Do they have bottomless mimosas?

Unfortunately no. They have a good selection of drinks but no bottomless mimosas. My best friend and I love bottomless mimosas for brunch. Otherwise it's a great place to go.

Do they have a kids menu?

Yes they have a kids menu and it's very simplistic. I hope this helps. RR-:)

Do you have any vegan burgers?

Yes

How many TVs?

4 TVs total. 2 at the bar, one in the corner, and a smaller one near the entrance. If you are coming to watch a game, the bar would be the best place to sit because it's hard to watch those TVs if you are sitting anywhere else.

I see that they have gluten free buns. Are all of their fries gluten free also?

Double check with your server, but I think most - but not all - of the fries are gluten free. The Poutine Fries are definitely not gluten free because of the gravy, but most everything else should be safe.

Peanut allergy friendly?

Yes it is

Do they re-fill growlers?

No. Only breweries can fill growlers and they don't brew their own beer. Calicraft is currently the only place to get growlers filled in Walnut Creek.

Blue neon arches, a huge underwater mural, plush chairs and low tables along the back wall. Worth the detour. Chris was working the bar on his second day and greeted us like a regular. I skipped my usual Manhattan and went with the Smoke Break, bourbon with bitters, smoke and black cherry. He nailed it. That is the one I would order again. Kudos to Chris for making the smoke linger and make the drink taste fantastic. I had this one in Oregon and it was cool but Chris did a better job with his method that really did serious justice to the name. My wife wanted the Cucumber Cooler, but they were out of cucumber. She pivoted to Sauvignon Blanc, and they were out of that too. The wine list runs four whites and four reds, so there is not much room to maneuver if the cocktails are not your thing. Chris read the situation, offered up a Paper Airplane since she wanted something refreshing, and put it on the house. Classic good bartending. It was louder than expected for how few people were in the room. On a Saturday with a DJ, music and dancing, I would guess the volume gets close to a rave. Go Tuesday or Wednesday if you want to hear the person across from you, and you will probably catch them fully stocked. My guess is weekends clean them out. Cocktails run 16 to 18 dollars. There is also a 300 dollar tequila and cognac number called La Maria served in a glass rimmed with gold dust, if you have something to celebrate. Happy hour is Tuesday through Friday, 3 to 5. They are on the ground floor of the Waymark apartments at 121 Pringle Ave with a small patio out front and heaters. Great spot to hang out and talk with friends, and a good pre dinner or post dinner stop rather than a destination for the whole night. When those doors shut you are transported somewhere neat. I would go again.

If you're driving, there's a parking lot shared with the neighboring office buildings, and this is the one downer: it isn't free. The lot runs on Metropolis Parking, so you'll need to create an account since it's automated and tracks your license plate. Scan the QR code at the register to validate one free hour. Otherwise it's $2.50 an hour plus a $1.50 service fee. We stayed 1 hour and 44 minutes and paid $4 after the complementary hour, so it's not terrible, just a hassle to set up. The ambiance is my favorite part. It's entirely outdoors, but there's plenty of shade. We went on a Sunday with football on, and once the Niners game started they put it on all the TVs and turned the game audio on too. The space is split into three distinct areas: an adults-only deck that's slightly elevated, a family and kids section along the outer fence, and a main middle area open to everyone. It's family and dog friendly, and both times we've visited there have been lots of kids, so keep that in mind if you want a more adult environment. Since it's strictly outdoors, a rainy or cold day could be a tough time to visit, but when the weather is nice it's a great place to grab a beer, a bite, and some sports. Ordering is flexible. You can order at the main counter, or scan the unique QR code at your table, order from your phone, and they'll bring everything right to you. My wife and I each had a different hazy IPA and both were good, and the overall beer selection is nice. On the food side, the burgers are above average but not spectacular. The fries were the better side: crispy and well seasoned with a spice blend. The Oreo and brownie cheesecake was a hit, and my wife and son devoured it. Prices are reasonable for the area, and the food and beer both hold up for what you pay. Overall, it's a fun, laid-back spot for families, dog owners, and sports fans, with a great setup.

One look at the shelves tells you they have the base for any drink you want. We split the Margherita flatbread, pesto, fresh mozzarella, and blistered cherry tomatoes, and it hit the spot as a drinking snack. The menu goes deeper than expected for a bar, with sliders, naan tacos, and charcuterie if you show up hungry. Service was good considering the staff-to-crowd ratio. Sevan stayed attentive the whole time and clearly knows his stuff. The vibe is chill and conversation-friendly, not too loud for the size of the room, with a bank of TVs toward the back if you want to catch a game. Logistics are easy. The bar sits a short walk from Pleasant Hill BART and parking in the area was no trouble. I've been a few times before and this visit confirmed why I keep coming back.

