Kenny Rogers Roasters

Two stars for food that still is tasty but… portions are a little out of whack when the half-​chicken plate and the quarter plate looks pretty much identical, save a ten-​dollar price difference. Can’t decide if they were stingy on the half, or generous in the quarter, or both.
Service could also use a little work — the one server told us we couldn’t sit on the right side of the restaurant because the section was closed. And also came over to take our other when my friend was tying her hair up… and then after we told her we might need a minute more, she said she would just stay there till we were ready. And she did.
Fast forward ten or so minutes, the aforementioned plates arrive, and I’m puzzled by those portion sizes. But we start eating anyway. Other patrons wrap up their meals and start to leave, leaving our part of three as the last people there. It’s just past 9pm now, and this server, in her hyper-​efficiency, starts stacking up the outdoor chairs, and drags them into the restaurant… and I’m sure a trolley could’ve have helped make her job easier — those chairs screeched and rattled as she struggled to get them in the door.
Any how, we start to get full, and as there’s still food left on our plates, we take a breather for a sip of iced tea… and the server comes by and clears my friend’s plate, with her unfinished meal still on it. I don’t think we reacted fast enough to stop it happening, and because we were almost done, I suppose we didn’t make a big deal of it. The server comes back, and now asks if we are done with our meal, but by this point, we weren’t going to hang around when the place is clearly ready to close for the night. I’ll say though that I felt a sense of injustice when she claimed our uneaten corn muffins — I’ve always liked them, so it feels like a waste to not get to finish those.
Perhaps it’s a lesson in choosing where to eat — make sure you don’t make people stay after they’re meant to; it sure feels like they get grumpy!
