Sometimes you have a bad experience at a restaurant. But I believe you should not judge too harshly based on one visit. Everyone has an off day, right? Well, this was my fifth time here and for sure my last. The only reason I came back was because my husband said he really liked it. Why, I have no idea. I guess that's not saying much for me as his chosen wife, but that's a whole other issue. Let's get on with this Yelper's first ever one-star review:
When we arrived, we grabbed the only available table near a drafty door. The table was covered in maple syrup. I asked for it to wiped off, please, and headed downstairs to the dreaded T&T bathroom to wash my sticky hands. I'd read about their state in previous reviews but it was even worse than described. Dirty, dark and dingy with the cheapest fixtures and linoleum tile floor. I swear this whole place has not been redecorated since 1972. Ugh!
We ordered our usual #2 special; 2 eggs, toast, bacon, hash browns and a cup of coffee. I asked to sub a tea biscuit for the toast, warmed up and with butter on the side. When my plate was placed in front of me 30 minutes later, I couldn't believe my eyes. The tea biscuit was smeared with a thick layer of butter and it was clearly stone cold as the butter was a solid congealed mass of glistening fat. It completely turned me off my breakfast. I barely touched my cold eggs and chewy, extra thick, extra greasy bacon. Ugh!
Not only that. While we waited and waited and waited some more for our breakfast to arrive, I finished my cup of weak coffee. Since no one had come by to offer a refill, I went to the counter where I was curtly told that refills are75 cents. In cash. Pre-paid.
Really??
So I went back to my table to scrounge up exact change 'cause there was no way in hell I was tipping that!
Oh yes, and they don't have Wifi. Ugh!
Why this place is always so crowded will always be a mystery to me. From now on there will be an extra table available by a drafty door for anyone who wants it.
