The service isn't great. They dnt tell you about offers or specials going on. Ive ate here several times hoping something gets better with the food. Nope. The meats arent cooked til done except for bacon. The chicken was still white from being undercooked. I only got a small triangle of ham to try and I ended up getting food poisoning. I tried what I thought was chili but it was not. It had cabbage in it. It was very nasty. Not good at all. There lettuce for salads always tastes nasty. I cnt explain that one. I love salads but im never able to eat theirs. It always has a sticky dirty floor underneath your table. So if your looking for a deal its not worth getting sick or not getting foods that you wld enjoy. We paid around $16.00 a person with tax plus a tip each all we got that was edible was the choc ice cream cake (once we paid) and lemon water and one coffee. We saw papers for a free one for that day only at the register that no one was telling anyone about so we had to take it to go and eat it in the car. I like real potatoes, real eggs, and real gravy not boxed or powdered. I wnt be going back. I pay alot less going to apple bees and never having an issue with anything. For great chicken Food City in Middlesboro Ky hot bar is the best around here.
