Carol's Garden Restaurant
The straws were badly bent on the kids' drinks. Otherwise, everything at Carol's was straight-up wonderful. We were greeted by a smiling face as we entered, and seated at a comfortable booth. The kids' menu has some cute activities on one side, and an extensive menu on the other; my little one opted for silver dollar pancakes and a sausage patty, along with an apple juice (the latter of which came with that straw that was bent in no time). The regular menu is extensive, but it took no time for my not-so-little one to pick a Belgian waffle with strawberries, which was offered with whipped cream upon ordering, to which a jubilant yes rang out. Luckily the silver dollar plate also arrived with a bowl of whipped cream, so no one felt left out (nice touch!). I ordered the spinach crepes, which were wonderful, and came with shredded hash browns just like I like them. After much eating and coffee consumption, we decided to commemorate our meal, and asked the same employee who greeted us with a smile to take a photo of us, which he kindly obliged. I didn't include those photos, so unfortunately I'm only posting pics of those wacky straws, mainly in hopes of getting a funny reply from the owner. 😆
Asked for Fresh Crispy Bacon. Not Reheated!!! Waitress asked if I don't mind waiting, I said No, I don't mind. She came out minutes later, with Reheated Bacon. She stated the Cook told her to take it, that it was Fresh. Even though she knew, confidentiality, it was Reheated. She didn't want to get into an Argument with the cook, so she brought it out to the table. She didn't want to Argue with the Cook. The OWNER said it was cooked just over an hour ago and was Fresh. The Waitress has a job to do but can't do it to her BEST ability, but can't, because of a LAZY COOK and a CHEAP OWNER. It's a Shame. Been going there since it was a Golden Bear, over 50 years!!! This was my 3rd problem there in less than 6 months. Things are different these days, Covid-19 certainly didn't make things better, but for My $14.99, plus tax and tip. It's definitely time to find a different place for Me. P.S. I have over 40years in the Restaurant & Hotel Industry. Normally for me, the little guy is my choice, unfortunately today, it was a Bad One.
