点评:Went for the Thursday meatball special that’s regularly advertised on a local television station. As stated on Houghton’s menu, the specials are served from 11 am to 4 pm. However, when we arrived at around 1:30 pm, we were immediately informed by the waitperson that they had run out of mashed potatoes. We were told we could have fries if we were ordering meatballs. Who orders fries rather than mashed potatoes and gravy with meatballs! We opted for one of their sandwich choices which turned out to be subpar. At around 2pm, we heard the same waitperson inform a pair of incoming guests that they were now out of meatballs. If you advertise a daily special will be served between 11 am and 4 pm you must plan to have an adequate supply of said special available within at least that timeframe. And what respectable western Wisconsin restaurant runs out of potatoes… that can be prepared as mashed, baked or fried! The only positive we experienced was the excellent service provided by the lone waitperson during this moderately busy time of day. It’s doubtful we’ll return to Houghton’s anytime soon if at all.
翻译:去了当地电视台定期做广告的周四肉丸特别节目。正如 Houghton 菜单上所述,特价菜的供应时间为上午 11 点至下午 4 点。然而,当我们下午1点30分左右到达时,服务员立即告诉我们,他们的土豆泥已经卖完了。我们被告知如果我们点肉丸就可以吃薯条。谁点薯条而不是土豆泥和肉丸肉汁!我们选择了他们的三明治之一,结果证明效果不佳。下午 2 点左右,我们听到同一位服务员告诉两位即将到来的客人,他们的肉丸已经卖完了。如果您宣传每日特价将在上午 11 点至下午 4 点之间提供,您必须计划至少在该时间范围内提供足够的所述特价商品。威斯康星州西部哪家受人尊敬的餐厅没有土豆……土豆可以捣碎、烘烤或油炸!我们经历的唯一积极的事情是,在一天中繁忙的时间里,孤独的服务员提供了优质的服务。如果有的话,我们是否会很快回到霍顿是值得怀疑的。
