I used to work here and I completely agree.. the desserts are horrible. It’s crazy because they look absolutely delicious, but they are extremely dry and nasty. I must admit thou, the cheesecakes are very good. They are the only dessert that is. I do know that the desserts are made fresh (how they are so dry, I have no idea), but they keep backups of all the cakes in the display case in the front, so if it takes a few weeks for a cake to be eaten, then the backups are then going to be weeks old. So that is probably the reason why they taste that way. I had a slice of the italian rum cake for my birthday and it tasted like I took a straight shot of dry rum. It was HORRIBLE. And my boss wouldn’t even let me have the slice of cake for free on my birthday, even though they give away free cake to the customers for their birthday.. how rude?? The cooks are very dirty and unsanitary. One of the cooks spits on the floor constantly behind the food line while he’s preparing food. Another smells like body odor SO bad that every time he would come near me I had to hold my breath. Another touches raw meat and then prepares a sandwich with his bare hands without washing them. They cook all the food on the same grill and don’t clean it until the end of the day. I’ve seen them wipe off excess creamed chipped beef from the side of someone’s plate with their finger and then stick their finger in their mouth to eat the excess food. I’ve seen them drop bread, bacon, etc. on the floor where the one cooks spits, and pick it up to put it back on the plate. They are very nasty and I would never eat something that the cook has to prepare for me from this diner.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, Necee. Make sure to give the restaurant a vote. If you're not sure how, check out http://chewru.com/how-to-vote/ . If I don't already know the quality/freshness of cakes, I make it a point not to buy any of them unless they have no slices out of them. 99% of the time they're dirt-dry. =)

I live near by and me and my family purchased desserts from there often. I would like to say there dessert is disgusting. I have never had dessert that has tasted so bad.The death by chocolate..Nasty..Lemon meringue..Nasty…Wedding cake..Nasty suprising my husband says the cheesecake is good. The cakes are dry and taste like they are not fresh. The chicken ceaser salad is not flavorful how you mess that up I am not sure. I give that diner a 1.5 out of 5
