| - So disappointed in Wasted Grain. Took my teammates from out-of-state to Wasted Grain for dinner on Sat night. we'd just finished a 36 hour race and were STARVING. I had eaten here before; food was good and the atmosphere is fun so thought it would be a good place to take them. We arrived at 6:30. Food for 5 was served at 7:50; the 6th plate arrived 15 minutes later. No joke. Very little acknowledgement from staff that they completely dropped the ball; waitress was nice, and sorry, but then disappeared and we saw her sporadically once she know were weren't too happy, and no one in our party was a jerk on any level. The manager actually told us , "the kabobs take longer to cook and throws everything else off." This makes no sense, but he I guess apparently had to say something? He did offer a few free drinks and to comp the kabobs. It was completely embarrassing from start to finish, being that I made the dinner spot decision. Too many solid restaurants in town to have service like this; but i bet they mostly cater to the drinking crowd. Did i mention it was 6:30 when we got there? Place was 1/4 full, and no one else was eating. I didn't know until we left that one of my teammates spoke with the manager, so i'm not sure how the bill ended up; teammate said he took care of it, so i'm not sure if that meant the manager stepped up and comp'd the entire bill (which is what should have happened in the 1st place). Anyways - disappointed & embarrassed, and don't feel the need to patronize this establishment again. Should have gone to Social Tap. No wonder Cold Beers & Cheesburgers, Bottled Blonde, Two Brothers all had a line out the door at 6:30, and this place does not.
also a band coming on at 9 was banging away on the drums. i get to an extent the need to set up, but banging on the drums at 6:30 was a bit annoying. Def did not help with the rest of the situation.