My most recent visit fell far short of satisfactory and, indeed, posed a significant health risk…read moreby. My husband and I made a point of clearly communicating my severe nut allergy to our server. This critical information was reiterated on two subsequent occasions: first, when I opted for the salad after the tomato soup was unavailable, specifically noting the limited nut-free choices, and again, when my husband ordered the tiramisu cocktail. Given that we frequently share dishes, I inquired if the garnish on his drink contained nuts, prompting our server to verify with the bar and confirm its absence. We ordered the beef and lamb dumpling appetizer. The menu description for this item did not list any nut ingredients. Shortly after we began consuming the dish, my husband noted an unexpected crunchy texture. A query to another staff member, who then consulted our server, led to our server returning to our table and asking about my well-being. At this point, I was already experiencing a tingling sensation in my tongue, a clear indicator of an allergic reaction. When I directly asked if the dish contained nuts, our server confirmed the presence of pine nuts, responding with "I know, I'm sorry," when reminded of my previously stated allergy. This incident is profoundly disturbing. It highlights a critical lapse in the establishment's adherence to food safety protocols, specifically concerning allergen communication and staff training. The failure to accurately disclose all ingredients on your menu, coupled with the apparent disregard for my repeatedly communicated life-threatening allergy, is unacceptable and put my health, and potentially my life, at severe risk. My evening, which was intended to be a celebratory occasion, was instead marked by fear and distress. I expected a thorough investigation into this matter, a detailed explanation of the immediate and long-term steps the establishment planned to implement to rectify these deficiencies including improvements to the menu labeling practices, comprehensive and mandatory allergen awareness training for all staff, and a review of overall safety procedures to ensure such a dangerous oversight does not affect other patrons. Instead I got an email saying they would look into it and get back to me in a week. It's been almost 9 months.

I recently had an experience at Broderick in Walnut Creek that I feel compelled to share, highlighting not only the quality of service but the incredible kindness extended by their staff, especially a server named Tarah. Mistakenly, I placed an order at Broderick thinking it was the one in Sacramento. Realizing my error, I was fully prepared to face the consequences of my $100 mistake. However, Tarah, with an understanding and compassionate approach, turned the situation around. She listened patiently as I explained my mix-up and, to my utter surprise, informed me that they would refund my entire order. This gesture was made purely out of the goodness of their hearts, showcasing an exceptional level of customer service and empathy that is rare to find. Tarah's professionalism, kindness, and quick action to resolve a customer's mistake speak volumes of the ethos at Broderick. It's not just about dining; it's about creating a memorable experience for their patrons. This incident has left a lasting impression on me, and I am beyond grateful for the understanding and generosity shown. As this is something I wouldn't financially recover from. I cannot recommend Broderick enough, not just for their delicious menu, but for their remarkable staff who go above and beyond. If you find yourself in Walnut Creek, do yourself a favor and visit Broderick. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Tarah, you'll be in excellent hands. Thank you again, Tarah, and the entire team at Broderick, for turning what could have been a frustrating experience into a heartwarming story of kindness and exceptional service. I will definitely be coming by. read more

A Decent Spot in Walnut Creek with a Few Hiccups * Customer service: 3 stars * Professionalism: 4 stars * Cleanliness: 3 stars * Food: 4 stars * Ambiance: 4 stars * Accessibility: 3 stars So, we finally checked out Broderick on a lively Saturday night. It's been on our 'Places to Try' list for a while. After a 10-15 minute wait (with a friendly nudge to the hostess), we grabbed a spot. The seating is cozy--maybe not perfect for an intimate dinner, but they also offer outdoor seating with warm lamps. There's enough TVs for the sports crowd. The drinks? Well, they're pretty average-priced. Oh, and when we were there during the holidays, they even had a menu for some fancy winter-themed cocktails. Now, onto the grub. My wife's Johnny Cash Burger was a beast, even with a mix-up in the customizations. I went for a simple salmon fish BLT; got the L and the T, but the B (aka bacon) was MIA. No biggie, though. And a nod to the salad--it was hefty and shareable. Parking's a bit hit or miss, but there's a free lot across the street for the first hour. Now, service. It was a bit slow; had to ask the manager to send a waitress, and she did, no big deal. The waitress was cool, just seemed pretty busy. So, bring some patience for the service, you might need it. Ambience is lively and festive, meeting our expectations. Bathrooms could use a bit more TLC, though. Overall, it's a decent spot; might swing by for takeout or a quick bite. Enjoy! read more

