Ok the most popular place for French fries in the burg- not anymore for me~!! I have visited the potato patch hundreds of time in the past. You do expect to wait because there is always a line - maybe 10-15 min wait. Yesterday when I visited the park I chose the shortest line all the way to the left. Ordering and paying before you get to the counter is a great enhancement to the order process. This particular visit to the potato patch was the longest wait I have ever encountered. It was almost 30 minutes.
So finally get to the counter to pick up 1 order of fries and a pop - small- simple order. The young man that waited on me confirmed my order while looking up at the monitor and I repeated it and confirmed.. not a second later.. he asked me again after looking at the screen - again - what it was after getting the fries.. then he was preoccupied and I had to tell him a third time what my order was? Someone else even got my drink so was puzzled at why he couldn't remember what my 1 order of fries was? Maybe the new ordering system is confusing to the workers getting the fries?! Finally leaving with my order and pop - off to get napkins/forks that are available alongside the potato patch building. No napkins or forks - everything was wiped out. The dispensers were even opened - everything was gone. It was like a bomb went off. Ok folks.. it wasn't the end of the day - it was 1:00 in the afternoon. I would think there should be staff that checks on theses supplies a few times a day? Its the potato patch .. you know ahead you are getting a crowd.
I was so tired at this point of standing for 30 minutes for the fries we just sat down at the closest bench to eat without napkins. I noticed size of the fries were the same - but the small cardboard container that holds them is definitely smaller than what I remembered and for $7.00 + this was a very disappointing trip to the potato patch. I really think I might just bypass it next time I visit the park.. it's just not how it used to be and definitely not worth it.
