| - I'm not sure what the issue is with the location, however, my last couple of visits have not been great. About a month ago, my wife, son and I decided to go there for dinner on a later afternoon/early evening Saturday. The place was fairly busy, but not slammed, and we were seated right away. It took about 8-10 minutes before a waitress came to our table and we were told that several of the staff had suddenly quit and she advised she would have to serve a large number of tables and apologized. Since were were already seated, we decided to stay and order. As expected by her warning, service was very slow, though she was nice about it. We weren't all that upset, though, and understood the staffing issue. Well, last weekend at dinner time, we all decided to give it another try, figuring that surely the staffing issues would be corrected. Evidently not, however. We arrived to a very light crowd at the restaurant (maybe 8 or 10 tables were occupied) and were told to wait a minute while they found somewhere for us to sit. We were told the delay was due to a waitress having just received 2 new parties in her area. So, we sat down and waited about 5 minutes and, meanwhile, other parties are arriving, being told the same thing. Then, the hostess asks to take our name down on the wait list. Again, with a very light crowd at the restaurant. I put our name on the list, but after waiting an additional 5 minutes, decided to leave and go somewhere else, since it was obvious they were still having staffing issues and I didn't want to end up being served by a waiter/waitress with 10 other tables. So, not sure what the issue is, but they obviously are having trouble keeping staff and also have other management issues. Bottom line is, I still like On The Border, but beware of this location's issues before deciding to go. I definitely hope the situation improves, sooner rather than later.
