Das Waldcafe

Food:[8] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Food was pretty good.
• The head waitress, probably an owner, was a total snot.

“We went there for my brother's birthday. We called ahead and asked if they had a cake that we could order to serve at the end. We made sure that they knew this was for a birthday. They didn't have a cake, so we brought one. The food was pretty good, service was acceptable, but at the end, when we brought out the cake, the waitresses disappeared completely. I seeked the eldest one out asking if we could get a knife to cut it with, and I was read the riot act about how we didn't buy the cake from them. Well, we didn't have to buy the food from them either! Not a good place for family occasions such as birthdays.”

• Cheap.
• Cockroaches coming out of the bread basket.

“The rave reviews on other sites, and the letters of endorsement in the lobby cannot change the cockroaches that were crawling out of the bread basket and on the wall next to my table. I had already ordered the Delmonico steak - cooked right, but a very cheap, tasteless piece of meat, when I saw the first of 4 roaches on my table. I got my check without finishing the meal. The woman at the desk never asked me how I liked the meal, maybe she knows something. Do not go there.”

• My waitress.
• The host desk needs to know more than empty tables, wait staff avail.

“Love the Chicken pot pie and cheese fries. Went last weekend early before the evening crowd. Remembered why I hadn't been there in a long time, not the line, the hostess desk doesn't know which sections are open. After being seated quickly, I waited with no acknowledgement from the wait staff. Got the attention of someone who became my waitress and handled the situation with kindness and professionalism, as well as the manager. He apologized and paid for my appetizer. Have had that experience several time in the past and wait staff can be extremely slow except my waitress last Saturday.”

• Food tasted good.
• Everything else!

“My family and I went to eat at Cheddar's over the weekend, we waited 20 minutes to be seated (they were busy), another 15 for the waiter to say he would be with us shortly, another 20 after that to have our drink orders taken. You get the pattern here. The service was awful, talked to a manager that just said sorry. If you want someplace good to eat try Red Robin but not Cheddar's!”
