re: Hambone in Mandeville is closing as of today

IMO the change in ownership/service did it in. It used to be my favorite spot and we were regulars. They had some great servers and the food was excellent.

After the change, the service got pretty bad. There were a couple ladies there that were still great but ordering at the front then waiting on your food never seemed to make sense and the wait staff seemed lazy. There were other times where food took forever and chicken would be bloody in the middle or the cocktail of the day was rancid “fresh” juice sent back then came back to the table with an excuse that it tasted fine and somehow still showed up on the bill. We quit going a couple months back and have not found a regular spot since.
