Leghorns is pretty much a copy of Roosters and almost a copy of Hooters. I have to say they did an excellent job with the remodel. The atmosphere is fun and energetic.
Upon walking in the door about 5 different people greeted us. Might be a little overkill there. We went about 2 pm so the restaurant was not busy.
I got the rueban sandwich (of course cus you know I am on a quest) and my friend got the grande nachos.
The rueban as usual was nothing to write home about and for the high prices it should have been. How these places think they can charge 8.00 or so for an average sandwich is beyond me. Fries were very good. Ice tea like most area restaurants sucked.
The nachos are very good and a generous portion. Oddly they do not come with sour cream. We asked twice for sour cream but got a side of salsa instead. Our waitress just seemed very distracted (even though we were practically the only table) Never got drink refills until we were done eating.
And my ultimate pet peeve is we had to ask twice for the check. Again customers should never have to beg to pay. Its wrong on so many levels. This has to be my ultimate pet peeve. If a restaurant is extremely busy I can be a little patient, but if its slow I have none. Nada. Zilch. Put the damn check on the table! Don't make me beg you for it.
A waitress should recognize that the bill is their last interaction with a customer. If a customer has to beg and still has to wait to get the bill, its going to be reflected in the tip.
Why restaurants do not properly train wait staff I have no idea. Its not that hard. Many years ago I was the trainer and dining room manager for Shoneys. There is a method to training wait staff. If you do it right, they will increase their tips and your restaurant will get people coming back. Take the time to train your employees!
If the owner reads this I am offering to come down for a day and train your staff for you for a consultant fee. :)
Its really not enough to just hire pretty young girls. They do need to know how to be a waitress.
