Worst Dinner Ever: The Mayan

[wuapinmon]

I keep thinking, when you hit your finger with a hammer, do you blame the hammer, the nail, or your hand?

[DapperDan]

So what did you tip?

It's probably been 5 years since I last took our family there. They had changed the ordering style to where you ordered and paid while in line, handed you your food about 3 minutes later--no joke--while still in the line, then someone would sit you at a table.

Is it still really busy? If so, people must enjoy watching divers while they eat dinner a lot more than I would ever guess. If not, that place has got to be a serious money pit for the Millers.

I thought I heard that Larry sold his share of the Mayan a few years before he passed away. I could be wrong.

The Mayan and Casa Bonita have taught me to avoid restaurants at which the food isn't the star.

Ok, I would probably go to Casa Bonita again just for the flag system and the kitsch of it all, but I would complain about the food the whole time.

At least at Casa Bonita the sopapillas are good (and unlimited), even if the rest of the food isn't. And the flag system is fun.

Sold Mayan Adventure and Spaghetti Mama's at Jordan Commons in Sandy, Utah to Atlantic Restaurant Consultants

We took our kids several years ago and will never go back.

[SuperGabers]

As we were eating, the divers dove, and my kids did love that. I had to keep telling myself that we were there for the show and not for the food. So we finished up our meal, and our server brought the check. My wife clarified to him "You heard me say it was his birthday, right?" Our server said "Yes, we don't give anything for free on birthdays, but if you want to order something I can add it to the check." Ok, fine, but acknowledge a birthday. Tell the kid happy birthday or ask him how old he is turning. For crying out loud we heard two other parties get sung to across the way, don't ignore it like the asshole you are. But he did.

What a total jerk! Tip? Y/N?

And sizzle, our girl is turning 4 next week... Perhaps this could be a 10-cow kind of deal.

If you are offering cows, I have a 6 year old boy. PM me with details about the cows.

Yes, we left a tip. Although I think we only tipped him about 13% or so.

If you aren't opposed to your daughter switching collegiate preferences, we may be able to work something out.

For some reason I thought of this commercial

Horrible food and they're extremely slow. We allowed 2.5 hours for dinner before our movie and still missed the movie. I swore a couple of times.

IOW, you left him the Utah standard rate.

[Coach McGuirk]

I ate there once, 12 year ago or so.

Probably.

I don't know what good tips are, but we usually fall in line with 15-20%. Mostly because I like round numbers, figure out what 10% of the meal was and double it, find the nearest even dollar amount and make it so its in the 15-20% range. We've tipped more for really good service. So for us, it wasn't a good tip. But like you say, message probably not sent!
