Pardner's -b-que Steak - Piney Flats

Tonight was the worst culinary experience I had in every restaurant in my life. Somehow it's like you're pretending you never did. After sitting, we waited almost 35 minutes before someone set to our table. I had to fly a server to get our drinks orders. We went ahead and ordered our food as we had half an hour or so take a look at the menu that took another 45 minutes to get the main part of the duck. The sides finally came to the table for one and a half hours. After receiving our food, I went to empty tables (which there were very few, since the place hopped) in search of bottles of salt and pepper shakers that were not as shown in the photos below, without luck. I received undercoppers and inedible Hushpuppies with my meal (which are shown below). It is quite clear that the owner of this facility is more concerned with the lining of their bags with the money of customers who expect decent service and a good meal, by revising their already underused servers and capitalizing on their hard work sitting in a comfortable chair somewhere different than their equipment that pays their bills. That was absolutely pathetic. I cannot believe that they charge money for locals and visitors equally for such bad service and disgusting conditions. My following review will be Facebook, and then the Sullivan County Health Department on Monday morning. Save your time and don't eat here. For all employees who need better conditions, find me on Facebook and ask me about a job with better pay and better working conditions. Update: I also spoke to the wonderful manager who reduced our meal and made sure that the owner was not there. The busiest night of the week. It's in a restaurant. This really shows where the priorities of the owners lie. Painful guidance.

First time there. Bad service. Had to ask several times for refills for drinks. Took long time for our food. They brought out 2 people's side dishes about 20 minutes before we got our main food. One lady didn't get her chicken sandwich (all she ordered) until 15 minutes after everyone else received their food. We had to ask for the baked potato that was never brought out.I can say the side dishes were wonderful. 2 of us got the bbq pork, neither of us liked it at all. 1 got the brisket, did not like it. I haven't looked at any reviews but sorry to say we will not go back. 1 said the ribs were good.

We came to have the all you can eat fish. I had the biggest baked potato I have ever seen in my life. Our waitress was wonderful, she never let our drinks go dry and she kept us supplied in fish. She was great to cut up with as well. I will definitely make sure she is my waitress every time I come here. I added a picture of the potato, it fills the entire bowl.

The baked potatoes were huge... and very tasty.. Nice salad.. I got the combo plate of brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was very tender and good. I didn't care for the pulled pork; it just had a different taste to it that I didn't care for. The staff was very nice.

We typically order to go? something has been missing from our order the last few times we?ve ordered. This time: macaroni salad, slaw, ranch (with the fried pickles) and no bbq sauce. I know places are short staffed and we are understanding of that but it just takes a few seconds to make sure someone?s order is ready/complete before giving it to them? Adding: pickles weren?t done and we paid $3 for an order of tater tots that were barely a child?s serving.
