When asked for manager, waitress did not get manager. Went to back and put food in to go containers. When I found manager at register she
She did not show any concern about bad taste of burger and very salty ham & cheese sandwich. They actually put bad food in to go container and demanded full payment for horrible food. Told them to throw away food. I Paid 20.00 bill. Manager claimed got food from local meat market. All food was good and we were wrong. Son threw up when we got home. Will never return.
