| - This pains me to write - as I REALLY REALLY wanted to love this place.
The corn bread muffins have gotten so many insane reviews that it was the ONLY reason I wanted to go to this place one Sunday afternoon. Now - onto the disappointing part: Perhaps it was the time of day that we went to the Indian Land location (It was around 4 p.m.), but the staff literally ALL treated us as if we were bothering them.... or as if we owed them a million apologies for being patrons. There was one waitress that stood out from the crowd and was remarkably helpful, but she wasn't waiting on our table. That said, the food was mediocre. Our yummy corn muffins came out cold with a delivery message of, "these are fresh out of the oven" (no, they were NOT). They really aren't good if they're not hot..... I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and when the delivery was a burger with bacon, the woman seemed completely annoyed with me. I profusely apologized, noted it definitely wasn't mine and she kept asking, "are you sure" - uh... yes, I know what I ordered. When she came back a few minutes later (clearly with the same cold fries and a new burger) she said, "I understand you didn't want the bacon" - the mushroom Swiss burger doesn't come with bacon!! Wow. What a way to treat customers in a way that makes them want to come back ~ geez. When we asked for more corn muffins, we received a noteworthy fresh, hot batch. MUCH MUCH better. Upon leaving, we were all soured with the service that we really couldn't tell you how the rest of the food was. Our child was enamored with the Mac & cheese, but he said the French fries were ice cold and not-tasty enough for his young taste buds. I really hope they pull it together. Their location is great - (especially to pull away from the Ballantyne crowd) and I know the Steele Creek location has tremendous service. Fingers crossed, but I can assure we won't be back for at least a few months.
