Never bused the table during our time there
Mike C.

Saturday, March 19 2022 was a day that I encountered one of the worst dining experiences ever, and since I am a Boomer, I've had a lot of experience under my belt to compare my dining experience. Let me set the scene for you. My companion and I walked into a chaotic scene as we entered this fine establishment, there were four employees working. Two in the kitchen and two waitstaff. There were four tables that were occupied by guests. There were eight tables without any occupants. There was a couple in front of us, waiting patiently and after a couple of minutes, another couple came in behind us. The waitress came up to us and said they would get to us shortly, they mentioned that they were breaking in a new server and things were progressing slowly. We nodded our assent to her comment and then I noticed that every one of the empty tables were cluttered with the remainders of other guests who had eaten there previously and the tables had not been bussed yet. The couple in front of us only wanted a couple of cups of coffee to go. That simple tasks over four minutes to accomplish (my industrial engineering background came to the surface as things were not going well so far) and then the waitress came up to us and told us it would take a few minutes to get a table ready for us due to no tops we're ready yet. By now we had been standing at the front door for about ten minutes. My companion muttered "...not with this s**t!", and asked for a washcloth to clean the table. The waitress got her a towel and my action packed companion proceeded to wipe off a table top and remove the detritus off it plus she ended cleaning off another table for the couple that were waiting with us. The food was mediocre but it was hot when it was brought to the table. Low expectations result in low disappointment, after all, it was a Huddle House. During our time there, at least four other parties came in but retreated out of there due to the disheveled appearance of the place. The staff did not bus any tables during our time there but did manage to get their conversations including phone calls. I took some photos of the place after we ate to illustrate the state of the restaurant. I'm avoiding this place going forward, eating a gas station burrito is a step up from this place.

Yum!

First time at a Huddle House and have heard it's hit and miss but this location did not disappoint. Perhaps it was because it's a sunny Sunday or because of the amazing server Rosalinda. From the second we stepped in she seated us right away and was the sweetest server ever. I could tell they were short staffed but she was on it. The food was delicious. The coffee was great. We will definitely be back.

If I could give this place no stars I would! My companion took me to this nightmare for breakfast told me it was like a Waffle House. I said okay so here is where it goes down hill... We walked in and a couple asked for 2 coffees to go but after 6 min waiting they walked out, my companion and I had been assured seating in a few minutes that she needed to clean of a table 4 more minutes of waiting noticed no tables had been cleaned from previous unlucky diners. Seeing that there were only 2 waitresses and 3 cooks that were cranking out food but sitting there due to a mediocre busy restaurant the waitresses were busy serving. Another unfortunate couple came in after us and I just decided to take matters in my own hand and asked the waitress for a wet rag and I would clean a table off and I cleaned one for the couple who entered behind us to keep their wait lesser then ours. I was thanked by the waitress who was nice enough and the couple who were grateful. Another 10 min go buy we get asked what we would like to drink which was fairly simple 1 coffee, 1 Oj and 1 water. That came in wrong and she forgot the cream and Splenda which I had to tell them which one that was " the yellow packet" 3 coffees later and Oj drank we finally get to order. Food was warm because the waitresses were taking care of customers but not cleaning the tables all around us that were still loaded from last breakfast rush. We were given several excuses but none viable in my book as I watched the cooks and the waitress that was supposedly training the other (lmao) chatting it up as soon as customers were leaving. The new waitress took several drink breaks from the soda dispenser and at one point not one employee was to be seen as all three cooks and both waitresses were gone on breaks. Our waitress apologized said she needed a cigarette break and had to make a phone call. When we and the other couple left STILL no tables had been cleaned including ours and the other couples table. I feel very fortunate that I did not end up with food poisoning and only left with the reminder that Waffle House will never have to worry about loosing business to this chain as it is the worst ever to eat at.

Very Clean Huddle House! Perfect!!

See all

Sat down and waited over 15 minutes with no server at all. No menu, no drinks, no silverware, no service at all. Walked out.

We ate here prior to going to our boat tour on Caddo lake. The restaurant is in the heart of…read moreJefferson City. There is free street parking and on a Sunday it was not hard to find. The restaurant is very simple. There is nothing fancy about the ambience at all. It's just downhome country. You order at the register and then grab a table. We got there just before the after church Sunday rush so we were able to find a table easily. Shortly after we got our food, the line was out the door. The food came very quickly. They call your name and bring the food to the table. I had a two meat platter with turkey and brisket. The turkey was tender and just slightly smoky. The brisket was excellent. I forgot to ask for lean like I usually do but the brisket was not overly fatty. The meat was very smoky, very tender, and very flavorful. The portion was generous for $18. I would guess half a pound of each meat (?) The sauce on the table is a bit sweet and tangy. The BBQ beans were excellent. The potato salad was good but needed salt. We all enjoyed our meal. Even the kid, who is super picky, ate a bunch of brisket. It was a good choice and I definitely would eat here again if we came to Jefferson City.

This place looks fun from the outside and a bit dicey on the inside, but the line told me I was in the right place. It was almost back to the door when I walked in, but it moved quickly. Seating is pretty limited, especially for a party of one or two as most tables have 5-6 places. Everybody was so friendly. I think I could've asked to sit down if I wanted to, but I went ahead and got my order to go. The menu seems pretty reasonable with baskets and platters between $10 and $18. A lot of reviews seem to talk about the Swamp Fries, so I had to get a small order of those. I also got the sliced Brisket sandwich with a side of onion rings. The brisket barbecue is served dry but has a good smoke right on it and good flavor by itself, but they give you plenty of barbecue sauce to add to it. That's exactly what I did along with some pickles to make my sandwich taste just right . The Swamp Fries are wonderful with fresh FF, smothered in chopped brisket, shredded cheese, and sliced jalapeños. There's no way I could've eaten a large so I'm glad even though it was just two dollars more I decided to opt for the smaller portion and still had leftovers to take home. Overall, really good food definitely worth a stop in.
