So my husband and I took our 2 boys to Original Joes last night for dinner. We arrived shortly after 530. I ordered a caesar, my husband had coffee, and we ordered some nachos
to start. 30 mins later, our nachos arrived. A massive pile of plain chips, very minimal cheese, some soggy veggies, and completely unseasoned, dry chunks
of ground beef thrown on top. Whatever, by the time the nachos came, the kids were starving and cranky, so we ate them. 40 MORE Minutes go by, 6:40pm a full hour after we got there! and our waitress comes up to us and informs us that our ticket was lost, and our food would be out in 8 minutes. We had a movie to catch at 730, so we were running out of time, and our kids were starving. Another 15 mins go by, and we had to tell our waitress that we had to leave, and couldn't wait anymore. Both kids were in tears at this point, and were soooo hungry. Our youngest was so distraught that we had to cancel our family movie night , quickly grab some mcdonald's, and head home. It was a nightmare. We saw several people arrive, eat, and leave. I have never had such a horrible experience at a restaurant before. The food we ordered, we will never know if it was good or not, and the nachos that did arrive were AWFUL!!!....also, WHY IS IT SO DARK IN THERE!!?!?!?!? IT WAS DEPRESSING!
