"Went in with my daughter and granddaughter for a late lunch. The server got us an appetizer and drinks and then apologized that they were short-handed. The manager was cooking. We started to give him our order, and he excused himself to grab another customer's meal that had come up. When he returned, he started to take our order and then said he was sorry, but it was now 2 minutes past 3 so he would need to collect our menus and bring us dinner menus. I asked since our ticket was opened at 2:15 that we get the lunch, but he said the system was based on the clock when the items were ordered. I had something similar happen in the past, and the server either removed our drinks to lower our ticket or comped an item but that didn't happen. We were set covid aware, so there were only 2 tables in our area that were active. We got our salads, and the server brought out 2 baskets of biscuits to our neighboring table. When we asked for biscuits, he said the kitchen was way behind and it could be 15 to 20 minutes for fresh ones. We worked on our salads and before they were half gone the server arrived with our meal and biscuits. Our meals were good and tasted good. Since they were dinner-sized, we asked for to-go boxes. When the server returned he brought 2 boxes. We had 3 meals. Anyway, he was gone for about 10 minutes. When he returned he got the third to-go box and apologized that the other area in the restaurant had a server not show so he was handling them. We paid and as we have family that are servers we tipped well, but were a bit unhappy with how things went."
