I ate the same items from another location on 3/1/2020 and had more severe versions of these symptoms, plus vomiting, in the middle of... See More the night. I’ve been eating there for 19 years and trust them. Given this recent frequency from different locations, I’m guessing the problem is coming from a supplier.

“Ragu spaghetti sauce We cooked spaghetti with Ragu marinara sauce & kielbalsa sausage. The sauce tasted a little different....tangy. I did not finish my plate but my husband and son did.

“March 3rd 2020 I call in a order to pick up curbside. I ordered the Louisiana pasta and chicken and biscuits and the pork chops for my family. The time was around 6:30 p.m. I went straight home and was eating before 7 p.m.
Within hours myself my wife and... See More my daughter became severely ill, and ended up in the hospital early the next day. Vomiting diarrhea body aches fever, the medical staff diagnosed us with food poisoning. And because it was the only thing I had eaten that day I believed it be true. We were admitted into hospital giving IVs and medication I've been released 24 hours later. I personally called the store manager explain to him what happened and he apologized and said he would check into it to see if there were any other reported cases that night. He did return my call only to inform me that he hadn't heard of anything else happening. He also informed me that he would contact the regional manager and explain what happened to my family. I waited on the regional manager to contact me but it never happened. So I ended up calling the regional manager myself and he offered an additional apology. My wife and I had to miss 2 consecutive days without pay and my daughter 2 days out of school. My attorney has advised me to go on several of the major news that works to explain my experience. But I'm just glad that we are feeling better. ”

“We went to dinner last night. I noticed many foods had been out for some time. As more people showed new foods brought out but they put fresh on top of old. I brought to owners attention and she yelled at me calling me a liar. I showed her how... See More old the chicken and shrimp was. Shrimp so hard it almost broke my daughters tooth. She still continues to yell at me saying all the food is new as I replied yes that you put over old food. I refused to pay for my meal as I was unable to eat. I paid for the others cause they had ate a few items from buffet. They didnt feel well once we got home but this morning 3-3-2020 everyone has severe diarrhea and nausea. Its important that these leople are held accountable for their actions. People are going to be ill if this continues to happen. Very disappointed in this place. I was disrespected by being called a liar after seeing the cook do it then to have my children and husband bexome ill. ”
