What started as a relatively good breakfast and restaurant turned out to be an epic fail! My family and I stopped in what we originally thought was “Silver Diner” to get breakfast on our way back to the DC Area. Not paying attention to either...the signage or even the menu, (our fault) we were actually at Capitol Diner. Our waitress was a really nice lady (didn’t get her name). We ordered our meals, French Toast, fried potatoes w/cheese and onions added in and a omelette. Because we were pressed for time, we had to get to-go boxes and take some of our food with us. After the two hour ride back, and resting up for a bit, I decided to warm our leftovers up to eat. I ate majority of my potatoes, get to the end and discovered one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my food— a dead fly!🤮
I called back to the restaurant and requested to speak to the manager, and the young man who answered asks me “What’s my name and what are you calling for?!” I then told him that I was calling to speak to the manager, he again asked “what am I calling for?” I told him to speak to a manager! The manager gets on the phone I proceeded to tell him that I’d left the restaurant around 730 this morning and took some of my breakfast with me, get home to eat it and discovered there’s a dead fly in my food. I also understood that since I was no longer in the immediate area, I still wanted to bring this to his attention, and more importantly to have his kitchen staff to be more cognizant of insects that are flying around in the kitchen, let alone added to the food!
He was semi-apologetic, said that he’d talk with both the waitstaff and kitchen staff. He didn’t offer to refund the money! I can’t say that I’ll ever eat here again on any return visit to that area.
When you eat here, look in your food and under it! You never know what may be added in!More
