I went there for mother’s day and the service was not the best. I don't know why. Maybe it was because we are African American. (why is it that when I go to a place I have to think about that?) I felt like they we're rushing us out. We have four children. No one ever asked us what we needed. The water boy did give us water but pretty much I had to ask several times for them to remove plates and napkins from the table. I noticed no one else's table had plates piled high etc. They kinda pushed the check on us and when I said I wanted to order more they actually looked disappointed. I ordered fried ice cream for the kids and they kinda threw it on the table at me. I kept wondering what I was doing wrong. I found a large damsel fly (cooked) in my food. I didn't say anything. But considering the bad service, I should have. I found it kinda pricey and the portions were not as large as I thought they where going to be. All in all it was an OK experience. Maybe it was the mothers' day rush, who knows. Maybe they felt we we're staying too long and weren’t spending enough money, who knows. (I left a decent tip at 20%) But considering I had a family of six it was still pretty economical. And luckily they (the rest of my family) didn’t seem to notice these things and had a good time. That’s all that really mattered. But I had to sit there wondering what the heck was going on. Kinda ruined it for me. Why can’t I just go to a place, order, eat and pay and not feel like a second class citizen?
