I'm sorry...WHAT!!??? I quite literally heard something snap...in my head. I....went...off....in the nicest way possible. As I recognized that this was not a, front of the house, issue. I requested to speak with Jim...4 times....as he, was unable to face me, unable to look at me, unable to communicate from behind the safety of his kitchen doors. Even the employees and customers sitting around us, were floored when they heard what the waitress was instructed to tell me.
The first one...came out..and resembled a medium size brick. I could barely cut into it and when I finally did, I almost choked on it because it was so dry. I sent that back.
It was a nice place to stop and eat, then sit as long as you want talking to your family or friends. Food is decent. Don't recommend the buffalo chicken wrap. Not too good.
We don't go out to eat as much as we used too anymore. With that said, after 3, back to back Dr's appointments and driving through a snowy Hell....I was thrilled when my husband said he was taking us to dinner.
We've tried many different items on the menu, including their prime rib special...(which we took a chance and tried before, and actually enjoyed). UNTIL TONIGHT.
I informed the employees to tell him, he is unprofessional, disrespectful, deplorable, and should not be in the food service business. And that...if he cannot back...every single item on his menu, he should remove those items. Or at the very least...don't put them out as a special and write..."crappy prime rib"...so that at the very least, people will know what to expect from their food.
So tonight..it was a queen cut prime rib, desired temp...mid rare to rare.
This is where...it all goes south...as if the first part of my blog isn't bad enough.
I instructed the server to remove the second one, that my appetite was gone and my stomach is actually hurting.
We have been regular customers of the Mount Joy Diner for many years. We've grown to know several of the employees, and enjoy the small town feel of it.
My husband's New York strip....which was an advertised special...came out, just under well done....so his went back as well.
Let me say this first. The waitress, 2 hostesses and bus boy...we're all very kind and understanding. And I was being forgiving, saying maybe they got some bad cuts of meat---trying to be kind.
This is my favorite 24 hour family style diner in central PA. The staff are friendly, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is familiar. They have plenty of parking and the coffee is always hot and fresh. My family frequents this restaurant for weekend breakfast.
It came out. I cut a bite. I put it in the Au Ju. My stomach....went sour. It completely turned my stomach....as this, was not the salty, beef flavored, liquid loveliness....IT WAS VINEGAR!!!!...mixed with what I can only assume at this point....was dishwater. I could have cried at this point. If you are diabetic then you understand how quickly you go from feeling ok, to feeling like your on your deathbed. I had JJ...and Izabella..try the liquid I was served, to see if maybe my tastebuds were off. Nope...Izabellas expression was that, of an oral assault...and JJ looked like he was going to spit it out immediately.
The reason they secive real good food it's full you up good food. They are very very respectful to customers they are good. They have some pretty lady in there that don't see color in people. As long that will have me I will always eat there. MMM good food. I'm a southern man from south Carolina ok have a blessed night and a blessed day tomorrow for all the lady and the owner are good to me
HONESTLY...I've been living in Mt. Joy for like 5 years now & Mojo has always been one of my favorite places until recently. The only reason I give 2 stars is for the food being consistent. In all honesty if it weren't for the food I'd give it 1 star & probably never go back. I could NOT enjoy my food at all because the lady whom I'm assuming to be the manager? Spent the whole time bitching up a storm! About this waitress, that waitress, this person, that food. We went at about 3, when it was dead, minus me & my friends & it was just absolutely unprofessional. I know for a fact they have trouble keeping servers & I damn sure know why now. Will NOT be going back.
Let me start by saying....I am a steak snob. After living in both, Omaha Nebraska and Texas...I can tell the cut of a steak...just by taste, texture and appearance. I've called restaurants out...when they've attempted to serve..sirloin as tenderloin....flank and skirt as a new York strip...and so on.
The second prime rib I received, looked a little closer to mid rare...however..upon trying it...it was again..so dry..it was completely unpalatable. I was really hungry...after 3 appointments and at this point almost 7pm...being diabetic...my sugar was low, as i hasn't eaten since 8 am. So in an attempt to just eat this "shoe"....I requested Au Ju.
They went to the back to speak to the owner..JIM. Jim...instructed the server, to tell me this..."this is a diner, if you want good prime rib. Go find a steakhouse"
