Thumbs down Poor Tasting Food & Terrible Service

Then the unfresh salads were delivered just before the entree so there was no time to eat the salad before the meal. Then my meal was way over done but at this point it was not worth bringing to anyones attention, I was too hungry & frustrated and based on the waitress demeanor was not confident it would be taken care of. But thats just my 1 experience, I hear many people like it, to each his own.

The wife and I ate at George's this past Saturday and we were terribly disappointed. We arrived at approx 7:10 PM and about 1/2 the tables were available. We were asked to seat ourselves. The waitress came over with the menus. The wife ordered a hamburg plate that turned out to be so-so. I ordered the steak tips and from the moment the waitress placed them in front of me, I knew I was in trouble. They just plain looked dry. Turns out they were dry and chewy. After trying two of them, I could not eat them and I was looking around for the waitress.

We couldn't get her attention and she never came back around to ask how our food was. I ate the salad which didn't seem too fresh but the fries were OK. When the waitress finally came over, she asked if we were finished. I told her how disappointed I was with the steak tips and she replied that she had them before and that she liked them. She brought the check over and I was charged full price for my portion of the meal. Frankly, on the rare occasions that I have encountered similar situations in similar eating establishments for example, Paugus Diner, the meal was taken off the check or was discounted by 50%. I laid down my money, left the waitress a 10% tip for her poor service and we left vowing never to return.
