A friend and I have been coming to eat here for breakfast for a few months, now, including many times when we were the only people in the restaurant. Today, my friend missed the "Please wait to be seated" sign and we started to walk in. A simple mistake, no harm done! Except the waitress came over, loudly saying "Can't you read?!? I have to seat you!" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see the sign," my friend replied, perfectly reasonably, considering her overreaction. After a few minutes of waiting, the same waitress came over to seat us, with a chip on her shoulder. As she sat us down and threw the menus on the table, she AGAIN gave us an attitude as she said "You wouldn't just walk into someone's HOUSE would you?!" to which my friend simply replied "As a matter of fact, I do...." At that, the owner came out and threw me and my friend out of the restaurant for "harassing his waitress" saying "there are plenty of places to eat, you don't have to be here." As a neighboring table said as we walked out, "that waitress was a [jerk]!" But the owner got one thing absolutely right: There ARE plenty of places to eat, with comparable food and a MUCH more competent and polite waitstaff/owner, so don't waste your time with this place, no matter how decent the food is.

I'm a job coach and I called the manager in reference to an online job post with an honest question to help them find employees, hoping he might be gracious and professional enough to make an exception to the "no, phone calls please" clause. Instead, he used foul and abusive language and insulted me over the phone. I will never refer any clients there, nor will I ever eat there. And I do not recommend anyone support this business. If the manager cannot treat callers in a professional and respectful manner, then the business is not worth my time.
