Resturant Review

Look at me, now I think I am a food critic!

Last weekend, The Boy decided that he need to sleepover at Gran's house. Like I was going to argue. That left just the 3 of us Saturday morning and that ment we needed to go out to breakfast. I decided we need to try someplace new, and so we headed to a place I had seen driving by, the RED ROOSTER WAFFLE COMPANY. It was late in the am. Around 10:30 or so and there was a pretty good line. This is a place where you order at the counter and then find your table. I had a hard time making a decision, but ended up getting a peach melba waffle. That is a oatmeal waffel with honey butter, raspberry sauce and peaches, oh and whipped crean for good measure! Greg ordered the rooster special with the chicken fried steak. We tried to find a table and ended up hoovering for a bit before ebing able to claim a dirty one, which they quickly cleaned for us. They do have a nice bar height area that looks out the window, but with a one year old that was a little impractical. we settled in and waited for our food. It seemed to me to be a bit of a long wait, but our food arrived hot and ready to be eaten. And I have to say it was pretty darn good. I loved the waffle and so did the one year old. She also inhaled her Dad's eggs and waffle fries (it is the waffle co, what did you expect?) and his chicken fried steak was huge and tasty. I liked that even thought it was not a sit down resturant in a traditional sense, my food was served on a real plate and with real silverware! Score for the Rooster. The only real problem, besides the little longer than expected wait for our food was the whole getting a table thing. I am sure that the seat yourself process is great on a random Tuesday morning, but on the weekend it DOES NOT WORK!!! They could really use someone to run the front of the house and make sure that tables are moving and that people are getting seated in the order that they order. We clearly were heading for a table when this nasty little b&^%$ came running and took it right as dear hubby stepped to put his hand on the chair and then she sneared at us. I hope that someday when she has a small child she remembers that moment, and that karma smacks her upside the head! I have no patience for people like that.

So, overview....

Food.........tasty. There are a few more things I think I need to try there. We will be returning, but NOT NOT NOT on a Saturday morning.

Service......the guy who I assume runs the place was busy making it go as best he could, but he was spread too thin. I am hoping it will all work itself out there. But they were very nice taking our order and making sure we got our food and liked it.

We will go back. I liked it. Reminded me of some of the places we saw when we were in Southern Georgia a number of years ago.
