  While the food is decent, the owner / manager gives the impression that customers are a nuisance and that everything is very irritating. There is a sign on the wall addressing their slow service, stating something like 'We won't compromise food quality for fast service'.  But I've waited what seems to be the same amount of time I've waited for food at establishments such as Chili's or Olive Garden for fried chicken and fries.
  As I posted at the beginning the food is decent, but unless you have blinders and earplugs in you will notice the "mood" of the manager which is very off-putting.

  After a year, I decided to try Randy's again thinking that maybe the new owners have worked out the kinks in their food preparation.  The restaurant is still nicely painted and decorated cheerfully (not much wear and tear in a year), and the TV was showing a canine obstacle course competition.  Since it was Father's Day, there were quite a few people there.  The median age was 75 years old.  The lights were off in one area of the restaurant, not in the romantic mood lighting sort of way though, but bulbs burned out.  
  
  We put in our order at the counter and noticed the broaster chicken was running low at 12:30 p.m.  The broaster chicken meals come with a biscuit and one side.  I chose the broaster potatoes, as I remembered a year ago the mashed potatoes and gravy were not to my liking.  The broaster chicken pieces are bigger and more normal to size than they were last year, served fresh from the fryer but a bit too salty for my taste, and I love salt.  The broaster potatos were actually quite good, and the biscuit was warmish.  It took at least 20 minutes to get our meal, as they had to fry up another batch in the middle of the lunch crowd.  My SO ordered a hamburger.  The fries were extra and so was the soft drink.  The hamburger was OK.  Total bill for 3 pieces of chicken (breast, wing & drumstick), a serving of broaster potato chunks, 1 biscuit, 1 hamburger, 1 serving of fries and a soft drink was a little under $13.00.  The strawberry shortcake sundae and chocolate dipped chocolate soft serve ice cream was a little under $6.00, but the vanilla ice cream was already pooling when I received it.  
  
  The owner/manager and cashier did come to our table to ask if we were happy with the food and service which was a nice touch.  This isn't going to be my go-to place for a quick meal, as it's not particularly quick and there are establishments that make better fried chicken and hamburger, but I can see stopping here every once and awhile to support a local business.
