Groveside Bistro

We came in here for brunch one day and had one of the weirdest experiences we’ve ever encountered. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by the owner complaining about how short staffed they currently are and that we just need to be patient with them today. This was just interesting as we hadn’t even been seated yet. We were able to order our food quickly as there was only 1 other table seated at the time. The food took a bit to come out but we weren’t in any rush so that was okay. However, when the food did arrive, only one of us received our meal, while the other 3 hadn’t even received their drinks yet. As they were about to take a bite, the owner comes up behind and shouts, “That’s not yours. We would never serve only one customer at a time”. She then headed to the back and yelled at the server, a conversation easily heard through the restaurant. Finally when the other 3 meals did come out, we asked if the drinks would be coming out shortly and we were told by the owner that

My family treated me for Father's Day and what a treat it was. Roadside Bistro was a first time for me but not the last. They had a special menu for fathers day with plenty of good choices. I got the spicy sausages with beans plate and loved it. The service was extraordinary and the Chef Judy came out to our table to greet us. Do you know when you feel like a million dollars? This was one of those times. Unforgettable experience with the assurance that they just earned a life time customer not just me but my family as well. Thank you to the crew and Chef Judy for your kindness and amazing food. We will see you soon. ????

A parody of a Kitchen Nightmares episode. Chef/owner is certifiably insane. Incredibly rude to customers and abusive to the staff in front of the whole restaurant. $50 dollar prix fixe brunch is laughably expensive considering what you get: shot glass of parfait, some beignets, and a modest entree. Avocado toast felt like satire. The “mini” croissant sandwich was so small the server warned us about it (clearly people had complained) but it was just big enough to fit the slice of ham that tasted and looked like it came from the lunchables I send my kid to school with (see attached photo). If you want dinner and a show… go for it. Otherwise run in the other direction and maybe say a prayer for the poor staff and the owner who is clearly going through some kind of mental health crisis.
