On April 23 four of my friends and myself met at CJ Calloways after work for drinks and supper. Immediately after the first two arrived they sense an irritation in the waiter. They tried to talk to him, joking a bit and got a sharp rely with a glare back from him. Shortly after that a third person joined the table and soon after that he took their food orders. When I arrived I had to wait for some time for him to return to the table to take my order - which was done with nothing but - did you want something? One of the gals did not get her french fries when he brought the food out and when she mentioned it he seemed quite surprised. He returned after awhile stating that the french fries would be coming shortly. At that time we all needed our drinks refreshed but he hurried away without asking if we wanted another drink. Finally we got up and went to the bar and ordered our own drinks. Sometime later he did return to remove some empty plates and we mentioned that the french fries had not arrived and he seemed quite put out by this. He was then told since she was completely done with her sandwich that she no longer wanted the fries. Again he did not ask if we wanted or needed anything else. Finally he just came back and asked if we were ready for our bills. We weren't - but we could tell he was so irritated that we weren't about to order any more from him. We realize that the place was very busy that evening - and would have understood completely - but the rudeness we received was uncalled for. That plus the fact that not far from us was a table of three gals - quite a bit younger that us 50-60 year olds that received at great amount of service. He even stopped to talk, joke, etc. Which is part of customer service but it should be the same for all customers - not just selective ones. The food was good as it always is - but have to say the service was the very poor.
Pros: poor servce
Cons: good food, nice place
