| - Although the food is really good at a great price, this is NOT what this review will be about. THERE are TOO MANY other RESTAURANTS out there with GREAT FOOD. The service, the attitudes of the servers and the manager at this location is appalling. My wife and I arrived at the counter at 8:30pm and were immediately told the restaurant closes at 9pm. I informed this extremely rude worker that 9pm was 30 minutes from then and he replied "just need to let you know." I said we were going to sit on the patio anyway and he replied "we have problems with people wanting to sit out there for 2 hours". I'm thinking, Okay, well whatever... You know when that little voice says "LEAVE!" ,... well, yeah, I ignored it. Boy was I sorry I dd. As if this wasn't bad enough, it gets worse!! The food finally came (normally I wouldn't have worried about it ... but we were on a time clock!!) I asked for an extra plate so my wife and I could share one of the dishes, it literally took the guy 5 minutes to get it to us. At 8:45 they start dumping the ice tea after we asked him to please save the one tea my wife drinks and wanted to get one to go. I had to go in to ask again if they could save the tea. I noticed this woman with a gallon jug filling it up with ice tea and I asked if they were going to put that out so we can get refills from it... She looked at me and stated NO! This was for an employee who wanted to take home ice tea. (side note: hope the employee is paying for it!!) Right about this time a HUGE group of about 10 people walked in and wanted to eat and this guy tells them, we're closing. Sorry!... The group said, "I thought you were open until 9pm?" And he said, "well it's almost that time now, Sorry!" UNBELIEVABLE!! At 8:50 this same guy and girl come out onto the patio and start stacking chairs REALLY LOUDLY and it seemed quite obvious at this point that they wanted us to pack up our food and leave!! I looked at my wife and stated I am staying here until 9pm and I'm going to enjoy my food and ignore the RUDENESS of these employees. When they were done stacking chairs and bringing them into the restaurant this NASTY GUY comes up to us and looks at our food & says "Oh, looks like you still have some food left" and started to walk away. (It was 8:58pm)... at this point I took the opportunity to let this young man know how rude he was being. How his attitude, words and behavior has made us extremely uncomfortable and will definitely make us NOT want to come there any more. At that point the woman walks over to us and identifies herself as the manager (WHAT?? REALLY??!!!)... and says, "the owner makes us clock out at 9:30pm or we get in big trouble so we have to make people leave by 9pm." I asked for the owners name or card as I want to speak with him about this ridiculous policy and it is basically running patrons off. She said he doesn't have a phone number, just an email address. And he's already received complaints about it, but doesn't care. I was shocked at this and want to leave a MESSAGE DIRECTLY TO THE OWNER!! If this truly is your policy I say to you, there are literally THOUSANDS of other places to eat and HUNDREDS of new restaurants opening up and begging for business. Although I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN, you will continually & constantly lose customers with this negative and offensive attitude and behavior... your employees will not only NOT be clocking out by 9:30... they won't be clocking out at all, as you've run everyone from your business and your doors will close just like the last 10 restaurants in that same location has done before you. GOOD RIDDANCE!
