| - Where oh where do I damn start.....?
I came here with a friend of mine before heading out to celebrate his birthday. I dunno why we didn't just go to Midnight Diner but hey, it's his birthday. Not mine.
First, there's a $5 cover. Not bad. Rent gotta be paid so I get it. Upon observation, one could easily tell that this is a place for the maw maw's and paw paw's of the world. And this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I just know that none of them will be at church in the morning.
Anyway, we both decided to order a tequila sunrise. Google it and you'll see that it's a fairly easy drink to make. Doesn't take much effort at all. The only problem was the bartender did this age old trick where the bottom is filled with water first and then liquor is added on top of that. I knew right then and there we should've carried our asses on home but again, his birthday, not mine.
We decided to order the crawfish egg rolls. I've had "different" egg rolls before, so the fact that they managed to roll some crawfish in seemed like it'd be impressive. Chile....they put a single crawfish tail in each egg roll (the appetizer came with two) and the rest was cabbage. Nothing but raw cabbage. Oh but it gets worse. They serve it with some type of pepper jam and when I tell you I'd rather eat the placenta of rabid dog, I'm not exaggerating. It was disgusting.
I decided to fix my face. Even though we're batting on two negatives, I figured that maybe the main courses would be better.
So, I ordered the catfish, fries, and rice and beans. They had "crab Mac and cheese," but after the "crawfish egg roll," I wasn't here for it. They also had collard greens and honestly, I'm cool on eating anyone's collards that ain't my mamas. So heavy carbs it was.
The fries were frozen Orida.
The red beans and rice were a can of over salted kidney beans with white rice on top.
And the fish wasn't cooked all the way through.
I'm sure that if you're reading this far, you're wondering how I handled it right?
I talked to the waitress and told her that I was irritated by the food and service.
Me: y'all served us drinks that had a smooth 2-3 inches of water in it before you added the alcohol.
Her: I'm sorry.
When she brought out the receipt for payment, I was a little annoyed at the price and said "this was seriously not good. I'm not one to complain about stuff but this is the cost and NOTHING was good?"
Waitress: I paid for yalls coke.
And that's when I lost it.
So....right now, I'm standing at the door waiting for a manager. I'm sure he/she ain't gonna do sh*t and I'm gonna end up in Meck. County before the night is over.
I don't even want a refund, a discount, nothing. I just want him/her to see this face and understand that I absolutely am the type stand in their establishment and write a dissertation style Yelp review because I have time and type well over 90 words per minute.
UPDATE: the manager apologized for the whole deal. I definitely appreciate it but not enough to come back. Y'all have fun with that.
