I remember when the place first opened. I grew up in Garden Home in the 70's and 80's so I'm very familiar with the location. It used a be a friendly place with good (if not great) food and excellent courteous service. Now? Not so much. Not even close, actually. Oddly, we still occasionally go, mostly because it's close and convenient. It's never our first choice. The waitresses all seem impatient and bored these days, often bordering on bitchy. Our waitress last night was this frumpy little twentysomething who was not at all interested in smiling or checking in on us even after (a different) waitress brought out our overpriced salads and hamburgers. She was quick to the bill, though. The icing on the whole experience was when I inquired about the tomatoes and if they were local. My wife is pregnant and there has been a recent tomato scare. She came back 10 minutes later and chuckled the answer, ""Mexico"". ""What so funny?"" I said. ""We don't know where our tomatoes are from"" was her reply. Whatever. We almost left then and there but were tired and had already eaten at Seasons and Regions three times that week anyway so we decided to just eat and go. \r

Terrible service, odd corporate/chain restaurant feel, everything is a la carte ($$), and the food is just o.k. Non-present ownership makes it difficult to voice concerns as they happen. Would not reccommend as there are better options nearby. A shame, really
Pros: Always an available seat
Cons: Terrible attitude among waitstaff
