I am giving this place two stars only because our experience two weeks ago was very good! That being said, unfortunately, after returning tonight, we will never go back here again. The staff last time was very helpful and awesome. Today, it was the complete opposite. The food is decent, a little overpriced for what it is...$6.50 for a small bowl of kids kraft Mac and and cheese, for example. The sweet potato fries we ordered were awesome until I took a bite of one sweet potato with the ketchup and got a very strong chemical taste. Don t know if it was the potato or the ketchup. Hoping it s not rat poison- but I know it definitely was not an edible chemical that somehow got mixed in with that one bite. (It s been an hour and I still have the after taste of that chemical.) I decided to let that one go and didn t bring it up with the staff. My chef salad was brought out with one of the ingredients (the boiled egg) missing. My daughter did go inform the staff and they brought out the missing ingredient. However, after taking about 10 bites of the salad, my teeth hit something painful. There was a cut zip tie in my salad! By then, I was grossed out and done. How does a used, cut up zip tie get in a salad? The staff apologized and just offered to reimburse my salad ($12.03) when we spent almost $60 (we had four in our party- two adults, two children, appetizer, and ice cream...no drinks) there with the tip. We will not be returning. Today was that bad. If they had offered to reimburse the dinner- we might have given it another chance but spending that much for that bad of experience... it is too big of a gamble to go back. We will just make our own kraft Mac and cheese for a dollar and buy a salad bag from the store for $2.50. No more throwing away our money, sitting at a messy table, taking bites with chemical tastes in them, or biting on used zip ties that someone s hands have been on to tie and cut for me!
