red bar breakfast...

first of all...I am going against the grain here but, I don't get why people love the red bar AT ALL. Maybe because I don't drink and I like peaceful places.
MY BREAKFAST WAS AWFUL!! Completely tasteless. Although it is cheap, I'd rather spend the extra $ for some decent food. Quality over quanity, which I know is not the red bar policy but it should be, especially at breakfast.
The place was so loud (stayin' alive at 8 am???please!), the food was terrible. I felt so sorry for the waitress, some older woman (who later announced to the entire room that she had to fart...did I mention this was an OLDER woman??...such class) kept coming up to her at tables and telling her what to do, asked me 5 times (at least) if I wanted refills on my coffee, after I already told the older woman, I was fine. The poor waitress just said "I'm going to go ahead and fill your cup, just leave it there so I won't get in trouble."
I have only lived here for a year or so but I think the red bar has a very limited fast-food type menu, which is fine for tourists but I don't get why locals think this place is so great. Just beacuase someone plasters a bunch of crap on the walls and duck tapes seats doesn't really make it a cool place (tacky & overrated would be more appropriate) to eat or hang out. I guess because there's really not anywhere to go in Grayton to drink and the locals here drink a lot, I noticed.. Or maybe just a southern thing, I don't get the hype AT ALL.:idontno:
Just my opinion:yikes:

I've been in and out of the restaurant business in this area for years so when I hear someone complaining about something my comment has always been........ "Hey Delta is ready when you are"! Trust me it works! :biggrin:
Doesn't sound like very good customer relations, though...:shock:

I'm a local...been here a LONG time (yes, I drink) and Oli is always welcoming and happy to see the locals. We keep him in business in the off season, if there is an off season any more at the Red Bar. I've always had grayt food and service and have a grayt time whenever I go there.

I have read this entire thread and I have to say the farting....got my attention! Way too funny...as well as the farting dough boy.... LOL!!!!

I think we at Sowal should show Oli some love and meet at the bar at 5PM......any takers??? Give him a GOOD dose of local love.

Red Bar has soul

Lots of it and I oughta know since I am from Soulsville, USA; Memphis...we eat there everytime we are at the house, bring others to the place no matter the time of year, and have never had an unpleasant experience. Great food, super service,funny times, wonderful people watching - and next will be to try the breakfast one morning. Keep on keeping ON!, Oli.

no, I'm not the drunk, my friends who visit get really wasted there, I'm speaking about a pepsi with my dinner. Last time I was there for dinner, granted it was spring break, the food came out so quick, I didn't even get my soda, is what I was saying.

Sorry to confuse.
so now we know ,Oli are your a pepsi serving place and not the real thing coke? I never knew! But then I never had breakfast there.


to all:this is an attempt to make light of the whole thing.
