Walked in at 9:15pm after a visit to Carowinds Winterfest. There was one person eating at a table and a single girl sweeping up. After waiting for about 5 minutes she finally came over, I asked are you still serving...after asking what time it was, she looks at the wife and says "I guess".
Don't get me wrong, I know it's a Tuesday and it's 9:15 but you're open until 10...it's not like I walked in at 9:50 (which if you have a good restaurant should still mean the same level of service). With an answer like that and a look that felt like we had just insulted her we decided to walk out. The food may be good, but I'm not willing to roll the dice based on that interaction alone. We drove 10 minutes down the road to a Five Guys that also closes at 10 and we're immediately greeted with a smile and good food. In a world with some much competition for food you're first impressions are important.
