Restaurant Review

Ok so today we went shopping. It was FREEZING! We actually seen snow!! I absolutely loved watching Laney watching it snow...aww..it was sweet. The shoppers were me, my girls, my mom, my sister, my cousin Sarah and her daughter Kelcie...

Anyways so we decided to meet up at Boston's in Bentonville for lunch. So I think I mentioned on my facebook the other day about how I attract rude people/bad service? Well let me tell you this "restaurant" was absolutely HORRIBLE today! Sarah gave it rave reviews and so we were like yeah sounds good..

We get in there about 12:05 and our waitress takes our drink orders. My mom asks "do you have diet dr. pepper?" (this is a question you hear quite often if you go anywhere with my mother. ha) And so the waitress told her they did. So she brings out our drinks and tells my mom that she's sorry but they are out of diet dr. pepper (this was the first upset of our lunch date) How does a restaurant run out of a drink? Anyways that's not the point...so we order our food. I added a side caesar salad to my calzone and so we sit there to wait for our food... At 1:00 we are STILL WAITING! I am not even kidding!

Sarah finally decided to "get some balls" (haha..it's an inside joke) and gets up to tell the manager our problem and could she at least get the kids food out there. The manager comes to the table and apologizes and says she will go check on the food for us. She also has to get us refills because we have been out of drinks for about 20 minutes at this point. Mom's was still halfway full but she was mad her ice had melted. ha :) The kids are getting totally restless by now and we are getting extremely irritated. The manager comes back to the table and tells us that there are two tickets in front of us and then our food will be up. An hour later and we're still 3rd in line? She tells us that there was a big group that came in..So we are totally feeling unimportant after that statement.

Finally the waitress brings out my salad (don't you usually get salads right after you order? kind of like an appetizer?) There is like no dressing on it whatsoever so I ask for another cup of the caesar. 10 mins later she comes out with a cup of dressing and proceeds to tell me that they are out of caesar dressing. (another thing that they are out of...grr) I had the last of it so she brought me italian to put on with the caesar. Are you kidding me? Sarah..haha...it was hilarious she asks the waitress if we need to split the salad with the kids or are they going to bring their food soon? haha Man the girl is funny!

So then 3 hours later...not really but it seemed that long...they bring out our food. I know this is going to sound like an exaggeration but our food was cold. I promise! My mom ordered a club sandwich and I don't know if you guys have ever had a club sandwich but don't they usually come with some kind of mayo or honey mustard? and don't they have lettuce and/or a tomato? She got a slab of chicken with some melted cheese on it. (it was cold also) the waitress informs her that the veggies are coming out soon. 10 mins later...no veggies so she asks again...still no veggies So I get the manager again and politely (really I was) told her that our food was cold, our waitress had been outside on the patio for a very long time and we were waiting on tomatoes/lettuce for my mom and our waitress just plain stunk! She apologizes and says she understands that we are frustrated and she will talk to our waitress..so the waitress comes back and I tell her that my mom is still needing her veggies and she finally brings them out (on a very hot plate?) and says that she was sorry she had to cut them up herself because she couldn't get no one to plate them for her.

Then she spends an awful lot of time at our table trying to be nice. Ugh! The manager must've really talked to her. We were so frustrated. Needless to say, we didn't leave a tip. The manager did give us our food for free and gave us a gift card for $50.00 to come back! I don't know why we would want to go back there..haha but I'm sure we'll try it again and hopefully we have a better experience! We should've ate at Rib Crib because I know that's where Sarah and I really wanted to eat :)

Oh, what a day! We had fun though. I got a lot of cute clothes for the girls and Holly got a lot of cute maternity clothes. Oh and I bought a Christmas present today!! First one for the season..haha.

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!
