C J Muggs Restaurant

We had a catered in house event at this CJ Muggs location. Upon arrival and during the event the prices WERE NOT what we were quoted. We had the same issue a few years ago when we had an catered event there. Then the staff claimed they had "NO IDEA" about any quoted prices from the owner. We thought as a returning customer we would be cut a decent deal. We actually paid MORE then we would of had we walked in off the street that day with our group.  Then upon leaving the manager over the "servers" had the nerve to chase us down down the street and demand we leave a bigger tip. (JERRY). This guy (JERRY) had NOTHING to do with our party and this might of been the RUDEST experience a restaurant employee has ever done to someone. He literally came up to my trunk as I was loading my children into the car and DEMANDED that we tip more. (His comments "We ask for at least a 25 % tip with a group of 15 or more"). Mind you we left a tip, and the last time I checked any amount of a tip is optional. (NO we did SKIMP on the tip)
DON'T GO HERE, dont help out the owner SAM who stays out of anything either make ANY MORE MONEY!

I cannot believe this person came out AFTER we had paid and left a tip and demanded MORE! Get a life JERRY!

Another ho-hum dinner, a stone's throw from superior competitors.  Regarding the cleanliness, I will let the St. Louis County Department of Health Inspection do the talking for me:

Free food happy hours are the only reason I go to either Clayton or Webster Groves.

Service is usually friendly, but expect to wait to order drinks.  

Food is nothing more than greasy bar food, despite claims it is any fancier than bar food.  

If you want to have cheap happy hour with a couple old friends, this is the place.  For dates or nice nights out, go elsewhere.
