We have eaten here many times and have never had issues with anything. Yesterday, my husband and I took our son and our friends to eat early afternoon. We walked in and the waitress looked up at us and we asked if we could sit anywhere she yes and that she would be with us in a minute. We proceeded to the outdoor tables due to us have 2 younger kids we felt they would do better out there. We were at our table for probably 5 to 7 minutes before anyone came out which is fine because there were quite a few people inside at the time, except this waitress flung the door open and screamed did someone seat yall out here?! I was taken back by the rudness in her tone but my husband said no but whoever was inside when we came in said we could sit wherever. She then slammed the door and went back inside. We weren 't sure what to think about it but if they didn 't want us outside all they had to do was say that we needed to find a table inside. Our friend went in to use the bathroom and mentioned to a waitress that we were sitting out there and that we didn 't want our kids to disturb anyone inside and the waitress grunted and never even looked up at her. There was no reason for them to be as rude as they were and we will not be returning. You would think as well known as they are they would have nicer people working. Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
