| - First visit here 5/27/16. The restaurant was moderately busy and appeared very clean. The booth benches were worn.
Service was great, my food was decent. I ordered two eggs and kielbasa with toast and hash brown potatoes. I forgot to leave the tip, sorry. Never been here before, had to pay at the register at the front door which got me moving that way and I just left without leaving a tip for the waitress, sorry for that. It completely slipped my mind once I was heading for the door.
While my food and service was technically nearly perfect I did have one thing that sort of soured me on this place. This sort of thing may not bother you but it does bother me.
All the dining area table tops are covered with ads. There is a note in the corner showing that this is a service they get, table tops with ads.
I used to sell advertising for a living so I'm keenly aware what ads are worth and captive eyeballs too. Generally I avoid ads, I do not watch TV and seldom listen to the radio. Ads are becoming more and more intrusive and the ones online are increasingly rude. I use an ad blocker on my web browser, but having to sit and have a table top of ads staring at me while I wait for my food is what I would consider disrespectful.
To me, the decision to rent their table tops for ads means they do not respect me. I take it that they feel I am not a person but just an "it" to be advertised "at."
While the service and food was fine I draw the line at being treated with disrespect, so I won't be returning to dine here.
If this sort of activity doesn't bother you, please assume I gave this restaurant 4 stars for decent food and service but they lose one for disrespecting the very people that keep them in business, give them all jobs.
