We have all taken how good life is in America for us 5 percenters. Until 2 years ago nobody thought about the fact that there are truck drivers that bring everything to your local store or supermarket that probably has over 50,000 items. Nobody was really concerned over the restaurant servers at your average diner trying to get by on lousy tips. We had plenty of everything and everybody enjoyed the good life. Well life has changed for all of us now whether you have the money or not this is the way it's going to be for the next 5 or 10 years. If you can't get cream cheese buy some butter or American cheese slices and just rough it. God bless America things will get better

Here's a funny story, about 25 years ago we went to Los Angeles to visit my brothers and were taken out to PF Chang's which I'm sure you all know it's a Chinese restaurant. My wife wanted tea, and was told they had none! PF Chang being a fancy place served in heavy metal tea pots and they had no one at the time washing the tea pots after they came back into the kitchen which of course is ridiculous. We will comment that of course that the supermarket was next door and they could just buy tea bags and bring it to us. I probably haven't thought about that for 25 years but it's very similar to going out to buy French fries or dressing at the supermarket next door to Harry's. But of course no one ever has common sense

Complain, complain......look around and see what's happening in todays world. A little understanding and compassion might brighten your life. Do you think Harry's wants to be bashed on this platform over blue cheese dressing, fries and a fattening bananas foster? Very sad.......speaks to who you are!

Went to Harry's on the 27th. Use to live in Louisiana and luv Cajun cuisine. Waited approximately 90 minutes for our dinner and the when it came 3 of the 4 dishes were cold. The waiter did keep checking on us and was obviously embarrassed. Too bad.

We went to Harry's last spring. It was not good. Kitchen or server forgot half our order. By the time we got it we had already finished the rest of the meal. The food itself was nothing great. Will not go back anytime soon considering the drive and the difficulty parking.

Default Darrell's Spanish Springs

My wife and I like Darrell's but we have found the Spanish Springs location lacking. The other locations are pretty good considering they are struggling to get staff like every other food service location in the country,

OP goes out of their area to have a special Anniversary dinner. They were disappointed when simple menu items were not available. They drove a long way, only to be disappointed. They share the experience so others may not also be disappointed if they are thinking about going. I thank them for info so I and my wife would be able to make other arrangements, while you choose to scold them complaining and criticize them for their choice of "fattening bananas foster".

Harry's should want to be bashed if they are driving customers away with bad service. I like reading restaurant reviews, both negative and positive. I think they are entertaining and useful.

Reminds me of the shortages of everything that occurred in Russia when the Soviet Union existed

Ha, reading the OP's title I thought this thread was going to be another tabloid article about that red headed royal that left town

They actually do go into Winn Dixie for things when they need them. Both grocery stores open at 7 AM so before that no dice.
