Ever Have One Of These Days?


Does anyone around here have lousy service? Then again, who has the best service. I know, to top that, who's the best Waiter or Waitress you know and where do they work?

All of the servers and people employed at Boonies are the best.
All of them go above and beyond the call. Best part about that I only have to drive 2 miles to get there!Boonies Rocks!

Char at Watermen's Cove. I've known her for 27 years! She knows everyone's birthday and I mean everybody. You cen be assured if you go in there on your birthday your name will be on her bar "Special's" board whether you go or not : )

Jan is another good pick worked with her too!

Mark T. at IHOP in Salisbury. He is the greatest! He works the breakfast shift and early lunch. When he sees us pull up, our drinks are on the table when we walk in and he's waiting to take our order. He even gave US a Christmas present this past year. He's the best! Very efficient and friendly.

My wife. The service she provided this morning left me looking for my toe-nails.

All the girls at The Bagel Bakery (on 13 near Subway) are wonderful. They see regulars pull into the parking lot and they're already preparing their regular meal. They're always smiling, always friendly. They're a great bunch!

THE BEST
Heidi & Brian at Backstreet Grill are the best. I always ask for them.

I always leave Vinny's La Roma happy & Vinny usually comes by to say hello. The whole staff is great.

The guy who works at The Pita Place is really nice, and the food is great, even if the decor is kind of yucky.

For fast food, the Quizno's by target is clean and the people are always fast & nice.

THE WORST
The McDonald's in Ocean Pines NEVER fills your order at the drive thru - they make you park & wait every time - and are rude to top it off.

Chilis has crappy service and the managers hover over your table.

The Uno's Pizza is the worst service in town - I'll never go back there.

Teresa at Texas Roadhouse in Fruitland is amazing! I refuse to eat there if she doesnt serve me. And at Old Mill Erin is great.

Megan at Imperial Gallery! Great personality and very cute!

Pittsville Dinette is the best. The wait staff there is awesome. They have quick service for very reasonable prices. Plus you never know what kind of gossip you will hear. If you really want to get things stirred up, go in during the week between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. and stop by the first round table. Tell 'em you are a Democrat and a huge Obama supporter. That will get 'em going for sure, but when you leave everyone will know you and remember you when you come back.

worst service in salisbury, no doubt: greene turtle. the gals must figure if they wear their shorts short enough and their pants tight enough, it doesn't matter how long it takes them to take your order, serve your food or bring you your check. granted, this is a "bar" and service isn't of the utmost importance, but i have been there for lunch and literally had my waitress sit down at another person's table [obviously friends of hers'] to chat with them and then actually give my appetizer to that other table! [had to wait a whole 'nother cycle for my nachos!] not cool.

Poor Service:
KFC (inside) I seems that the drive up is 10 times quicker than the inside is. My daughter was pregnant and craving KFC. I went in there and ordered and paid for her dinner. 49 minutes later, yes forty-nine minutes later the order was filled wrong! I thought that there was going to be a riot that night. There were about 5 other people there who had ordered before me. If I didn't love my daughter so much, I would have canceled my order and left after 10 minutes and told them to go pack sand! I understand that this happens there all of the time.

Outback in Salisbury is the worst restaurant of alllll time-in every way possible. The 20 pre-teen girls they have up front don't know what they are doing, and don't care. A customer fell right in front of them once-we rushed over to see if they were alright-we asked Miley Cyrus if she was going to get the manager-she said "there's nothing we can do". They didn't ask the woman if she was alright, nothing. We were waiting with that buzzer for a table-we kept seeing people getting seated before us. We went up to see our name crossed out. I said here we are, why is our name crossed out? She looked blank for several seconds then giggled oh, we must've crossed your name off by accident. We gave it two tries-we will never go to that stupid excuse for a restaurant again EVER.

Station 7 has the best service in the area. My husband and I eat there twice a week and have never been disappointed. You will always find better service at family owned places than you will at the chains.

There are quite a few good ones, Sobo's, Old Mill, and I agree that Chick Filet does well with their service. The absolute worst,slowest service is Popeye's chicken...I cant tell you how long I waited in their drive-thru. I think the same people work at K-Mart.

Cactus Tavera always has really good service.

Have to agree that KFC has the worst service I've ever experienced. Only been there once - about a year ago - and don't plan to return.

texas road house bar service is tops

We went to Maynies one night and friend was there and said, "You should leave now, I've been waiting for 2 hours (the others at her table had food)." We sat down and our server, young man, told us she was right. They only had one cook and he was acting like a little girl. We left and went to Backstreet for good service and a good meal.

Leave Chef Fred out of it. He is a great Chef and works well with others and hands on knowledge of it. This is not hear-say. See it with your eyes then say it. If not SHUT UP!!!

I've known Chef Fred for many years and have also worked for him. The only time I have ever heard Fred use foul language in the kitchen is when the quality of the food and/or dining experience of the customer is in jeopardy. Fred prides himself on being a family-owned and opperated establishment and surely had no intention of offending any of his patrons.

P.s. Better to be pissed off than pissed on!