Updated Review: We are unfortunately revising our rating after a second visit. During this visit, we discovered two dead flies in the coleslaw, which was both shocking and unacceptable from a food safety standpoint. We immediately asked that the dish be discarded. To their credit, the manager handled the situation with professionalism and care - issuing a refund and offering a gift card. While this response was appreciated, the experience has impacted our confidence, and we are unlikely to return. At a minimum, we would avoid items that may be exposed or not freshly prepared. Previous Review: So good! The kids thoroughly enjoyed the cheeseburgers and fries, while the adults loved the BBQ pulled pork sandwich and the pulled pork bánh mì. The bánh mì is especially worth ordering - just be prepared for a deliciously messy experience thanks to the flavorful sauce. Overall, the food was excellent, our waitress was kind and attentive, and service was impressively quick once we communicated that we were in a hurry. While there was a delay in initial acknowledgment after being seated, the team responded promptly once notified - having the check ready and preparing to-go boxes in advance, which we truly appreciated. read more

My boyfriend and I used to come here every other week and order our favorite chicken wings and their Oreo shakes. Unfortunately the quality and size of both items was dropping in past two years. But this time the meal was unbelievable different. Smallest chicken wings we ever seen in our life, I do not know how they could find this small chickens. We should call children's right organization for this. Almost no blue cheese. No choice for sauce. What happened to the Oreo shake. It used to be a glass of shake plus a larger potion in the metal cup, almost full that after first time ordering two of them we decided to share the $8 shake and still be happy with the size. Pros: It is not as busy as used to be before. Not only we didn't need to wait for their typical 30-45 mins wait list on weekends, but also they had 4 empty tables inside to pick from. Yay to poor management! The path they are going, soon they need to close this place. My boyfriend asked me that does this review worth my time. I answered this place was part of our weekend plan and I want to give them the feed back and come back in 2 weeks. Either they would read this review and come back to their old way or we should forget this place. read more

My hubby and I sat at the bar and the service was great. Bartenders were friendly, funny, and great to talk with. The food was good, but they don't really cook the burger "rare" even if you ask for it that way. They'll do it medium rare to medium regardless of your request, but then again not a lot of places can cook a rare burger. Nonetheless my burger was tasty aside from being overcooked. One critique (complaint?) I have is that the staff seems to be really young and immature. As someone who worked in the restaurant industry for 15 years, it's kind of off-putting to see a lot of conversation and standing around. The manager (I'm assuming she was the manager because she was the only one not dressed in a black tee) seem to facilitate this and there was a lot of dancing, singing, laughing, chatting while others tried to work. My bartender was busy and my husband needed a few things, and while there were several people around, no one noticed or came to help. The restaurant itself is pretty small, so it's easy to catch these things especially when its happening right in front of you while you try to enjoy your dinner. read more

As soon as we walked in, the staff greeted us, asked if it was our first time, how we heard about them, and told us about their menu. I had the Schwinn with a veggie patty (instead of beef) and Philip had the Green Mile. For sides we tried the chedda tots and fried brussels. Everything was SO GOOD. My burger had lots of flavor from the toppings & also the veggie patty itself. Like most veggie burgers I've had, the patty was a little soft/fell apart a bit, but I expect that & it's not a big deal for me. Philip loved his burger as well. Both were a good size - not difficult to eat & didn't leave us uncomfortably full afterwards. Yay! The chedda tots were very tasty as well, though the texture reminded me more of a hush puppy than a tater tot. The fried brussels sprouts were simple and perfect, and the bitterness was a nice break from the richness of the burgers & tots. This location is small. It wasn't too busy when we were there - no line & we had a place to sit. I can see how it could get very busy/crowded very quickly though. Thanks Chedda Burger! We'll definitely return the next time. read more

This restaurant is located in a bustling area, with eateries on every corner, but what caught my eye was the Maryland crab cakes on the menu, which immediately drew me in. We were seated right away, and I found the ambiance to be cozy without feeling too cramped. However, the tables were quite close together, leading to some overlap in conversation with the neighboring diners. The restaurant features a full bar with an appealing selection of cocktails. As for the crab cakes, while they weren't the Maryland style I had hoped for, they were still decent. We also tried the fish sandwich, which was deliciously light and served on a toasted bun with a side of fries. There's an option to upgrade the fries for an additional charge, which is a nice touch. Overall, I'd consider returning to explore more of the menu, though the crab cakes didn't quite win me over. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, which added to the positive experience. read more

My experience here was different than the other reviews! I had an absolutely incredible experience at this restaurant--everything from the food to the service exceeded my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome, and the level of customer service was truly exceptional.

