I had not visited in about three years. I felt quite nosologic about this place. So I suggested we go for the banana split and a Ruben sandwich.Which I felt was way overpriced at almost $10. I wished as soon as we got there I had kept my mouth shut. The historic building that houses the ice cream parlor is well maintained, however, the bright red booths are broken down with butt prints of a bygone era. The whole place has gone to seed, as my grandma, used say. We ordered a banana split to start with, the perky waitress assured us we could have any flavors of ice cream we wanted, when the split came slightly melted and bedraggled, it was the traditional vanilla, strawberry, and eh disappointed to say the least. We then ordered Ruben sandwiches all around. The sandwiches were greasy affairs only offered with fries some more grease. No offers of green salad or something healthy. I have gone to this establishment for 15+years. Unfortunately, the staff has not represented the company well today. The Manager REFUSED to allow my friends sit at a booth to have lunch. She offered a table because we were a smaller party. When I asked again for a booth she simply said no. Then she told me, if I don't take the table, they would have room for us.NO ONE else was there. I will also let every person I know how unprofessional the staff was to me. The service was really poor.The food was bad. The booths broken down and uncomfortable. An atmosphere of we do not care about this place, What saved the day was a good sense of humor, good friends, and a perspective of what is important. This place obviously needs is a remodel, a caring owner/manager. Join our site and get a 25% first-time- buyer coupon and then receive a VIP discount every month thereafter
