I've always gone for breakfast and it's usually pretty good. It's hard to find a good breakfast place in C-U!
A few days ago, I went with my friend and our two kids (baby and a 2 year old). I got there and stood at the top of the steps for, no joke, 10 minutes before the host even acknowledged me. But they were swamped and I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I've worked in food service. When he finally asked if I "needed something," I was confused. The sign clearly says, "Please wait to be seated." I told him I was waiting for a table, and he said, "Oh, there's one down there," and pointed towards the kitchen. My friend and I took our seats, and the host brought a high chair. Someone brought us water, and another 10 minutes later, our frazzled, odd server came to our table. She asked if we were ready to order, and we looked down and said, "Well.... we never got any menus...." She came back with the menus, blamed it on someone else, and we ordered our food. Every time she came to the table, she had some sort of snide comment -- maybe she was just having a bad day or that's her personality, but it was annoying. It would have helped if she would have ever brought us refills, checked to be sure we liked our food, asked if we needed anything else. At the end of the meal, she said, "Gosh your table is so quiet," which we both laughed at. How would she know? She never stopped by!
The food, however, was fine. I ordered a Dagwood Sandwich (after the hostess said, "Well, that's a LOT of food," and I politely responded, "OK and I'll also have a side of fries.") I got the sandwich with just mustard, no secret sauce or mayo, and it's was pretty good (it was a tall sandwich). I shared the sandwich and fries with my 2 year old. We had a few fries left over, to give you an idea of how much food it ended up being.
The bill was about $10 -- on the high end for lunch, but considering it was a large lunch, it seems pretty reasonable.
Lunch was fine, but I think I will stick with breakfast at the Courier. They seem too overwhelmed at lunch!
