I had lunch at The Blue Plate two days ago. The food was delicious and inexpensive. My server, Stephanie, was awesome! She was super nice, patient and knowledgeable! Although being extremely busy (it was a full house!), after learning that I am vegetarian, she took her time to explain some of the seemingly veggie dishes actually contained traces of beef or chicken stock. She also patiently answered my numerous questions.
Visited after church so they were pretty busy so we expected that. Our order was taken within 15 minutes of sitting but our server didn't come check on us after the kitchen brought our food out until we called the manager over. My daughter didn't like the fried chicken breast & wanted to change it.
Every time I order from the drive-through, they have to hand me the plate in a slanted position I guess because the point is to let all the vegetable juice leak into the bottom of the bag and just make a complete mess. Every patron in your restaurant is paying for small portions (notice the little anorexic chicken finger photo) it way higher prices. So nobody’s getting our moneys worth we’re basically giving to charity. So a little attention to customer service would greatly be appreciated
We went during lunch time. We didn’t mind the long wait. Food had good flavor but wasn’t hot. It was room temp. Not sure why they brought out our food the same time as another table…. The other table happened to order the same dish as me…..Hopefully they got it hot. Especially since we ordered a bit before them. Also, don’t order the water it tastes terribly like tap water. The flavor alone isn’t enough to bring me back.
This is our second time here ordering our favorites and I must say, the food is well seasoned and really good! Also the wait time isn’t long at all! However, the atmosphere is not my personal favorite only because it mostly just seems packed and kinda like eating at a nursing home, that isn’t their fault tho. I would definitely order to-go instead of dine in, good experience both times!
