"The experience was terrible. We have never had these issues when dining here in the past. It first took a very long time to put in our drink order. We then had completely eaten our appetizers before we were ever asked to place our entree order (it was extremely out of character and caused the food take a very long time to then arrive . Additionally we ordered 2 steak and frites entrees and I ordered a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo. Eventually our dinner was “served”. My wife received a steak and frites meal, but I was being served an entirely different steak dinner (chargrilled steak . After pointing out I was given the wrong meal, the waitress took it back but brought it right back to me, explaining they had a mix up and gave my steak and frites to someone else….. I was then asked can’t you just eat this one and I will give you French fries (this is a totally different steak, totally different sauce, totally different meal… . Seriously that is the way you remedy this issue? In my experience the correct meal is served even if a screw up is made or a refund is made! This was ridiculous in order to not cause a scene I had to eat a steak dinner that was not what I ordered, and was the worst steak I have ever eaten! I only could eat half of it. Just wait there’s more!!!! I also never got my gumbo, until the very end of my meal. Waitress acted like giving me it for free was making up for the terrible service… like really a $9 cup of gumbo makes up for the totally screwed up dinner? I have never experienced this bad of service here or anywhere else for that matter. I cannot believe a manager was not sent to our table after the first mistake of serving me the entirely wrong steak entree, but after my gumbo never came out you would expect management to come speak and make up for the terrible experience. After tonight it will be very difficult to ever want to eat at Palmettos again."
