| - A nice little place that seats around 15 with not-so-great parking accommodations. The food has been great on both occasions, BUT the blonde waitress/cashier with the glasses has had a consistent unwarranted issue which seems to be only with me both times. That is why I cannot give this restaurant the 4 stars that it deserves.
During my first visit, a month ago in October, I encountered the waitress after walking into an empty shop. After being in there less than 10 seconds, she asked me, "What would you like?" It wasn't so much the words, but it was the tone and the fact that I haven't been in the shop, 1. Long enough to make it to the front counter, 2. Read what's on the menu to request an order. Because it was my first time, I had a few questions with what was on the menu. Every answer I received was dry and very short. I took it as, maybe that's just her personality, so I place my order and took a seat. Less than 2 minutes later an older European couple and a friend came into the shop. I noticed the waitress' demeanor change, because the new patrons were greeted warmly with a big smile and a, "Welcome to Greedy Girls! How are you today?" After the patrons response the waitress said, "Just let me know when you're ready to order." As she stood erect and attentive behind the counter rather than sitting at the side table behind her laptop as she was during our exchange.
After my experience, I chose not to spend energy on what could be conceived as a negative first impression, taking into consideration that she might have had a bad day or may have other issues not seen on the surface. Because of that, I let the situation rest.
I decided to return today, November 30th, 2017 to try other items on the menu. Upon entering, I was greeted with a similar, dry, "What would you like?" During our encounter, a cook peers from out the kitchen and greets me with a welcoming smile and hello, which immediately puts a smile on my face. A short time later I decided on the lamb burger sliders. The waitress informs me that they are all out of the Greek sliders and the Indian sliders are all they have left. I asked what was the difference between the Greek and the Indian sliders. In an awkward exchange she says, "One is Greek and one is Indian" While was given in a short condescending tone. I look at her.... She then goes on to explain different ingredients between the two. I opted for the Greek 'wings' instead.
After the order was ready she comes to the front with the container and asks, "Do you want a plastic bag?" As I stand and walk to the counter, I say, "Yes". I then politely ask for napkins. The waitress says, "They're on the table" Taken back, I turn around and look at the table I was just sitting where I see a napkin holder. I thought, "That is extremely rude!" I then walk to the counter to receive my 'now' bagged food, only to see 3 packs of napkins directly behind her head within 10 inches reaching distance. I ask, "Aren't those napkins right there?" She turns around to look at them and says, "Yes." I ask, "So, you couldn't grab a few napkins from there to put in my bag?" She then goes on to repeat, "There's napkins on the table". So, I took my bag and I left, receiving subpar customer service and no napkins.
Greedy Girl's food is good, but not worth the hassle if other patrons are being treated as 'well' as I was from my two visits.
