“Shrimp bussing. Just the right amount of season. Broccoli on point. Not over cooked and mushy. Soft yet firm. The potatoes, now them wasn't so great. I'd say they were somewhat over cooked. Didn't eat them, but I most definitely SMASHED the rest. Lots of juice seasoned just right. Oh, and was noot at all heavy on the salt.👌“

“Went out to eat at the Whitehouse Inn ... my bill was $23.16. I gave him $40.00.... should have gotten back 16.84. I would have left him a $5.00 tip. But he brought me back $7.00. Got that???? So I went straight into the kitchen and found him. He knew ASAP and I said I gave you $40.00 and showed him the 7.00 he immediately gave me $10.00. So just to be nice the I gave him $2.66 tip. Watch your change back on cash customers... It was a male with black hair and about 45 years old maybe.“
