So, I debated going back and forth leaving a review because as a business owner I understand how much they can affect business... but this mornings breakfast was absolutely baffling to me.
My boyfriend and I are huge breakfast republic fans, we travel from Arizona just for the vegan jammin Bennie plate.
When we arrived the waitress was stoic, and immediately the vibe of the restaurant was off. We were in a celebratory mood, and her attitude was a bit of a mood killer (whatever, we get it)
The issue here is that the food was disgusting. Full of mold. The jammin Bennie sauce tasted like CHLORINE. We've had this dish probably 50 times. The sauce was definitely spoiled... we said something, the waitress takes the plate back to the kitchen, then BACK to our table and says nothings wrong with it and asks if we still want it? After they took it to the kitchen? 1) either they tasted it and gave it back to us to tell us its fine which is gross,
2) they didnt check it at all? how would they know its fine? i cant believe she tried to give it back to us?
Then to tell us it was fine (with an attitude) um, ok. we order a different item - a breakfast burrito - the salsa tasted like straight alcohol. the whole middle of the burrito had mold. The waitress then tells us the vegan food does get ordered (we asked if maybe that was the issue and she disagreed) and the regional chef was in the kitchen and, even though the salsa was spoiled (she kinda agreed with us?) the food was fine.
she then with a short quick attitude proceeded to ask us if we wanted the item taken off, with the other one, like we were hecklers looking for free food? listen, we were like the second table of the morning so theres no need to be so upset and fight us over being wrong. it felt like she was shutting down everything we said, because she didn't want to be wrong? and we were the issue?
no, we paid the check and tipped $15 because we get it, but as a waitress don't gaslight your table when you serve expired moldy food?
spent about $65 to eat food that we we now are majorly sick from and a breakfast being gaslighted from the mean waitress. Definitely think the owner should look into his vegan supplies, because as vegans we know what expired just egg tastes like. and any moldy food - chlorine and bleach.
