Mrs. P and Me

Awful! I have lived in Mount Prospect for 10 years and been to Mrs P and Me several times and this was by far the worst. The food was terrible. The service was worse than terrible and management is  uninterested. I will never go back again.

Hmmm.. where do I begin.

We live in the neighborhood and  have been to Mrs P and Me several times. Always found the food to be "average" and the service "OK". But after last night's experience, we won't be back.

Let's start with the soup... My husband, kids and I ordered the cheddar broccoli soup. It was pure white, pasty and barely warm. The texture was that of Elmer's paste -- no exaggeration. It was inedible and sat untouched.

Our meals came out next. My 7-year-old son ordered the kids' cheeseburger. Not until he was almost finished did we notice that the inside was red and raw. Definitely not safe for a child to consume. We had asked for it to be cooked well done when ordering (yes, as his parents it was our job to check for doneness and we feel awful for not doing so). Their kitchen should know about food safety -- especially for items on the kids' menu. We brought this to the attention of the "manager" who had a smirk on his face and an "I could care less" attitude.

My husband and I ordered the chicken salad on avocado. The chicken salad was totally bland and the avocado was stringy and woody (not ripe/inedible).

My daughter ordered the kids spaghetti which came with sauce resembling 100% tomato paste.

To add to our dissapointment, the waitress was never around. It took over 20 minutes for us to get our check after talking the manager.

Lastly, the bathroom not clean and the hallway leading to the patio smelled like disinfectant and urine.

We won't EVER be back.

I was here tonight with a few girls from a meet up group.  We just so happened to walk by after the fest and wanted to try it based on the cute look and feel of the place.  I have to say we were all pleasantly surprised b/c we didn't know what to expect.  The waitress was really nice and helpful.  A friend and I tried the reuban and wow it was great.  I had mine with coleslaw instead of the Sauerkraut that it comes with.  Extremely fresh and delish corned beef.  Portion sizes were great as well.  Definitely liked the atmosphere and can see us going back for the food.
