I want to thank all my customers that have written nice things about us. It makes me feel good about what we are doing here. Being in this business can be a thankless job, but when my customers come down to the kitchen and tell me how much they enjoy everything that is the greatest feeling in the world, and I hope you will be my customers for along time to come and yes we are struggling right now but I think alot of other restaurants are struggling right now to. When your in a bad economy the first thing that people cut out is going out to restaurants,plus we have one strike against us and that is that we are on a back road and not out in front by the bay, think about it if you ever see anything about Meredith it is always about down towards the bay they never say anything about the main street. I have advertized in the paper and radio and it helps a little but not a lot so all I can hope for is word of mouth. I still have customers that have told me that they live 3 or 4 streets down and never knew we were here until there friends tell them about us plus I have had people tell me that they did not think the building was as big as it is because they are floored when they see we have a full bar and a screened in porch that seats 22 people. I have been here for 9 years and my wife and I dont plan on going anywhere.We are trying different specials like now we have on sunday, monday and tuesday anything on the menu is $10.95 and includes soup or salad, plus I am in the process of writing out new menus and adding some new items. A little self promotion!!! also I want to address something that southern comfort said about my wife being cranky and overlooking that, and then someone who has never been here said something sarcastic about that, That is not a fair judgement of my wife what you dont relize is when we get busy she is trying to get peoples orders and then has to go and get there drinks and bread and make sure no one waits, right now business is to slow to hire someone so my wife and I do everything and I think people mis judge her because she is trying to keep everyone happy so she does not have time to talk with everyone.Please dont judge her that way. Once we get into the summer we will have more help like bartenders and waitstaff. Anyone reading this give us a try and I think you will enjoy yourself. And to all our regulars my wife and I thank you for staying with us Barry and Karen
