Also, as a sidenote for visitors–tips are accepted but not required as they pay their employees a fair wage and include benefits. See the last picture for more info.
Also, when I’m dining at a restaurant with my family I don’t want to be bombarded with political agendas or sexual ideology especially when I have my 5.5 year old with me.
My wife enjoyed her rotisserie chicken sandwich. My son’s yellow rice was good as well. My biggest complaint was that I had a few tiny strands of pulled pork and of course this crap displayed at my table….
Both my wife and I got the 2 pc chicken which is marinated for 24 hours. Two pieces had some flavor the other two were tasteless, hard to believe they were marinated for 24 hours. Some observations:
1. Two pieces of chicken in most restaurants usually means either a breast with a wing or thigh and leg. My two pieces were 1/4 of a breast with a leg and my wife got 1/3 a breast and a very small thigh. The white meat was overcooked to desert dry while the dark meat was just overcooked.
2. The coleslaw comes in a small cup, maybe 3 forkfuls. The creamy spinach side, was a decent size bowl of spinach in what tasted like cream soup from a can that had been water down. Runny and wet, not creamy and smooth.
3. Service was bad. The waiter took our order and brought our food and then the check. No checking in on how things were going. I flagged down another waiter for water refills. Our waiter looked like he was playing on his phone. When I asked about portion sizes when he brought the bill, he just shook his head and said nothing. This restaurant could easily be counter service, not surewhat class of restaurant they are trying to be, full service, fast casual or inventing something new.
4. When back at our hotel, I read information about this local chain and found out tips are included in the price of the food and they pay fair wages to their employees plus benefits. The tips are not expected and built into the price and this is mentioned in small print on the lower right corner of the menu. I applaud this company for the way they treat their employees and I would have this is large print somewhere more prominent on the menu and maybe put some asterisks on the prices to let customers know. Initially, when I left, and thought about what paid with tip, I felt like this was way too expensive for what you get. Understanding the price philosophy (and not tipping) would have made it better in relationship to value, but still on the high side.
I was visiting from out of town and while St Paul is a great town, we will probably never be back, but I wanted potential customers to know our experience.
