On New Years day I stopped in for breakfast. I ordered waffles and bacon. When the waitress brought my order and placed it on the table, she asded if it was too dark. It was, in fact the waffle was burnt, and the bacon dark. I said yes it was too dark. Without saying a word, she returned it to the kitchen. About 3 to 5 minutes later, the waitress returned with the order and placed it on the tabel and walked away. The waffle again, appeared dark and when I turned it over, I found that it was burnt. It appeared to be the same waffle. I again told the waitress that it was too dark. She returned to the kitchen, at which time I heard the cook yelling. I motioned to another waitress to have the order canceled because I could hear the cook yelling. A few minutes later, my waitress walked by my table and said to me, "You can pay for your coffee at the register." She did not say she was sorry for the burnt food, have a good day, nothing. I paid for the coffee and left.
I will not return, nor recommend your restaurant to my many friend and family that visit.

Appreciate the head's up. Thanks for the post.

Yes I totally agree with the person who got the waffles, In the past I have to ask for silverware, refill on drinks, napkins, these people get into their little groups and gossip, I have seen this many times.

The restaurant should apply for federal money so they can continue this poor service indefinitely, sorta like Amtrak

Sorry, couldn't help myself

For a good meal you never need to venture further than Weaver's. Good food, fair prices. Someone mentioned elsewhere in the forums that their serving breakfast several mornings a week. We always stop in for lunch or supper. The waitresses are very friendly and the locals eat there!

When I travelled in the Northeast Corridor I used Amtrak quite a bit. I always found them to be professional, courteous and on time.

Not sure why Roy felt the need to drag politics into a discussuon about a restaurant. Maybe they didn't serve Tea. :)

Sometimes a joke is a joke, however poor. Sorry Frank Burns that you took it so seriously.

 
Jim on 4/29/2014 1:23:50 PM:
I've used Amtrak when I travelled and have never had any issues. What's with the poor service comment? Did you ever use Amtrak, Roy, or are you just spouting Tea bag rhetoric?

 
Mark on 4/29/2014 1:25:49 PM:
Roy, please take your politics elsewhere. This website is about the C&O Canal.

 
Patti on 4/29/2014 1:28:31 PM:
I agree. Roy, if you don't have anything positive to contribute to a discussion about the C&O Canal, then take it elsewhere.

Does"take your politics elsewhere" apply to Jim as well?

 
K E from Middletown, MD on 5/18/2014 6:29:24 PM:
I agree with the Weavers recommendation. The food and service are great.

As for Amtrak, no thanks. The bathrooms are filthier than your worst port a pot at the end if a fair day.

 
John from Owings on 5/21/2014 11:31:04 AM:
I too have been treated well on Amtrak, and Roy I agree sometimes a joke is a joke, the rest of you need to get a life and leave Roy alone he is entitled to same rights under the 1st Amendment as the PC police atleast for today

 
Roy from Middletown, OH on 5/24/2014 6:45:53 PM:
If one is narrow minded enough to limit the definition of service to how one is treated personally, then maybe my post was out of line. The employees aboard my train were great. However, I'm able to think beyond self and define service in a broader scope.
Thus, Amtrak unnecessarily limits choices to the customer, is federally funded (that makes the statement political? please don't show yourself so poor a thinker)and may therefore be considered in this instance to offer poor service. In private sector businesses similarly offering poor service may go out of business, bringing about my poor attempt at public humor in relating the one instance to the other.
I'll not choose to eat at Little Sandy's restaurant either BTW...pretty risky Frank. Hope you enjoy. And all related to the trail and one's ability to enjoy and how one may utilize the same, thus appropriate to the board.

John Owings and Roy from Middletown drop it. 1st Amendment? Come on, lighten up.

It's Summer and vacation Season. Keep the discussions about the Trail. Plenty to discuss.

"John Owings and Roy from Middletown drop it. 1st Amendment? Come on, lighten up."

What does the 1st amendment have to do with it. Roy exercised it and other disagreed with what he said. My take is that Roy hasn't said anything to indicate he actually knows anything about Amtrak, rather is only echoing what he has heard. If he would like to learn about Amtrak I suggest he go to
