This is a cashier criticism. The cashiers for a few months now have been asking me if I left a tip…read moreat the table. I find this highly irritating and I suspect most other customers feel the same. If this is part of the Manager's training for cashiers it should be eliminated promptly. I am generous when service is good, but it's not any business of the cashier about how generous or not generous I am. Adults don't need to be given a "guilt trip" by the cashier about their generosity. Adults know when and how to tip appropriately without a cashier prompting them. Now, the food is almost always good, but I'll make another cashier complaint while I'm at it. Commonly the cashiers will ask if everything was okay and I usually say "yes", but if I ever say "no" which is very rare no cashier has ever offered to resolve the problem. So, why are they asking the question? If it's just meant as a cordial greeting they should find something more useful and appropriate to say such as "Hello Sir/Madam. Will this be cash or credit card?" A follow-up "Thank you." would be perfect after the bill is paid. Now, let's get to ambience. Well, it's not great, but it could be better. It's a wide open room where anyone can see anyone else in the entire building and the noise from all the conversations going on is continual. But, there is also some type of music being played all the time. The music is useless because it just becomes part of the existing noise. The Manager should re-think this and turn the music off. That would be a simple fix to help ambience. And, of course, there are ways to reduce all the people noise, but that involves an investment in seating similar to the old Capri's Italian restaurants or the current Casa Fuentes restaurant where booths have high backs and seating is more plush and sound absorbing. But, that's not likely in the budget. So, simply turning the music off is a no cost way to improve ambience.

Upon walking in there was no one present and you're instructed to place your order on the kiosk. Maybe 5-10 mins later someone came out and acknowledged us to confirm that we placed an order. The ambiance was very open and things seemed to be in disarray or in strange places. On my way to the bathroom there was just a lot of dry goods and supplies they had strewn along the back wall and it was very disorganized. Some spots towards the back look unfinished and some random things in their dining room like coffee cups for sale, personal items out on the high counter and so on. The girl who assisted us was friendly when she did come out once we sat down. Our order for 2 potato boats and chicken wings took about 30ish minutes. I asked for bbq sauce and she said they were out and they make it in house. It was around noonish so I was a bit surprised they already ran out. The young lady told us that our food would be done soon and their "server robot" would bring it out for us. Mind you we are the ONLY table in the restaurant so we found it a bit strange for her to present it that way and then not just bring out the food herself. I feel like having a server robot bring food out to one table doesn't make much sense but perhaps they saw it as a wow factor. The robot is was playing "Move B^tch get out the way" by Ludacris and we were totally caught off guard. I'm not sure if that song is a great choice for the demographic or crowd for Anderson but because we knew the song well so it didn't bother us. Something to reconsider that might be more friendly or appropriate. Onto the food, the potato boats were cooked very well and had great flavor. She seasoned the potato part nicely aside from the other condiments on top. We got a 10 piece wing combo with sweet potato fries. Chicken wings were the smaller ones so they were crispy on the outside and the fries were tasty. Overall, enjoyed the food concept but the execution of service and hospitality can really use some refining. It didn't feel like a personalized experience and had moments of just wondering how everything ties in together. I find it important to acknowledge that guest perception is important and what they are surrounded by. Although the food was solid, the ambiance was unusual and lacked organization or a vision.

I grew up coming here and the food has always been alright, but my husband and I went during the fireworks and were standing in line for a good while. When it was finally our turn, they took two peoples orders that was behind us. They looked us right straight in the eye and said the guys name behind us and asked what they wanted. Then took the kids orders that was also behind us, then finally ours. Like I said I don't mind a family business because that's what Iva and Starr is all about but my goodness.

Since I had not had lunch, I walked around the food court to see what they had to offer. I noticed A Taste of Home and saw my favorite food, oxtail. I was greeted by one of the most pleasant ladies. She welcomed me and took my order. I decided to eat my food in the car because I had an appointment in 40 minutes, so I wouldn't have a microwave to reheat the food after my appointment, which would've taken almost two hours. I consider myself an oxtail aficionado. When I tasted the oxtail, it didn't have the flavor that I'm accustomed to. It was different. It was more of a barbecue/tomato taste type of flavor. Don't be mistaken--it was good nonetheless, but just different. The cabbage and the rice were good as well. Everything was seasoned perfectly. I didn't have to add salt or anything to the dish. The portion sizes were decent for $25. I definitely recommend you go there because next time I'm in the area, I'm going to stop in and grab me another plate!

As we walked up the stairs from Wren Park we decided to stop in for a bite at Doolittles. Sitting on the patio on such a lovely evening next to the water fountain was so nice and relaxing while getting to meet some of the local neighbors. We are new in town and everyone is so friendly! Our server came out promptly and got us set up with menus and took our drink orders. There were several things on the menu I was torn over but decided on the Bourbon Chicken. My husband debated between the Fish & Chips or the Carolina Cuban, settling on the latter with the Sweet Corn Sauté. Neither disappointed. The Bourbon Chicken with broccoli and rice was delicious, although I would prefer maybe a little less sauce as it was almost a soup lol but I'd still order it again. My husband loved the Carolina Cuban. The flavors go so well together that even me not being a huge sandwich person would consider getting it on a future visit. The Sweet Corn Sauté was a nice compliment to the dish as well. Oh, and dinner was Gracie approved! She enjoyed her little bites of chicken, smoked pork and ham as well ;) And finally I want to give a shout out to our server Charlie! Her attentiveness and sweet personality played such an integral part in making our evening so great! Also I'd like to mention that we've been to Doolittles once before, just for drinks with friends after dinner at Maki. We had such a fun time that night! I wish I could remember our bartender's name but she's a freakin rock star. We had a blast!
