Don't Waste Your Time

To start with it is in one of the worst locations in the city with it being directly across from a ghetto corner store that sells penny candy, bug juice, and whatever quantity of weed you want. On my first experience I sat on the "patio" to watch 5+ hand to hand drug deals go on, with one being sloppy enough to drop the product. I was there with my roommate and we were enjoying the nice evening and talking with another local couple. We were then approached by a group of 3 "prostitots" (14 year girls dressed to hit the strip club), the situation quickly escalated when they tried to sit at our table and began getting into our personal space. By this time we had joined the couple at one table, and it came close to the 3 girls attacking the female that was at our table. The manager finally came out and did nothing to calm the situation and began to side with the kids and not the 4 people who had just ate and drank a combined $150 worth of product. It was a total spectacle, and I brought it to the attention of the owner. He assured me that they were aware of the situation across the street and there is nothing they can do about it.



I then gave them another shot thinking that I was in the mood for a deep dish Chicago style pizza. I ordered it along with a piece of pineapple upside down cake (their one and only dessert choice)and was advised it would take 45 mins. When I got there they were just taking it out of the oven, and it was placed in the box and taped shut. After one stop, I made it home to find a charbroiled mess, and called to speak to the manager. He apologized and I explained to him that this was the only meal that I was going to be having that day, but since the kitchen was closed there was nothing they could do.



I gave it another few days and decided to go again. I called and spoke to the same manager (Matt), and said hey can you throw a piece of cake in for my trouble, with which he obliged. When I arrived, 45 mins later, I took the pizza and was charged for the cake. For sake of not caring and it being Fri with me just wanting to get home I paid it. When I arrived at home I found that the pizza was then completely uncooked and the dough was just that, dough. I asked for my money back, which then resulted in a heated argument with the manager, and was then laughed at by an out of shape, overage bartender who thought this all was funny. Bottom line, the owner got lottery money and is a complete idiot when it comes to running any of the businesses he gets his hands on. Save your $$ and check out Benton Park Cafe which is close by.
