| - This should really be a 2-star review, but I'm adding a star because our server was pretty nice, as well as patient with all of my questions. Aside from that, I had a few issues throughout our lunch.
First, I noticed that many of the tables were still dirty from the night before (we arrived 15 minutes after they opened). I had to brush large pieces of food off of our table and seats, so that kind of made me wonder how clean the kitchen was.
For our lunch, we ordered the pulled pork sandwich (which my husband said was just okay) and the fried green tomato grilled cheese (which was decent for a grilled cheese, but there was no real "wow" flavor to it and the tomato slice was so thin, I mostly noticed the breading). We both got a side of fries, but they initially brought me regular fries instead of the sweet potato fries that I ordered. They were also kind of lukewarm, so we just took them home to reheat later. We also got a side of Chile Spoon Bread, which I was told was like cornbread. It ended up being a tiny piece of cold, mushy bread pudding-like stuff. I expected it to be warm, but it definitely wasn't. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be? I definitely wasn't a fan.
We also ordered two milkshakes to go, which was the part of the meal that really annoyed me because I hate feeling like I'm getting screwed over in any way. The shakes came out and they were the size of a small drink at McDonald's. Based on photos I saw on-line, as well as the $6 price, I expected them to be bigger and even mentioned this to the server. She admitted that you get a lot more when you have the shake in the restaurant. When you order it to go, they only have small plastic cups, so you basically get half the serving. Why wouldn't she have mentioned that when I asked if they do shakes to go? And if the shakes must be significantly smaller, shouldn't they also be cheaper? Or can't they afford to buy one more larger size cup? The shakes didn't even much flavor, so that made it worse. They were supposed to be salted caramel pretzel, but tasted more like plain vanilla with a few chunks of pretzel in it. I could have spent less money on a shake or Blizzard at DQ and been much happier.
Overall, I'd give the place one more chance since there aren't many places around my office, but I'll go in with low expectations and definitely won't be leaving with a shake.
