I have been a sucker for Gallaway's in Scarsdale/Eastchester

I wish they were open 6 days a week.

Says a lot about their popularity when they can survive while only being open 3 days a week!

That's an evil thought.

:rolleyes: There are so many ways. :rolleyes:

Christmas morning I drive over to the Waffle House. I know what to expect.
Many times I've realized a small restaurant would close long before the owners did. I just try to enjoy them while I can.:)

I stopped going to a restaurant in Lahaina, Maui when they discontinued their "signature" asparagus/taragon soup.

remained consistently good, the new owner has difficulty understanding
English. The last couple of times I ordered my order was wrong; today I
didn't even get that far. When I tried to order she kept repeating back to
me something else, so I pointed at pictures on the menu, still she repeated
back something else but closer to what I wanted at least. Every time I
corrected her and told her what I want, she wrote up the item and treated it
as another item I was ordering. When she got to three items ordered (I
wanted one), with none of them right, I cancelled my order and left the
restaurant. It looks like now my weekly take-out meal with either be
Quizno's or take-out.

As a side note I did notice that each time I have gone in, since the change
in ownership, the number of customers is less and less. Today was no
different.

What a shame. No doubt in 6 months they will try and figure out what went
wrong and might not clue in it is because the person taking the orders can't
speak English.

Have you asked to speak with a Manager explained to them your situation?
tell them what's been happening that nobody has gotten your order the correct way. can the Mgr speak english?