The service at this restaurant was okay, but the food was very disappointing. The Caesar salad was the worst I've ever tasted. It seemed like it was made with old ingredients, and there was an overwhelming amount of salt and spices to cover it up. My husband ordered the pulled BBQ pork sandwich, but he couldn't even eat it. The pork was overcooked, drenched in excessive spices and salt, and had a burnt flavor (probably because a dirty grill was used to warm it up). It was pretty disgusting. My daughter ordered salmon with rice, but the salmon had a strong, unpleasant smell. The greens that came with it weren't washed thoroughly and were sandy. It was a very bad experience, one we don't plan to repeat. On a positive note, the milkshake was decent. We left the pork sandwich and salad mostly untouched. read more

Broderick Roadhouse is a terrific spot to visit if you're looking for delicious meals and nice service. There are a variety of rich and delicious appetizers, burgers, and other dishes to choose from. If you like fried cheese, the cheese curds are a must-try, and the dipping sauce is a great complement. I like how they have a variety of meat alternatives for burgers while still having salads and vegetarian options. All meals, even those on the children's menu, are presented in ample portions. Indoor seating options include tables with chairs and/or booth seating with air conditioning to accommodate a wide range of party sizes. The wait staff is nice and responsive, and there is plenty of outdoor space in front. Last but not least, they have two clean and well-maintained all-gender restrooms. read more

The fries were really dense, crispy ,and tasty the garlic fries upgrade didn't make that much difference in taste since they are already pretty tasty. My burger was delicious!! It came with a cheese skirt, fried onion crisps, arugula, and a red wine vinaigrette. It was super juicy and the combination of flavors where perfect I can't wait to come back and try their other burgers and delicious foods. definitely recommend this place read more

We were out a little later than normal and still wanted to get dinner, so we landed upon Evelyn's by chance. We were happy to see that they stayed open till 10 o'clock and had positive reviews. We took a little bit of additional time to browse their rather extensive menu, and the wait staff was accommodating and patient. There were many excellent choices, and the woman working the counter was able to offer some suggestions. We took a seat on the front patio. We relished the free fresh bread and extremely tasty vinegar/herb emulsion while we waited. This recipe is absolutely delicious if you enjoy balsamic vinegar! We were happy with the substantial servings and excellent value for the price when our main meals arrived. read more

Super great food!! Their shakes are absolutely amazing and their burgers are classic! They also have salads for vegetarians and it is AMAZING. But I recommend getting a reservations since it's often busy and their is usually a wait, especially during COVID. They also are very clean and the food comes out pretty fast. I recommend it to anyone who wants to celebrate with a brunch or dinner! Also side note: there are really good restaurants and stores around! Here is a list I recommend: Pulled Pork Fried Onion Crisps Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich BBQ Chicken Salad Old School Burger Overall: the food is great, the customer service is nice, and the inside is very spacious and clean! read more

A charming eatery with a full bar. Sandwiches and burgers are the most popular items on the menu. They don't have a private parking lot, unfortunately. Parking must be metered or in a parking garage. They provide both outdoor and indoor dining options. The cuisine was excellent and delectable. I enjoy their garlic fries; I didn't see any garlic bits and the aroma wasn't overpowering, so it appeared to be smothered in garlic butter. Also tasty was the buffalo cauliflower. I chose the salmon club sandwich as my main course. The salmon was delicious and generously sized for two people. I felt the lunch was a little costly, but I guess I can't complain because the food was delicious ;). read more

Food is good, but I had a horrible customer service here. I was with about 5 friends and we ordered appetizers and some burgers. About an hour later we still hadn't received our appetizers and our waitress hadn't come back to check on us for about 30min. I got up and asked someone where our food / waitress was, and was told that she was hiding from us because she was too embarrassed that the kitchen was so backed up and our food was taking so long?? Not the approach I would take. In the end, we spent about 2.5 hours there to just have our burgers boxed up and eat at home somewhat cold. Definitely never coming back here. read more

