On November 3rd, 2011 I went into the Burnt Stew Cafe for the first time since it opened, I had been thinking of going there for a while. Once getting there it was very busy which was fine because they were still taking orders and getting people's food out. I placed my order and was patiently waiting for my food when I realized I forgot to ask if I could have pickles on my sandwich as well. The cafe was beginning to clear out and so I thought I would ask if I could add pickles. To my surprise the server flat out told me "No" so of course I asked why? She said the chef was slammed and that if she asked him he would explode on her and be super rude. I gave her a funny look and thats when she offered to go into the back and see if she could get me a pickle on the side. I feel like the service in Burnt Stew was horrible I would never say no to one of my clients or tell them one of co-workers might explode if you ask him something. I understand it was busy but maybe think about putting it in different terms, this experience makes me not want to return to the Burnt Stew Cafe.
