I have not been to Spudder's in a very long time, and maybe this is part of the reason.
Saturday night we decided to meet another couple there with their kids. The food was good and plentiful, but the down side to the experience was the service. At first Ashley was great, but then we waited and waited for our meal. In a party of 7 I understand a little bit of a wait, but 30 minutes from the time we ordered at 7PM. Then the real problem, our steaks came, and one was missing. Ashley, the waitress, told us she missed putting in the order correctly. She put in all the filet's and the kids meal, but missed the rib-eye know as the Gusher. She said it would be 5-6 minutes. So one person at the table sat while everyone else ate their steaks.
On a side note, we ordered 5 filets, 4 of them 6 oz. one 9 oz. some medium rare, some medium, one medium well. I could not see a difference in the size of my 9 oz compared to the 6 oz, and none of the steaks had any way to identify how each was cooked. No little stake in the steak with the cooked method written on it. Some of us received what we believe after eating several bites another person's steak. Medium well went to a medium rare person, etc. etc. I am not even sure I received a 9 oz steak. But I was charged $39.99 for the 9 oz.
In the end the Gusher $39.99 came out as everyone else was wrapping up their steak. Ashley did not say anything else about her mistake no apology or offer to reduce the rate or anything.
I hate to stiff a waitress or waiter, but I stiffed her. She did not do anything for us or to our bill, $132.10 for two people with drinks, which if she had done something to deduct for the error inputting the order would have gained her back the tip of approximately $20.
My opinion, the prices are high, but you do get more than just a steak, you get salad, soup, and rolls, but still a 9 oz filet for $39.99 is a bit much. Freddie's in Mannford with sides and everything serves a Filet Mignon for $27.99 that is just as good if not better and bigger. And the mark up on the stuffed mushrooms was $8.99 for 6 or 7 mushrooms with cheese and something else in them. Good but nothing special.
Draft beer was $6.50 a glass, we ordered 3, and double mixed drink was $9.63, then a liquor tax on top of that.
Anyway, I will not be returning to The Spudder Restaurant and will tell friends, good food, but high prices. Beware!
But I will tell everyone I know to take the drive to Mannford to Freddie's. read more
