    The Pecanberry salad was just right! We had a group of 6, and everyone found something they loved,…read moreand plenty of seating space.

    Family legend has it that my ancestors left Ireland for the new world to survive during the great…read morepotato famine, little could they know that generations later, an offspring would come face to face with the great Elizabethtown McAlisters potato famine. One month ago, I stopped in for lunch, I had a real craving for a baked potato. I stood in line for over 20 minutes - the lines move slow when you want a baked potato in this restaurant. I got to the counter, knowing full well I'd be late back to work due to the slow service at this particular location, placed my order for a delicious baked potato only to be met with "we don't have any spuds" I felt a stronger connection to my Irish kinfolk that day. I changed my order for a bowl of potato soup. The soup was a typical mediocre bowl of potato soup with maybe 4 actual pieces of potato in a creamy sauce. Boring. Approximately four weeks after this visit, my entire family decided they wanted to go to McAlister's - the same location nonetheless. I thought to myself "self, surely they have potatoes now!" (Foreshadowing). We arrived and, dreaming of delicious baked potatoes, we all each ordered a meal with a half spud. I had the honor of paying the large sum and I even left a generous tip because I was so excited that they had baked potatoes (they call them spuds). I usually don't tip for counter service - but I was just so excited. Finally, the Irish curse was broken. We Will Have Potatoes! We got our gigantic, flimsy tea cups and made our way to our table. Many minutes later. 8 or 9 minutes? A person came over to announce "we don't have spuds. You need to reorder." Suddenly it was the 19th century all over again. The entire family decided to migrate to another restaurant next door. I asked for a refund. The employee left then came back and said "they are going to refund your money and give you the food even still" Oh my. Decision time. Free food that we don't really want or go next door. I voted to leave. My ancestors have been through this before. Not again I said! I got out voted. We spent the next 10 minutes deciding and working to re-order all the food again. The food came. It was ok. Perhaps I was jaded because of the whole potato (um...spuds) thing. The next day I checked my card account online. They didn't refund the meal. We ended up paying for food we didn't really want. We should have gone to the place next door. To be fair, the folks were nice and pleasant. The store was clean and well organized. One last thing: Don't get the cookies. Not worth the cost. Save the money and the calories and find something better at the Bundt cake store! So long McAlister's, I must honor the ancestors and bid you farewell. I'll be getting my baked potatoes elsewhere- maybe that new giant Kroger has a good deal on potatoes....i mean spuds. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on the spuds.
