I had a very strange experience at Edgefield this week when I decided to have lunch there with a friend. First of all, I called the day before to make a reservation at 11:45am. I was put on hold for about 3 minutes and when I finally spoke to someone and asked for a reservations for 2, I was told that there was no room available. When I asked again, for only 2 people, I was rudely told that it sounded like I said 15. Wow! Should have been a clue. But no, I went anyway. The menu stated that shrimp bisque was available and since soup sounded great to me, I ordered it. What arrived wasn't bisque at all but a mound of rice with tasteless red sauce and a collection of small shrimp scattered about. I tried my best to eat this mixture, being the type of person that rarely complains to restaurants. But I honestly couldn't do it. After paying my bill, I returned to my home with the worst stomach pains and cramps I've ever had in my life. For the rest of the day, I was extremely sick. Was there a connection? Timing tells me yes. After several bad experiences with service, I came back to McMenamins Edgefield after 1 year for this particular lunch - with hope that things might have improved. But now I can truly tell you that this is absolutely the last place I would go to eat or recommend to someone I valued.
Pros: Parking
Cons: Service, Food, Overall Experience
