| - I will start by saying this is a really tough review to write, but given what happened I feel compelled to warn others. If you are White I would recommend you steer clear of this location because it's pretty obvious you and your money aren't welcome here.
We went on a Saturday morning. There were 8 of us (4 adults and 4 kids). When we arrived we were told it would be about a 30-35 minute wait. We agreed to wait around. 2 minutes later another large group (7 people, not white) arrives. I was still standing next to the hostess counter. She informs them it would be a 40-45 minute wait, glances over at me, and then looks back at the other party and says "we might be able to make it sooner." I didn't think much of it until I saw a large table open up (about 5 minutes later). I thought to myself awesome we will be seated in no time after all. But to my shock they called the party of 7 to be seated. I politely asked why they went ahead of us, and she boldface looked at me and said only 7 people can fit at that table (there was room for 8 lol). They waited 45 minutes until a table in the very back corner opened up. No apologies, no thanking us for our patience.
Quickly afterwards the waitress came by, got our drink order, and returned 2 minutes later with the drinks. What I noticed right away though is she wouldn't actually look at any of us. I thought it odd, but continued to have faith it would be a good meal. I then watched our waitress go to her other tables of people that were seated AFTER us to take their food orders. She kept visiting those tables but refused to come back to the corner to take our order. (Again we are the only white people in the restaurant) It took almost 20 minutes to get our food ordered (only 5 plates since our kids don't eat that much and we were sharing family style). I thought no big deal because I was watching table after table who ordered before us getting their food in 15 minutes or less. It took over 40 minutes to get our food. In those 40 minutes the waitress never swung by for refills, or to apologize for the wait.
BUT the next scenario is what helped remove any doubt I had left about the situation we found ourselves in. When the food finally was delivered, the waitress came by RIGHT AWAY before we had even taken a bite and asked if we needed any to-go boxes!!!!! I was absolutely shocked and amazed in this day and age, at an established business, this would occur. Even my kids started asking me "Dad, why do they want us to leave so bad". It broke my heart they had to witness this behavior and prejudice. I had to wait until we got home to help educate them on how sometimes people will treat you different based on the color of your skin. It's almost surreal that we just wanted to come enjoy a meal and some amazing waffles, but were then confronted with this crap.