I had a fantastic experience at Broderick in Walnut Creek! The seating was prompt, and I decided to try the Duck Burger paired with a mango mojito. Let me tell you, it was an absolute delight - the burger was delicious, and the mojito was refreshingly perfect. The server was attentive and exceptionally friendly, adding a positive touch to the overall dining experience. The ambience was perfect to watch the football game when we were there. Parking is a bit tricky but it was a really nice day out and walking was fine! I'm looking forward to returning to Broderick for more delightful meals and great service! read more

Broderick is such a standout in Walnut Creek! The menu has a great mix of creative and comforting dishes, and everything I've tried has been cooked to perfection. From their brunch to dinner options, the flavors are bold and satisfying. The atmosphere is cozy yet stylish -- perfect for a casual meal with friends or a relaxed date night. Staff are friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The cocktails and coffee drinks are also worth trying! If you're looking for a place with great food, a welcoming vibe, and excellent service, Broderick is a must-visit in Walnut Creek. read more

Fun atmosphere, great concept and food with a lot of potential. Sadly it's just too epensive for the way it all comes together in a fast food style mess. Very fresh salad and I love all the burger options. If we had a server who listened to our order I'm sure you would have received 5 stars, but she got everything wrong, from the temperature of the meat to the side order of fries and the side of dressing. She also slammed us and we were forced to eat way too fast. This is a very good restaurant with a Hubcap's soul. It's like paying $100 to dine at Denny's. read more

Decided to give The Breakfast Club a try this past Saturday because it was about 10:30am and I was…read moresitting on my couch trying to decide if I was going to rot there all day or actually be productive with my life... Breakfast won. I met up with a friend here and I'll admit I was a little hesitant at first. I'm not a huge fan of overly sugary breakfasts, and for some reason I had it in my head that this was more of an Asian-fusion breakfast spot, which isn't really my thing. I was wrong. I ordered the Mexican scramble and it was pretty good. I will say it could have used some more seasonings and sabor especially for being a Mexican scramble. Mmm and how bout some cotija?? Huge portion, however and the hash browns were exactly how I like them; crispyyyy. Obviously I also ordered an espresso martini because... you know me. And my friend and I decided to share the Biscoff pancake. OMG. Listen. I woke up Sunday morning legitimately wondering if they would remember me if I came back two days in a row because I wanted that damn pancake again. It was THAT good. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even really like super sweet breakfast foods or Biscoff for that matter. Fluffy pancake, Biscoff drizzle, cookie crumbles, fruit, butter, syrup on the side... whewww. I'ma need another one this week. My only minor annoyance was the waitlist situation. I put our name down and was told about 10 minutes (they dont take reservations), so we walked around the shops next door. I gave them my phone number AND corrected/confirmed it twice, plus I received the initial text verifying I was on the waitlist. After about 15 minutes with no call or text, I finally walked back over to check. The hostess said, "Oh, we called you." Girl... where?! No missed call, no text, nothing. Thankfully I checked back in instead of continuing to browse. Once we were seated though, everything was great. Our server was hella funny and had us cracking up; especially when my friend ordered a scramble and then started asking how the eggs would be cooked and whether it even came with eggs. Sir was basically like... ma'am, you ordered a SCRAMBLE. LMAOOOO The whole vibe was on point. Music was perfect, decor was fun, everything was clean, and it actually felt like you were hanging out at a Breakfast Club. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised to find this vibe in Lafayette. The area needed a little unstuffing and The Breakfast Club understood the assignment. I'll definitely be back, mainly because that Biscoff pancake and I have unfinished business!

Excellent dining in downtown Walnut Creek…read more Had a work lunch here earlier this week. Ambience was classy and parking was free (up to 3 hours) at the parking garage across the street. They put our party of 12 in a private dining room and we had our own server. Appetizers were preordered - spinach and artichoke dip, heirloom tomato burrata, and warm shaved Brussels sprouts - and they were all very good. I especially enjoyed the poached egg and bacon in the sprouts appetizer. For my entrée I had pre-selected the vegetable lasagna - which was filling and delicious, with an unexpected kick to the sauce which delighted me! The lunch atmosphere was collegial (I only knew about a third of the folks dining) and our server kept things moving along. We wrapped up the meal with coffee and dessert - I once again scored by ordering their superb crème brûlée (the server gave me a wink when I ordered it so I knew I was on the right track!). Happy to return!

