| - My mom suggested going here tonight and although I was not really enthused, I went along for the ride.
My parents really like this place in general. They come here pretty often.
The service was slow, which is odd because we got here before six p.m. on a Friday night and the place was pretty dead. We did not leave until after 7:30 and we are fast eaters.
The service was also... annoying. I'm not the type to like places where they dance or sing. Beyond that annoyance... the server called me "Sweetie" and "Sweetheart,' neither of which I welcomed or appreciated... especially coming from someone younger than me. If she was in her sixties, maybe it would not have bothered me. It just came off as condescending. I know I look young, but stick to calling the kids "Sweetie" and not the adults. THANK YOU.
As far as the food, the appetizer was good. My stepdad liked his crab steampot. My mom ordered my kiddo two kids' meals (that's another story) and my kiddo just ate her mac n' cheese (likely Kraft). I had the fish and shrimp. Fried shrimp, fried fish and fried... fries.
When my food arrived, it was just dropped without anyone asking if we needed anything else. We did, but we figured the waitress would come back to ask us within a couple minutes. I like to eat shrimp and fish with lemon and I needed ketchup for my fries. I did not see the waitress for more than 10 minutes. By the time she returned with my condiments, my food was cold.
The fish in my meal was just gross. I ate one bite and could not eat any more of it. The shrimp was fine.
The manager came by a couple times to check on us, but even seeing our empty glasses did not offer to get us refills. We had waited for more than 15 minutes for drinks before our server refilled them. My mom waited longer for her water refill. In fact, the server forgot it twice.
I won't be coming here again unless my folks beg! I typically can't stand eating at national chain restaurants and this one was no exception.
