I loved it here when it just opened but lately the service has been getting worse. I normally eat alone and last time I sat myself at the diner it took them a while to attend to me. Today I ordered online to-go. It said it would be ready at 10:45am. I got there at 10:50am and they told me it was going to take another 20 more minutes. I told them I couldn’t wait and asked them to cancel the order. The lady at the register told me to do it online. I looked everywhere on the confirmation...read full review
ordered the BLT. One one half was about a half slice of bacon and a pies and a half one the other. Entire sandwich only has a half of a slice of tomato. The fries were ice cold. I sent it back. No manager even attempted to touch the table. They weren't busy. The quality has been poor in McAllen Texas for about y to 8 months. I seriously doubt I will go back.
Don't waste your time. Food took forever to come out and then the biscuits and gravy were cold. On top of that, we ordered avocado toast and it was burnt to a crisp with them attempting to hide the burnt toast by spreading the avocado more than necessary. It took nearly as long for them to bring out the redone plates and with no apologies. It was so disappointing. The redone plate was still burnt and the manager tried to make excuses for it!
