From bad to worse !!!

by cinziacarina

Should have turned back when we saw the tacky handwritten notebook paper sign posting the real Sat. opening time of 9:30 to the side of the painted sign saying "open 7:30-..." A coffee shop on a main street that opens at 9:30 on a Saturday??? Hmmm... We were the first customers of the day and this is how it went: too much food on the first table so we moved to another where I only had to wipe the sticky film from the table; waitress had a strange zombie-like demeanor; once she brought our coffee (with lipstick on rim) we literally didn't see her or any other employee for like 15 minutes - finally came and told us our order was next, and took my dirty cup of now cold coffee, 10 minutes later still no food, we're ready to just pay for the coffee and go, I get up to call her we make eye contact and she walks away! Meanwhile we've noticed 3 other people leave without service (we saw them later at J. Christopher's down the street) finally the food comes - it's dry, burnt, and missing key ingredients; called mgr. who turned out to be a long-ago waitress from the Northlake location that I still use as an example of a terrible waitress, she tried to explain to us why this 30 minute wait was normal/reasonable, offered to make us another omelette (the first one was an insult!), and blamed it on the waitress. I pointed out that 30 minutes to fill the b'fast order of the first customers of the day in an empty restaurant didn't make sense, food was poorly prepared, and that I hoped she wasn't going to argue about it with us. She finally agreed to comp the meal as she walked away mumbling about us under her breath. Crazy bad service and bad food. Used to just be marginally bad service and so-so food, but good location. I told my family to please remind me not to go back there again no matter how convenient. Shame, shame, Crescent Moon! If they had come over , explained there was only one cook, and thanked us for our patience they might have salvaged some big tippers like us.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: No music, sticky tables, bad attitudes, bad under pressure

DO NOT EAT HERE!

by sdecatur33

Again, Do not eat here. The place was recently sold and the new ownership is trying it's hardest to run people away. I ate here 2 days ago and they were out of half the menu and I wish they were out of what I ordered. I had the pimento cheese hamburger which sounds too hard to mess up. NOT THE CASE. The burger was a premade piece of something with chewy rubbery things inside. The pimento cheese was watery, almost like they did add water. The waitress said they had a new cook. Yea right! They are passing the time and trying to recoup some income before they close for good I understand and I was dumb enough to try and help them. RUN, RUN for your life as far away as you can from this place. I'm not kidding!

• Pros: The lights were on...oh and the Diet Coke was drinkable
• Cons: Everything else

family restaurant

by decaturmom2

I ate at the Decatur location last night and I had the worst dining experience in recent memory. The waiter was slammed and inexperienced, yet other servers wandered around like they had little to do. We had to ask for lemon for my Mom's tea 4 times before it came. We had to ask for kid menus twice before they came. The table was dirty. The booth was dirty. There was splattered food all around us, even on the lamp. There were flies all over the restaurant. The food was terrible. I had the veggie plate. My plate was dirty. The beans had brown spots all over them and there were bean ends on the plate, the pieces you trim off BEFORE cooking, that had been cooked along with the main part of the bean. The squash casserole looked like it had been sitting in the bowl under a heat lamp all day. I did not even eat it and asked my waiter to take it off the bill. The biscuit was so dry and crumbly looking I did not eat it. The fried green tomatoes were completely greasy and gross. My waiter kept forgetting to bring me another Coke. My Mom's soup was watery and just bad. And the kid menu item of hamburger and fries that comes with 4 hamburgers for a 6 year old child was completely insane. They did not even taste good.

I will never eat at this Crescent Moon again. My stomach turns just from thinking about it. This saddens me because I live in Decatur and we need reasonably priced restaurants like this that familes feel comfortable going to. In this economy, if this is what I am going to get, I will just go to McDonald's next time.