We finally asked another waiter if he was our server and he said no, and another woman said she wasn't our waitress but she would find out. Maybe 5 minutes later Nikolas came by to take our order and was apologetic. We were starving so we ordered bread. More than 15 minutes passed and we were pissed they didn't bring the bread because we were STARVING and that's why we ordered the bread. The waitress that previously helped us told us that the bread is baked fresh so it may be the reason, upon which I thought, why didn't our waiter tell us that??? Or why didn't the menu mention that? Regardless Hans the manager was told we were agitated at this point and came by. He promised us a pleasant experience for the rest of the evening. Mostly he delivered but the crème brûlée he offered to comp us had run out. So we got some tart thing that wasn't very tarty. Most of our food was yummy. The truffle Mac & cheese was to die for. We want to come back and try the prime rib next time. Anyway, hooray for Hans and the other waitress who helped us (we tipped her separately as she was more helpful than our waiter). Nikolas, we hope to never see again.

However, service after that was pretty slow, our drinks took forever to come and the appetizer took even much longer. We had to wave our waiter down a few times because nobody was checking on us. - Drinks was pretty solid. A little too sweet but it was good. - We got a seafood tower for 2 which was $32 per person and we were sketical because it's pretty cheap. The quality really reflects the price. It comes with a half lobster tail, 2 oysters, 2 very skinny and stale mussels and 2 shrimps each. Super skinny and dry lobster tail, not very fresh oysters and we didn't even where the oysters came from. Do not recommend the seafood tower. - We both got caesar salad. It was ok, a little too much dressing. - The star of the show, primerib was pretty mehhh. Small and inconsistent cuts, the gentleman next to us was complaining about how small his president cut was compared to ours. The flavor was not there and it wasn't very moist. Overall, I won't return for food. The vibes is pretty nice . Music is too loud inside but i will come back for the drinks in the garden

It's not somewhere you got your way to find, but if you're in Walnut Creek downtown area hanging out or shopping, it's a good option to swing by and eat to relax and/or catch up with friends. Ask for extras of the house ranch. It's great to pair with the burgers. California burger (17.99): only burger I've tried, it's solid but the meat is on the drier side and l expensive for what it is Vietnamese chicken (15.99): most popular salad, pretty good Citrus and avocado chop (15.99): refreshing and all the ingredients work well together.

Good menu display, large variety of items Price: a bit high priced - my 2 taco's and 1 drink came out to $23.59 Service: Hostess greeting me was very pleasant, and informative. My first visit and she explained how it all works; politely and very agreeable. Fortunately, even though it was noon; I was only one at the desk and she could spend some time. As I walked away, I saw a crowd of folks walk in and start lining up to order, so I got in just ahead of the lunch rush. Got my pager, my napkins and a table. Soon I saw a mother, her daughter and child sit nearby. I noticed because they were at the register as I was finished with my transaction. Soon they had their THREE items in front of them, enjoying. OK, sometimes that happens, they all had burgers & fries; maybe fish tacos take longer? But as I continued to wait, I thought I didn't know how the pager worked, so stopped another very polite, agreeable young girl wiping tables if the pager was supposed to buzz when ready and she confirmed. Still I waited. I arrived at 12Noon and it was now closing in on 12:30pm (for 2 fish tacos???) Finally I went up to the Pick up desk to ask about it. Perhaps an error in the kitchen and mine was forgotten - it happens. She looked at the pager (302) and clocked they were putting out orders in the 500 range and went back. She said it was being worked on now and would be out "shortly". Again I waited another 10 minutes and again went to the Pickup counter, same girl took a look at me and said it is "coming up now". I mentioned that it was really taking a long time. So I decided to camp out and wait. A few minutes later she came out with the taco's and told me that current process time was 15-20 minutes and it was exactly 20 minutes to prepare my taco's. It was the "we did nothing wrong, we are within our acceptable limits, so no complaints from you" attitude that was irritating. I wasn't about to get into disagreement about the time I placed the order vs. now - I didn't have the receipts to back up my timeline - I doubt she did too. My sense is that my order got forgotten, and coming up to ask about it, discovered it and they quickly made the order. Had she merely apologized for the oversight, I could have been polite and accepted it as "stuff happens". I'm not on the clock, didn't have to be back at work - so easily an oversight I could deal with. But instead she made it far worse with her attitude. No one ever told me it would take 15 - 20 minutes - what if I was on a lunch break, that would eat up most of the break time. I get it, working with the public in food service can be extremely challenging at times. But a simple apology for the time inconvenience can soothe a lot of negativity. And that Mother, daughter, child who came in after me; and had a full meal of hamburgers, fries and a drink? They were completely done, and left the table as I brought my taco's back to my table. It definitely wasn't 20 minutes.
