The food was awful and the service was even worse. We ordered fried chicken which was so heavy with grease the waitress offered to get the owner. When the owner never came I went to pay the bill and asked why she never came. The girl stated that the owner didnt want to, that chicken is supposed to be that way. I was agast so I insisted to speak with the owner then. She came over- I told her of my concern. She arrogantly said "" HOW ABOUT i TAKE THE BILL AND YOU NEVER COME BACK"" I could not believe someone had the nerve to treat paying customers in such a manner. My husband went home sick and could not eat the remaining chicken. He actually came down with food poisening. The doctor at the ER said that often restraunts have old fried chicken that they drop in the fryer and call it fresh--which results in super greasy chicken and food poisening in this case. This was arrogance at its greatest in that the owner seemed to feel they dont need new clientel or to even keep old ones. Never go there unless you want to watch the staff watch football and fight in the kitchen..ya --they did that too!! November 1, 2011 THIS IS THEIR ADD AND IT IS A LIE The Chic A Dee Cafe is the place to go to in Topeka for a home-cooked meal that will please your palate and satisfy your hunger. Owners Ken and Linda McDonald apply their more than twenty years in food service to provide the tastiest chicken fried steaks, whole catfish, fried chicken, grilled or breaded pork chops, a different soup each day, homemade pies, and a variety of other menu items- all at reasonable prices and served by a courteous and efficient staff.\r

AFTER MY EXPERIENCE-WHICH WAS A NEGITIVE ONE, AT THE CHICK A DEE CAFE, I HAVE PONDERED THE QUESTION, WHY ARE PEOPLE SO RUDE WHEN THEY ARE AT FAULT AND THEIR PRODUCT-FOOD - IS SO SUBSTANDARD. I CAME UP WITH THE ANSWER. THESE PEOPLE WERE PERHAPS NOT LIKING THAT A BI RACIAL COUPLE CAME IN AND CHALLENGED THEIR LACK OF EXPERTISE IN THE COOKING ARENA.- WHILE WE WERE CURTIOUS, THEY WERE NOT. THEY DIDNT TRY TO KEEP OUR BUISNESS BUT TOLD US NEVER TO COME BACK --EVEN THOUGH THEIR FOOD WAS TAINTED. MOST RESTRAUNTS , WHEN YOU POLITELY TELL THEM OF YOUR CONCERN, OFFER TO HAVE YOU COME BACK AND APOLOGISE. nOT THESE FOLKS. WHILE WE ATE DINNER WE WATCHED THEM WATCH THE KU GAME WHILE CUSTOMERS WERE WAITING. WE SAW EMPLOYEES FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER IN THE KITCHEN AND THEY FORGET TO BRING OTHER PATRONS THEIR FOOD. SO PERHAPS THEY ARE NOT BIGOTS AFTER ALL, PERHAPS THEY ARE A BUNCH OF BACK HILLS, NO CLASS ,FOLKS THAT DONT KNOW HOW TO COOK OR TREAT PEOPLE. DONT WORRY LINDA MCDONALD OWNER --WE WILL NOT COME BACK AND WE WILL TELL ALL WE KNOW OF YOUR BEHAVIOR LKE SOMEONE RAISED IN A BARN--OH -EVEN MY HORSES BEHAVE BETTER THAN YOU.\r
