Went in today after Band of Brothers meeting. Wanted to get to-go. Walked in, sat at the bar, and waited…
Noticed a young woman behind the desert cabinet and ask if they had a bartender. You said no, and if I wanted a to-go, ask the hostess for a seat, then order. I thought no thanks. Then the manager walks behind the bar, and I ask him why I couldn’t order from the bar?
His words, now this is 3:52 pm, “The bar is closed at night”.

I saw 6 employees including the manager, and two couples seated in the dining are, so it was not a staffing problem. I think it’s just a lazy problem. Too Jays will be like Sonny’s soon. Poor management.
Really like their food.

You were in SUMTER, as in Fort Sumter.

next time go to the one in Brownwood. they're nice, polite & helpful. yes, you can order by asking the girl behind the counter, then wait in the seats for your order. (there is no bar there). if you sit outside they will come & get you when it's ready. i can see why they may want to close the bar early, there's plenty of other places to drink, & don't want inebriated customers

Great to assume if you sit at the bar it’s to drink. I don’t drink. You missed the point. It was 3:52 pm. He said the bar was closed at night. He was lying. He be looking for another job soon enough.

Worst management and staff I've ever seen, is Too Jay's.

Are you saying that the bar was actually open, and he lied about it? Why not just sit at a table as recommended? You could have had your drink. Sorry, but I don't get the level of emotion here.

I’d have to side with Too Jays. You were given advice on where to place a to go order, there are also signs saying “place order here”. Just because you did whatever you felt like doing, doesn’t make them un-accommodating.

The world and all businesses run on procedures, opt to be difficult and you go hungry.

Wow- Just Wow. Good thing you were here to point out flaws without offering anything by way of discussion.

I don't see a 'level of emotion' on display here that is anything other than conversational

I wasn’t told the bar was closed when I first walked in and sat down. Just move along. Please. I’ve never been to a restaurant before where you had to be seated in the dining room by a host to make a takeout order.
you’ll be happy to know that I won’t be back, but it’ll probably closed soon enough.
