7.00

I guess total count is now closer to 19?

. . . be ready to tip well.

 

NINETEEN!!!! DAYUM! That's awesome! our summer turnouts weren't even that big. (at least that i attended)

Crazy Ohioans.

 

Trying to seat that many people at an Outback on a Friday night is going to be absolutely wild.

 

My buddy Joe is going to join us, so set another place at the table.

 

I'll tip well if the service is good, haha

 

any time you go out with Brian you should be prepared to tip well.

 

Won't matter . . . they will tack on an automatic 18% for parties over 8. So be nice, Brian . . . the best we can hope for is they don't spit in our food.


Speaking of tipping, funny story - one of my daughters is a hostess at the Brown Derby/Road House on Mayfield Road and they had a party of 12 women come in who had absolutely no intention of leaving a decent tip and began yelling about the policy. When the manager wouldn't budge they insisted on separate tables right next to each other, and he gave in on that.

They all ordered expensive meals and when it came time to pay several of the younger ones headed for the door. The waitress had been around and knew a D&D when she saw one, and headed out after them. She politely asked them to come back in and they did, but then all twelve surrounded the waitress and began screaming and jostling her. When she tried to break out of the circle she bumped one of the twelve who was holding a baby. That woman began to scream that her baby had been attacked. All the while the old bar flies that spend their evening trying to pick up my 17 year old daughter were shouting choice phrases to incite the women even more. The cops showed up, found that the woman with the baby had an outstanding warrant, and hauled her off to jail.

The restaurant had to buy the meals of all the other patrons in that section, and I don't think that particular waitress ever did a tip that night.

 

Hey now, the last time I was out I was very well behaved and polite. Ask Ryan, he was there. I even had a good 7-8 shots of Patron in me too.

 

This is the one we are meeting at right?


Outback linky

 

Yeah, Brian that's it. It is actually at the corner of Rte 82 and 271. But you may have to get off at Rte 8 if coming Northbound. I don't think there's a northbound exit at 82. There is one Southbound.

 

Sweet, thanks Mark.

I'm probably just gonna get off at 82 on 480 since I'll be coming up the pike, then just treck across 82 at 25 mph, haha. If I go any other way I'll be doing a lot of backtracking.

 

That's too slow. Take TP to Rte 8. Head North. Just as you pass under I271 you'll see a McDonalds. Turn right on that road. Thats the road the Outback is on.

 

But it'll cost like an extra 25 cents to go to exit 180

Good point though, I'll probably just go that way then. That way I don't have to putz along at 25mph down 82

 

Mach, that story is fuggered up in so many ways. if i were the store manager, I'd have simply asked the nice ladies to leave at the beginning... i mean he should have known it would have turned into a cluster ****.

 

Wow, that story is intense... I personally hate getting arrested and try to avoid cops at all costs. Which is why i try not to make a scene is restaurants.

Outback opens I'm 4.00... I'm going to request their "party room" and see what they say.

Also, I'm putting the "call ahead seating" under the name of "Wankel"


"Wankel, party of 20, your table is ready"

 

I don't think they have a party room Steve.

There's a Chili's just up the street if they can't take care of us. We can just mosey over there.

 

I'm aware they do not have a party room, which is why when I request that we get it'll be funny. Like ordering a Chicken McFish from McDonalds.

I agree with the Chili's though... that used to be a ground round when I lived in Hudson...

 

Hell as long as there is beer I really don't care where we meet. haha

I sure do hope the pike is clear for the ride up.

 

we may as well just hit The Lizard back up... they will have sufficient room for 20-ish people.

 

The whole point was to not go to a bar though. Steve...what did Outback have to say?

 

Not to go to a bar, or not to go to a place that serves alcohol? Because technically The Lizard is not a bar, although it has a bar in it. Same with Outback and stuff. :p

 

I second the Lizard as a fallback, but I'm easy. We should probably pick somewhere for that so that late comers will have an easier time of it.

 

They opened at 4.
They will try sit us in the same section. but no way at the same table.

Manager said it'll be really tough and said we "may" want to explore other options.
But they are expecting us for a total of 20 at 7pm.

They gave me the confirmation number of 6411

Final thoughts? I told the manager I would call them back after posting on here

 

I'll third the Lizard because I absolutely love their pizza. nom nom nom

(as a fall back of course )

 

Hey yall, I am going to have to woose out on tonight. I just picked up a sick kid and quite frankly I am beat after working outside for most of the day. Was really looking forward to meeting some new people. Enjoy your evening!
