I asked to speak with the manager to see when our meals would be served. The manager came over as the meals came out of the kitchen and commented "does this answer your question?"

Is this your attitude? No apology, no offer to comp our sodas? Do you realize the seasonal business is over?

My answer to this manager is you will not see this group back anytime soon!

news flash ALL the snowbirds have NOT flown back-- we're still here

At the least they should given everyone the salt and pepper shakers for your "inconvenience".

LOL…..Best post of the week!

The group of the o.p. was given fair warning so they could decide to stay and wait it out (and converse while passing time together). It was the group's choice.

Wanting free drinks because of their choice that included not calling ahead for a large group coming is……not taking responsibility for their decisions.

As soon as I saw "group of 11" I knew this was going to be negative.

I was there TODAY and had great service and fantastic food. But then I expected good food and service. That is their standard at Evans Prairie as far as I have experienced.

Come on, seriously. When a group this large comes in they are trying their best to get everyone served at the same time and it isn't easy. If you "won't go back" you are only hurting yourself. Go in with a smaller group and give them a second chance. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Probably a good thing and good luck finding a place that will meet your expectations. There are plenty of other restaurants here so I'm sure you will find one.
