Just wanted to follow-up here. Still one of my favorite places...the husband, kiddo and I usually hit it up sometime on Sunday (we call it "the Holy Church of Pinky's", since we usually make it here instead of church - ha!).
We've had some rough experiences lately though...bringing a toddler out anywhere is super stressful at times and the wait staff can make or break it. The wait staff has been in transition lately and we had stopped going in lieu of a chain restaurant with an extensive kids menu and wait staff that liked our kid.
When the little man first started eating solid foods, the wait staff gave their recommendations on how to order stuff to get the best deal on a smaller portion, because he's two and two year old's just don't eat all that much.
But, then, that staff left and the newbies didn't know what we were talking about when we asked for a "side of fried chicken" or a "kids burger". They'd let us wait just a little too long for food/drinks, or not bring little man's food in a timely manner (gotta expedite the kids meals), plus weren't friendly...it was too much and we stopped going.
Decided to give our favorite place another try this last week and had a GREAT experience. Still got our least favorite waitress, but she has really picked up the pace and gave us a much, much better level of service than we had come to expect from her.
The service makes such a big difference.
Looking forward to an even better experience next week!
