Our first, and I'm sad to say, our only trip to the Motor Company Grill. This place had good reviews on Google and on TripAdvisor, so we figured it would be a good place to eat. We were promptly seated. It took a few minutes for a waiter to come by and get our drink orders and then we didn't see him again for 12 minutes. He repeatedly apologized for forgetting about us. We gave him our orders and our salads came within a reasonable amount of time. We hadn't even had time to put our salad dressings on our salads when the entree came. My first thought wasn't even about the timing it was about the size of the hamburger steak. I'm having a very difficult time recalling, but I don't believe I've ever had one that small before. The food was good but it was nothing to write home to Mom about about.
My wife has to eat gluten-free so she ordered a grilled chicken dish with mashed potatoes. Her dish was just average and wasn't very appealing to look at. The mashed potatoes came out with gravy on them, which a gluten-free person can't eat just regular gravy, so she had to scrape it off.
Our waiter came back by and again apologized. This time, for the timing of the salad and the entrees. I had to ask him to bring me a refill of water because I'd been out for some time. Not sure if our waiter was just having an off night or if this is usual for this restaurant. The waiter and the food certainly weren't deserving of four plus stars, which is what brought us to the Motor Company Grill in the first place. We hope others don't experience what we went through.
