You know folks, I’ve been on the road for most of the last twenty four years and have dined almost everywhere. From Perkins to Po Boys, from fast food to fried chicken, from italian to indian. I can honestly say I’ve never been treated crappier than I was at the Galaxy Diner on St. George’s ave. in Rahway, N.J. Not to be confused with the Galaxy diner in Butler, N.J., there is clearly no relation between the two. A longtime staple of Rahway, the Galaxy was run by three bro-theirs for about fifty years. Well, it’s the old story, theses fellas decided to retire a few years ago and passed the business on to their sons and this is where the downward slide begins. This joint has gone downhill since the three cousins (All of whom are named Lou) took over. The prices have gone drastically up while the quality of service has gone severely down. The food isn’t even that good any more. Just last week I got bad sausage with my breakfast. The coffee cups always have lipstick stains on them, I keep telling them it’s never my shade and the servers, especially on night shit are a bunch of filthy, foul mouths They make Flo from the old “Alice” show look like Princess Di. I’ll be kind and just use initials for now. Hmm, let’s see there’s “D”,,who is a short round woman with a stubby little pony tail. She’s looks too much like a sumo wrestler. To be that large at only nineteen or twenty years old is just ridiculous. She waddles through the dining room trying to hold her pants up and tuck her shirt in while carrying plates of food. She tells customer to “f*** themselves and if the cus- tomer complains to management, they’re told “Too bad” or “Who cares”or “Go somewhere else”. But, my all time favorite is “What you want me to do? Fire her?”UUHHH YEA Then there’s “R”, a guy who insists he’s the best food server in the world. Uh, really dude? Is this the most you can claim in life? Pretty sad. Now let’s see what makes the best food server in the world. This fool is rarely clean shaven, his uniform usually looks dirty.
