Pros

The pros; free french fries if you eat them while the right manager is working.

Cons

Customers will treat you like garbage because their cheap steak doesn’t taste like it came out of a steak house, management will comp their food to make them happy meanwhile no tip for the server. Happens all the time. No independence; need a manager swipe for moving items around on a check, doing a complete, using a discount, etc. have to wait around after shift so they can count your tips and give it back to you the next day; stapled for some reason. kind of a hassle. This place is a lot of drama and you won’t make much money unless your me bartending or serving and you better be super qualified to do so because favoritism is real.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
