| - My friends have always told me how cool and amazing Supermarket is.
Guess what? It's not.
Maybe they were talking about clubbing or whatever, but I'm not talking about the dance floor. I'm talking about their food! I'm talking about their customer service!
I came here with three other people on a Sunday at 5. Their menu looked way too overpriced for the quality of food I knew I would be getting, but whatever, it was a nice day and we were enjoying a nice day at a new bar.
I'm just looking at their website right now, and it's crazy how cool and nice the restaurant seems, but don't do it. It's a fucking trap. (Go to Trinity Commons instead).
I ordered the fish tacos (2 for $11). My boyfriend got the green curry, my friend got the burger and our fourth person ordered the steak.
My dish was mediocre (fish lacked really any flavor) and my boyfriend's green curry didn't have rice. (Excuse, thai curry with no rice/!??!), but I think the worst part was my friend's burger. Burger Friend asked me if it was okay to eat the patty if the inside was a deep red color. Clearly, the patty was red on the inside. I consulted my boyfriend and we came to a somewhat consensus that maybe the patty was medium rare/rare. I told Burger Friend that it should be okay.
Burger Friend was not that satisfied with my response, so he asked the waitress if the burger was undercooked.
And the waitress said with attitude and cockiness, "Oh we cook all our burgers like that. It's medium. Most people like medium so we cooked the burger as medium. If you want it more done, I can take it back."
Burger Friend said, "Nah, don't worry. As long as I can eat it and won't get sick, it's fine."
And throughout this whole exchange, I was like: O_O
MEDIUM??? MEDIUM?!??!?! (Gordon Ramsay's voice came out: "IT'S FUCKING RAWWW!!!")
THERE WAS NO WAY IN HELL THE BURGER WAS MEDIUM. As a quite experienced home cook (at least I like to think I am), I KNEW that the burger was not a medium.
I pulled out my phone and googled what a medium burger looked like. Lo and behold, the burger my friend had WAS DEFINITELY NOT A MEDIUM. And according to the pictures, the burger looked more rare than medium rare.
I still CANNOT believe the girl, who is a waitress, DID NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MEDIUM BURGER AND A RARE BURGER. THAT IS SCARY.
Food business owners: please educate your waiters and waitresses.
I am appalled.
The steak that came to our fourth friend was equally as horrendous. The steak looked like it was cut in half from what you would think a piece of sliced steak usually looks like. It seemed like they were running low on steak or they were stingy with their portions because steak is expensive. The rest of her plate was overloaded with salad and fries.
I will never go back.
This place currently has a 2/5, (which is a terrible rating already), but if my friend gets a bad stomach bug tomorrow, this restaurant will go down to a 1 (and you don't want to mess with restaurants with a 1-star review).
TLDR; Waitress doesn't know difference between medium and rare. Come here for drinks, not food.
