| - I went to this Jack Astor's recently for lunch on a weekday, let's just say I won't be back. Here's why:
1. The service was really bad. "Guys" was definitely the word on the brain and coming out of the mouth of everyone working in the place who spoke to us...which is fine if you're not dining with a female of the 50+ persuasion. (Admittedly, she's not the standard clientele of any Jack Astor's, but come on.) A waitress trying to identify with a customer who orders a vegetarian meal by claiming she's vegetarian as well, "except for once or twice a year when I have bacon", well, 'nuff said. Drinks were never offered a refill, except for a cup of coffee that was offered a refill about 5-10 after emptied a first time. And offer me an alternative to fries when they're listed on the menu...but more on that below.
2. The food also sucked. I know a veggie burger isn't supposed to be wonderful anywhere, but it was the fries that really lacked oomph. Previously frozen, double fried, and sitting in the friolator for way too long = not deserving to sit on a plate with a gourmet burger (the burger was actually quite nice).
With a plethora of other dining options in the area, I'll be going elsewhere in future.
