And the potato?s were hard and flavorless . The muffin had a spread of butter on it, which I did notwant or knowingly know it was gonna be served like that , much prefer having butter on the side, so I can put the amount I?dlike on my muffin. I wasn?t impressed. :

I was in today with friends for lunch, and it was a disaster. I realize staffing issues are everywhere, but this was bad. The first thing our waitress asked us was, ?Who got here first you or them?? (Pointing to a table near us) as shedidn?t know who to ask for their order first. Inappropriate at best. No greeting, no hello, etc. It was prettyuncomfortable. The restaurant was barely filled as the were many open tables. Our table had no placemats, nor silverware, norwater/glasses as they usually have. So, when she approached us again, we asked for water, and she left without taking our drinkorder, and returned without the water or silverware!! When she finally did take/bring our drink orders, she still forgot thewater and we had a once again ask for silverware. It was all just bizarre. I?ve eaten here so many times over the years andI?ve seen the decline in food quality and service but I have never seen it like this. Also, a friend used the restroom andsaid it was an ?absolute mess.? I?m not sure what is going on, but safe to say I will not return to this location. The foodwas OK, but not good enough to make up for everything else.

There?s definitely consistency in all of the Turning Points so far (other than one . Holmdel waiter (I don?t remember his name but he was tall, light hair maybeJosh? He was very attentive, kind and welcoming. He kept us updated throughout our experience there and seemed to enjoy hisjob. Energy is contagious so definitely left a positive mark on the experience. Thank you, Turning Point! I can tell the companycares about the consistency of kindness (and who they hire throughout the chain.

I ordered the cuban sandwich and when I went to bite into one half of the sandwich, it appeared that there was no turkey or ham. All I saw was bread. I opened up the sandwich and it had half apickle and one tiny piece of ham. I pick up the other half and it had one slice of a pickle, one thin slice of ham and one thinslice of turkey. I've been here three times and it's been a miss since the first visit. Every time I come , I come with an openmind hoping for a better meal than the previous. It has yet to happen. Maybe I'll just stick to their breakfast foods which alllook amazing but I have yet to try.

However, the service is not always the best and we have had some issues with the cleanliness of tables and utensils. The service needs some improvement, and thequality of the food is sometimes inconsistent. Nonetheless, we enjoy coming here.
