Let me begin,
I ordered a 45 dollar delivery. The order was a large buffalo chicken calzone, chicken and tips dinner with the steak and cheese roll ups.
Upon delivery I start to eat the meal and I was told by my date that the calzone didn't taste like buffalo, just plain chicken fingers. I grabbed a slice and confirmed this. No big deal, So I called back and informed them that the order was wrong. My first problem was here, I was told to stop eating the calzone and they will make me a new one and come collect the wrong order.
ok a little weird, still hasn't sat right with me but I went back to my dinner and movie.
Not the best feeling telling a date we need to stop eating because they are coming to collect the food and see what happened.
Now a little irritated, I am looking at the majority of my order and I cant eat it. The steak and cheese roll ups were gone in just a few bite, no big deal it was the appetizer. Now I am splitting the chicken and tip dinner with my date while I stare at the majority of my order that I cant eat because they said they were coming to collect the food.
A few minutes of this goes by before I decide to call back and ask for a manager.
I get the manager on the phone and ask if she is familiar with the order. she states she was. I go to explain that I was upset that I am staring at food I cant eat because they wanted to collect it when they dropped off the correct order. She explains to me that they do this to confirm if the order was made wrong, this process is used to train the employees. She literally told me that they were going to take the food which was in my possession, I had taken bites of and had sat in my house for over 30 minutes, and take it back to the restaurant and open it up to confirm or deny my complaint.
Does anyone else find this extremely disgusting!?
To take food that has been eaten, from someones house and bring in back into a restaurant kitchen!!!??
I mean I know I am a clean person and didn't expose this food to anything crazy but that is extreme to me. To bring food back to a restaurant when they cant full guarantee that it is or isn't contaminated, or has any harmful things attached to it.
Moving on, the manager never once said, I am sorry for the inconvenience / The order will be credited towards a future order or anything. She only disputed everything I brought up as a concern or complaint.
Lastly, I get a loud and rude knocking on my door. It was the driver who had recently been talked to and was upset. First words out of the kids mouth as I opened the door was, " What there wasn't enough buffalo sauce on there?"
I responded, " Listen this is nothing against you, I didn't taste any buffalo sauce. Here is the calzone that you came to collect and I dont wish to take the replacement."
The delivery kid responds, " Are you serious?"
I stated, " Again nothing against you I don't want the replacement food, have a good night."
Like most people, after complaining about food, i didn't feel safe eating anything from them. Especially after finding out that they allow OUTSIDE partially eaten food back into the kitchen from someones residence.
In conclusion. Whether or not this establishment took the incorrect calzone back to the restaurant or not, this is what they told me they were going to do. To me this is beyond disgusting to take partially eaten food from a customers house and return it to the establishment to investigate. I never once got a sorry for the order being wrong, for the wasted time, for my dinner being cold after this phone call with the manager and no follow up call once everything was said in done.
I will never ever be a customer at this place again even though the food is good. To find out the lack of care for food safety and potentially get an entire restaurant sick is enough for me.
PLEASE don't contact me regarding this complaint, I will not accept a sorry or any credit now. I paid for food that I never ended up eating, I was treated like none of this mattered. read more
