Round The Clock

The restaurant is clean, with fast friendly service.  The food for lunch and dinner is quite good.  I find the breakfast tasteless, and the biscuit gravy watery.  The prices are competitive.

I try to be objective about these things but sometimes the facts are so blatant that the comments seem one sided.  Such is the case here.  I hadn't visited Round The Clock in several years.  It was a very cold, snowy, blustery evening and we were looking forward to a wholesome  "comfort food" style meal.  We were seated promptly and our waitress was polite and attentive.  We placed our order and had specifically asked for certain side dishes only to be informed that those sides were not available to us.  For us it wasn't a matter of cost or substitution, it was just what we wanted.  I was ready to just leave at that point but my girlfriend with her insightful wisdom convinced me to stay and give it a try.   Generally I have to say that the entree was acceptable, but not remarkable.  The desert was supposed to be a fluffed creme Neapolitan and was so hard (not frozen just stale)  that I actually bent my fork trying to eat it.  I demonstrated this for my waitress who promptly took it away and took the item off our bill.

The big issue was the indifference of the manager who avoided our table completely.  He spent a good portion of our meal sitting across from us boasting to some others in a different booth about some ring purchase he had made and how much he had spent..  It didn't add to the already dull ambiance.

When we were getting ready to leave and pay our bill, no mention of our dining issues was made,  no apology,  just a good ole boy chuckle as he robbed our money from us.

Dine here at your own risk!

The place is always really dirty, the food is mediocre and I usually end up on a date with the Porcelain King 30 minutes after leaving. I don't need to pay to hang out in my bathroom. No. Thank. You.
