Actually, my post wasn't based on an event 5 years ago. I've been on two company dinners and one private dinner with friends since then. The latest about 4 months ago. At this point I'm done giving the place any more chances. They consistently disappoint on many levels. The last time I went I called and asked for 6pm reservations. Was told none available but they could take me at 8:30. I then asked if anything was available before 6pm and was told 5:45. I took the 5:45 and was disappointed I wasn't offered the earlier reservation and had to enquire on my own. In general the staff treats me like their doing me a favor in serving me. So from now on I'll just stay away so I won't bother them.

That fricking Cafe Americain off Jefferson Highway.

I am a member of a trade organization that they are a member of as well. Took my staff there for a nice dinner. As per the trade organization rules, I mentioned at the onset that I would be paying for said dinner with trade.

Waitress agreed and said it would be fine. Had a decent meal paid with trade dollars, tipped her with cash and we all got up and headed to the parking lot.

The douchebag owner ran after me and told me I needed to pay with cash as they were currently on hold with the trade organization. I told him that his waitress at the onset that we would be paying with barter and she said no problem.

He said that they were on hold and that I should have known. I told him that the training of his staff was about as good as the meal we were served, shite!

I told him that I would pay him with cash and that my shadow would never darken his door. He was good with it. Cest la vie.

That dick could go frick himself.

Little Village on Airline, rudest manager I have ever seen in my life. Food is mediocre at best.

Partners one organization. It allows you to barter with someone who has a chicken you don't need.

Wakin Bakin.

They serve and cook all to go orders and delivery orders immediately before anyone who orders to eat there.

frick them.

If you do decide to go, order it to go and then just sit down anyway. We watched and listened to them make 12 different to go orders before bringing our food to the table.

The kitchen is open, so you can hear them yelling the orders out to the cooks. About 10 mins after we got there, they still hadn't started to make our food. A group of 6 people walked in behind us, placed a to go order, and got their food then sat down at a table and ate it before me and Mrs. Breesus even heard our food shouted out to the kitchen.

Too many other good breakfast spots around to waste my time there. Especially with Biscuits & Buns on Banks right across the street.

Then as we were leaving, after we had been there over an hour before the food was served, and i had still left a tip for the c-nt waitress, she says "goodbye" as im on my way out the door, i guess she didnt hear me say "thanks", so as the door was shutting I heard her say "fine. guess not".

Seriously. frick that place.

This is one of those moments i wish i didnt hate yelp so much.

Damn. You shouldn't have paid.

We did partners one at my old job and if the machine was down beyond anyone's control, we would just give a complimentary meal

Julie's Mexican restaurant and eddies bbq in Alexandria. Moved here about 5 years ago and people raved about Julie's. Worst Mexican place ever, but they are always packed and I don't get it? Eddies bbq as of recently bc they went up on their prices of about $8 for a burger, side and drink to now about $11.50! That's restaurant prices and that burger isn't that good. I'll just go next door to outlaws and be fine
