| - This is a dishonest business.
My wife and I used to be semi-regulars at this place. We went once or twice a week. The food was good and the prices of the specials was decent. Honestly, though, I did not always look at the bill as closely as I should.
I realized that despite the fact that an all-day breakfast is advertised as $5.99 on the sign that is outside the restaurant, I was being charged more. I was being charged $6.99 for breakfast AND I was charged $1.49 extra for coffee. The sign, as you can see for yourself, is 3 eggs, bacon/ham/sausage, homefries, toast & tea/coffee for $5.99. No time restrictions.
My $5.99 breakfast was costing me $8.48!
So the next time we went in, I drew this to their attention. They said that was before 11:00 am. (This happened in the afternoon. Their menu has an every day breakfast item for $5.99, before noon) I demanded that they honour their advertising. Staff check with manager and they said they would do it this time. When the bill came, I was charged $5.99 for the breakfasts, plus charged extra for coffee.
I went in a few days ago. I asked for the all-day breakfast advertised on the sign. I was told that they let us have it last time, but that was it. No more. I told staff that I was leaving unless they honoured the price. They refused. I was given a whole song-and-dance explanation about how they have been informing all of their customers about the increasing price of bacon and tomatoes, blah, blah, blah. I told them they could solve the problem by removing the sign. No, they said, it's the only sign they have - they can't remove it!
A) It's not the only sign they have.
B) That sign is advertising only one thing - and it's something they won't sell you.
Three days later now - the sign is still there. BTW, this is not some permanent kind of sign. It's a sandwich board that keeps getting blown over in the wind and they keep putting it back up.
I told them that I would spread the word about this. They said that they hoped that I wouldn't.
This business draws people in with false advertising. Their most prominently-advertised feature is something that you can't get there. If you order it, they will overcharge you.
Please don't support this dishonest and untrustworthy business.
