Ok, we made our decision and will NEVER go back.
I'm not sure if Katie Belles has an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. If that is the case, most establishments offering all you can eat will not let you take food home.

Having said that, the manager should have just looked the other way. I'm sure it was obvious you were only taking a few scraps for your doggie. I understand that was a negative experience, but perhaps she was having troubles of her own. Overall I think Katie Belles is a great place.
