My friend and I, both Las Vegas natives, were so excited to finally try this place. We came in tonight, Sunday July 3rd at 6:40 pm. There was a large group waiting in the waiting room and a sign that said "please wait to be seated". We waited for 10 minutes after I finally decided to try and find an employee to let them know that people were waiting. I found a waitress and asked if there was a hostess and she rudely told me that the hostess was busy setting up for a party and we'd just have to wait. Uhm? Okay. We waited for another 5 minutes before the hostess came up to us and just asked "how many?" No smile. No 'thank you for waiting'. No welcome to 'Hush Puppy.' Nothing. As someone who works in the service industry I was already so taken back by the lack of professionalism and atmosphere. She took us to a table and put the menus down and walked away. Every. Single. Table. was dirty. Two tables had people sitting and dining at them. That was it. The rest of the room was filled with dirty plates and cups. Needless to say, I have no reviews or anything to say about the actual food here because who in their right mind would stay and eat at this restaurant after the staff's behavior and the lack of cleanliness. Didn't want to risk getting sick. We left immediately and as we were walking out the hostess sarcastically and for the first time smiling said, "thank you for coming, have a good night."
Management and owner beware. You've got a staff running what seems to once have been a good place into the ground.
