| - At least the entertainment was good...
Even though it was completely unwelcome.
Tonight I had the severe displeasure of attempting to eat at Flavors of Louisiana. When we first arrived, a nice gentleman welcomed us and seated us promptly. Chatted with us on the way to the table, great employee. Sadly, he would not be our waiter who was very much not a great employee, or even a decent human being as far as was displayed tonight.
After being seated and placing our order, we wouldn't see our waiter again for 45 minutes. He stopped by to deliver a lie about how "the oil got shut off next door so we couldn't cook anything." I overheard another waiter actually being honest with customers explaining that they were short staffed. This is reasonable. This accounts for our food that hadn't shown up, but not for the empty beverage glasses and 45 mins between visits.
Once the food showed up I noticed my gumbo was cold (chicken and sausage) while my partners was piping hot and giving off steam. Mine was also covered in a greasy layer and was basically inedible so no huge loss. Red beans and rice were good if you are into johnsonville sausage and boil in bag rice I suppose, at least they were warm. I start to eat my Po Boy and yep, also cold. Interesting since the kitchen just got its "oil" back, huh? More like they were sitting there for a while and our sever couldn't be bothered to do his job.
I managed to flag him down again all the way across the restaurant (because it's not like he bothered to check back) and told him those items were cold and asked how that could happen when I had waited that long. He simply said he didn't know, I said to just remove them from the bill. After all, we'd been there an hour and a half at that point.
This is where it reality gets good. He starts to loudly complain to another server that I sent my cold food back (like I care, and this is exactly why I wouldn't accept a remade order). He then proudly and triumphantly marches back to lecture me (lol)! He tells me "since you were SO RUDE I went ahead and took those off the bill for you?" Um no, sweetie... you took them off the bill because they were inedible and I sent them back. I tried explaining to him that I didn't feel like that was rude at all, in fact I was frustrated that we had sat there so long with no service and were given cold food. That's just ridiculous. His attitude became far worse after we exchanged words, obviously frustrated with having another table leave and not getting anything off of mine and he flew right off the handle, obviously too unstable and insecure to be in a public facing role.
Then it gets even better! The waiter actually yells "F*** YOU!" at me, then "you're lucky I don't kick your ass!" I couldn't help but wonder if this was real life, how would any business owner or manager let their staff act like common gutter trash? Like I'm going to react to this dramatic rendition, lol please. Surely management was nowhere in the building based on this and the rest of the poor service all night.
At least one other table got up and left due to not getting thier food as well, so it clearly wasn't isolated. It was also the same servers table, which is unsurprising.
So if you're in the mood for cold food, being cursed at, and threatened with assault then by all means enjoy a meal here. I suspect you aren't, though... so here's your warning: AVOID at all costs.
I reached out to the business owner to let him know what happened and his only response was a :cry: emoticon... so if you ever have issues here you can be assured you will not get resolution.
