Food:

I decided to stop by the Houghton location to pick up one of their yummy lavash crackers for the wife and I as we've been getting take out much more often now that we have a baby. So I stop in, sit at the bar, and wait patiently for someone to acknowledge me about 5 minutes later. I proceeded to order exactly what I came in for. Twenty five minutes later, I watch the male bartender walk to the kitchen to track down my order. (After repeatedly touching money, dirty dishes/glasses, and wiping his face?) I then watch him find the order after talking with a couple cooks, cut the order, and package it. WHY is the bartender handling my food. Then he brings the lavash cracker to me and I question why it was cold. He proceeded to tell me that it was not cold as it just came out of the oven and offered to put it back in the oven. Again, WHY is a bartender handling my food. In addition, I've worked at several pizza restaurants while in college and know what a cold or hot dish feels like. I then get home to find that this usually tasty and cheesy treat has about a fourth of the amount of cheese on it that it usually does. I could bring myself to consume this dish and tossed it. All being said, I will not return to the Houghton Rd location as the mere thought grosses me out. It looks like we'll stick to the Grant Rd location when we're in the the area. (With the lack of knowledge and expectations, I'd bet this bartender never even ate at Buddy's prior to applying for the job.)
