Tolbert's - Grapevine - Please stop staring!

69/100

Tolbert's by far is the strangest place I have been in a long time.  The minute we arrived, they made us feel like they were doing us a favor.  Some strange lady kept staring at our party of seven the entire time.  Like really strange stares!  The waitress was completely unprofessional and obviously lacked experience.  Here is an idea... ask for a drink order after we sit down instead of asking, "Ya'll know what you want" while we are still sitting down.  For gosh sakes, hire experienced wait staff, not your uncle's, friends, cousin!

WEIRD!

Anyway, the food wasn't too bad.  The menu and the food is sort of "been there, done that".  Nothing to recommend.  Just wish our order came out together.  Not five minutes apart.  Mine was cold!

I finally had to ask our disty, young, clueless, waitress why the older women was glaring at us.  She said, "I don't know, she is sort of like that.  She is the owner and does that a lot"...  Wow, I am sure her dad would be proud to know how his kids are running the place now. She even followed one of our party into the bathroom!  I asked is she had said anything to her.  Nope, just stared at me...

The place has potential.  The location is fun.  The interior is decent.  Just spruce up the menu and don't let the owner near the place.  Oh, and hire actual waiters and waitresses.  That's all...
