As a regular customer of Shakey's Tomas Morato, my family decided to take a snack at their Greenhills branch earlier. It was noticeable that there were few customers inside (4 families including ours) so we decided to push through with our snack.
We took a table, and sat down. Normally, a customer would take at least 5 minutes to make his order. However, as soon as we sat down and the menus were given the waitress abruptly asked us if we were ready with our orders. I gently said not yet. So she went away and proceeded with her work. After a minute or two, another waitress approached us and asked us the same thing, then again, I said not yet and I would just call one of them if we were already ready.
As soon as our orders [ namely the ff: 1.) 6 pc. chicken with mojos 2.) Chef's Choice Ceasar Salad 3.) Regular Thin Crust Hawaiian Pizza and; 4.) Biggest Coffee Chip shake ] were taken we were informed that the orders were to be served in a 15 minute span. The usual time. So I just said ok.
The 15th minute arrived, and only the 6 pc. chicken with mojos arrived. Ok, maybe the others will be served in around 5 minutes. So we dug in. I asked the manager if I could ask for a dip for the mojos, he said it would cost us 23 pesos ( WTF -- not being a cheapskate or whatever, but 23 pesos for a dip?! ) so I said nevermind.
Another 15 minutes have passed, no orders arrived. I followed up, twice. And was informed that the food will arrive in shortly.
After 25 minutes (making it a total of 40 minutes) the Pizza arrived followed by the Caesar Salad. I asked if my Coffee Chip Shake was already ready since the food will be shortly finished. They said it will take another 10 minutes before it will be served. Ok sure.
15 minutes have passed, no shake arrived. I got pissed and canceled the order. They said it will be ready in a short while, but I already gave them a long time to make that shake.
I asked for a comments/suggestions slip and filled it up with low marks and negative remarks. Then handed it to the manager.
When the bill came, I was expecting an apology. But I got NOTHING. Deadma. Even a simple sorry for serving your food late remark. Nothing.
Very poor service. I would understand if the restaurant was full, but no. There were only 4 families, including mine, inside.
Crappy service. Crappy personnel. Will definitely not going back there.
