Break Time Billiards & Harley's Don't Mix

Over the past couple of weeks our Cigar Club decided to find a new place to go to break the ice for a while and try something new. Hadley and I had visited Break Time Billiards over lunch a couple of times and really enjoyed the food. To top it off we were having a blast shooting pool, smoking a cigar and eating their fantastic food, all at an unbelievable low price!

Tonight we went again and had a fantastic waitress. We ordered our food and once again between "all" of us, there wasn't a single fry left on our plates when we were finished. The waitress was overwhelmed with an expected crowd from the Ocean City Harley Davidson Dinner Ride. She said, I doubt I'll make much from this crowd and I responded, I used to be one of that crowd and I'm sure you'll be well taken care of.

Once these guys had left she came over to me and said, I told you they don't tip very well, I made less than 10% tip from ALL of them! I asked her if she gave them good service and she said there wasn't a single complaint and she had done nothing wrong. It's no wonder you're seeing so many waiters and waitresses complaining about low tips.

By the time we had left I'm sure we made up for her losses and she was VERY happy. We felt bad that a group of old guys were there stinking up the place, laughing and enjoying ourselves as we watched Hadley doing everything he could to make any combination into the 9-Ball he could and most of the time making them! JERK!

Anyhow, Break Time Billiards is truly a great place to eat and a great place to get out and enjoy a game of pool. If you've never tried it, treat yourself one time and see how nice a well run billiard room can be. Just make sure you don't go on Wednesday Nights! Oh, during the day it's like $3.00 an hour to shoot pool!
