Office Meeting: A cup of very bad coffee and three (over the course of the morning) sugar coated donuts (my boss advertised them as "dognuts")
Lunch: Chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes with white gravy, corn and a couple of Diet Pepsis at Casey's Cowtown...
Dinner: We went to Casey's Cowtown for dinner; we had decided not to go to Montana Mike's or Arby's. I'm thinking this was a mistake! The food was good but the kitchen service sucked!
______We were seated with no problem. The waitress seemed very young and very new to waiting and didn't seem to know what she was doing. Kathie asked for a wine list and the waitress trundled off to get it. I looked towards where she'd gone and looked at Kathie and said in a wry voice "I guess I'll ask for water when she returns."
______The girl got back and gave Kathie the wine list; Kathie had changed her mind and asked for a "frozen Margarietta". The girl nodded and left. We began waiting...
______After about five (5!) minutes, Kathie flagged down a different waitress and asked about her frozen Margarietta. This woman (yes, a competient woman!) brought the frozen Margarietta back in under two minutes.
______Our waitress returned and asked what I wanted. I asked for ice water with leomn juice and she said she could bring ice water with a couple of chunkds of lemon. It was only a couple of minutes before she brought our water.
______We ordered dinner: Kathie wanted a nice samwhich and I ordered Motorella sticks as an appetizer. Then, I ordered the Filet Mineon{sp} medium with French dressing. She grabbed the menu to look this up.
______I opened the menu and after a few seconds, pointed to the description of what I wanted. She then asked who I wanted my steak; I said "medium". She asked what kind of potatoe I wanted; I said "baked with everything on it". Finally, she asked the kind of salad dressing I wanted; I said "French".
______The cheese sticks came and were find; Kathie had ordered Ranch dressing.
______Then, "our girl" showed up with both main courses. I looked at her and made an exageriated shrugging motion. She looked beyond confused, she looked lost. She couldn't figure out what my problem was!
______I said "the salad is supposed to come first".
______She brought the salad. I said "I asked for baked potatoe with everything on it." She pointed at my potatoe and said "but you've got butter on it!" I replied "I put the butter from the roll on the potatoe. I'd like some butter and sour cream, please."
______She brought both.
______The meal was fine. The waitress told us she simply brought out what the kitchen put up. So, I told her a couple of times that I didn't hold it against her; the kitchen had screwed up!"
______We gave the girl a nice tip; she had tried and shouldn't be punished for the kitchen staff fucking up!
______I would have told all this to Mike Casey but althought he was there and escorted some folks to a table, he didn't come around. Mike's restraunt has nice food but they have a continual problem with service.
______Like most places in dear ol' Dodge, the quality of the waitress/waiters simply isn't what it should be! To be blunt, it is often medictre and is unfortunately often piss poor at Mike Casey's Cowtown! There is a reason where seldom go to Mike's for a nice dinner date and the service is exactly that!
______Yes, I said "date". I learned a couple of decades that taking me wife out on dates was even more important after we married than before!
