- JJessicaWisconsin •3 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoWhen we got to our table, our friends were a little but we were told we needed to be done in 2 hours, "is that ok?" I didn't think it would be a problem. The waiter took my husband & I's drink order and our friends arrived. Instead of taking their drink order, he took the food order of a group of 10 that had been seated after us. He then informed me my drink should be right up. (It took 15mins) he finally came to take our food order by saying "I'll need to take your food order now please" at time finally asked our friends what they would like to drink as well. We felt very rushed. 3 of the 4 meals came out. My husband was told his would be right out. My potatoes were cold. We were about halfway through our meal when the waiter finally realized my husband still hadn't gotten his meal. He went to check and said he didn't know what happened, but it's being prepared now. Not 2mins later, someone brought him "his" sandwich. Turned out it wasn't what he ordered at all. We told our waiter after he tried to give his actual sandwich to a different table and realized they got mixed up. It was ridiculous.More infoLiberty Station - MadisonPrice: Moderate• Barbecue• Madison•4.7
