I told you we ate at the Swinging Bridge Restaurant. Nick and I had their fried chicken and the boys had chicken nuggets. The food was good, the service, meh. The boy's meal showed up in a timely fashion, ours however took over 40 minutes. The boys had finished their meals long before ours arrived.
While waiting on your meal, hopefully your wait won't be as long as ours was, but anyway, you can venture upstairs and cross the swinging bridge. They have all sorts of neat goodies for sale up there too, and lots of stuffed animals in precarious situations hiding among the merchandise.
I read somewhere that Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band stopped at the Swinging Bridge for lunch not too long back. I didn't happen to see him while we were there ;)
Great collage! How annoying about the service though.
ReplyDeleteLove the collage and the stuffed animals and a swinging bridge would be cool. Too bad about the service. B
ReplyDeleteToo bad service was blah, because it looks like a fun place...
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fun place, love the stuffed animals! There isn't much that annoys me worse than bad service when out to eat. Grrrr...
ReplyDeleteHey I went there with my host family when I was a student exchange back in 2008! Great place :D I have followed your blog for a year now and always read your posts, hoping that one day I would find a post about the places that I've ever been when I was in Roanoke and here it is :) by the way you've got a really nice blog!
ReplyDeletemuch love from Indonesia!

ReplyDeleteFun photos ~ great time had by all ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place. Looks like it was a great family day, despite the service!
ReplyDeleteglad you enjoyed the stop, if not the meal.
ReplyDelete40 minutes? YiKeS! That's not good at all!
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it w/ your guess, 'Watery Wednesday'! Her last post was back in March & I've left a couple comments w/ no response. I really hope nothing bad happened to her... it always makes me wonder why someone just stops blogging w/ no explanation.
I'd love to start it back up... I'm thinking seriously about it. Lots of people linked up, so I know they have to be missing it.
Looks like an entertaining place!
ReplyDeleteDespite the service, it looks like a fantastic place for the family. I'm sure your kids had fun!
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the service but it looks like a fun place. My daughter would have loved to have been there when Zac Brown was there. She loves him and his band.
ReplyDeleteI have heard before that the service is not the best there. But I hope the food was good.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is about time Christmas to arrive.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Friday.
Cute shot of the boys!
ReplyDeleteLong time to wait for food and the preparing and serving to part of the group is really a no-no in service standards.
Nice collage!
ReplyDeleteNeat idea for a restaurant...but they need to learn some basic restaurant etiquette....you NEVER serve some of the guests before the food is ready for the rest!
ReplyDeleteI guess I wouldn't mind waiting for someone else to cook supper -- sounds like a fun place. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a ridiculous wait but I guess it's good the children didn't have to wait that long :)
ReplyDeleteWow !
ReplyDeleteL'animale รจ il loro trofeo di caccia ?
Un abbraccio :))
