My fiance's pulled pork sandwich was generic, and the roll it came on was stale. His fries were cold.
In terms of atmosphere, I expected something different. The restaurant's website portrays it as something more upscale than it was, or at least with a different vibe. Instead, it was a room with mostly white walls, a black ceiling, and crappy dining sets. Sure, the food is pretty cheap and I don't expect much... but come on, the ceiling tiles look like they have been spray-painted.
On the upside, the waitress was very friendly and helpful. And hey, I got the Groupon as a gift, so I'm thankful. But would I come again and pay full price? Not a chance. Two stars.
EDIT: In the interest of full disclosure, the manager of A Thyme For All Seasons contacted me and offered to have me come back in for a better experience. Although I have not been back (it's a pretty far drive for me), I bumped the rating up a star because I appreciate managers who are willing to try to make things right for the customer. I have also heard that things have gotten better in recent months, so take my review with a grain of salt.
