Absolutely disgraceful service. The hostess, Jazahara, stood at the hostess stand, soda straw in mouth, sanitizing her hands, and chatting with her trainee while blatantly ignoring us--the only guests waiting. When I finally asked if we were in the right place, she intentionally continued to ignore us.
I asked for a manager, and out came Alex in his turquoise TR shirt, claiming to be the manager. Instead of correcting the behavior, he stood by while she rolled her eyes, pulled faces, and kept right on with her soda. My elderly mother-in-law even pointed out her rude expressions, and Alex dismissed it all with, "she's a minor." - Excuse me? That's not an excuse for open disrespect in front of paying customers.
It's clear why this staff member has no manners-- and then "training" a new staff member all the while! Alex sets the tone by tolerating and mimicking it. With no attempt to change the experience, he double downed snarkily and asked if we still wanted to eat there, the answer was obvious: nope. We left and enjoyed a great meal with great service at Aubrey's down the road instead.
Texas Roadhouse in Powell desperately needs to clean house. A hostess with a ghetto attitude and a manager with no leadership skills--what a combination.
