Got seated and one waitress was waiting for our waitress Delilah to take our order and drinks. Didn 't see her so the other waitress took our drink order and food order. Wasn 't busy at the time. Maybe 4 other tables beside us around noon to 1pm. Onetable waiting to check out the others being helped by the other waitress. Our food came and I order the Regan burger mostlycause of the side of jelly beans. Waitress Delilah placed it and left. Some of the workers came out and to look out the doorwith her. Don 't know what that was about. Had to wave her down to get a refills on our drinks and ask about my jelly beans.After giving us our items she left and I noticed the other waitress working hard. Taking phone order and helping her tables.When people came in they just look around and left. About done with the meal then asked how or where we pay she said she 'll cashus out. When new customers came in waitress Delilah didn 't say anything or smile. No 'hello or we 'll be with you ' it was theother waitress that did. I counted at least 7 people on staff. The food is awesome but service needs a little work.
