Ousetunes Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Been going there fairly regularly since it opened in, I think, 1979. I'd say we've had a handful of duff meals in that time; most often the food's been very good and the service as good as one could hope for. As for the idea that we might consider Yankees a bona fide American Diner, don't worry. Would I consider an O'Neill's pub to be a true reflection of the real deal in Dublin? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaymePal Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 If you bring this rare occurence to the attention of the owners, Micky Freeman junior and senior they will more than go out of their way to rectify the situation as they are both respectable and fair minded business men of good calibre, they wouldn't want you upset and i will also mention it to them or him...

Ousetunes Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 We went again yesterday (Sunday 17th April). Although the service was a tad slow it was faultless. But, horror of horrors: where has the naked bottied tennis player poster gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denomis Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It's a shame you had such a bad experience at Yankees because it is actually a really nice place. I used to work there so to shed some light on your experience - it's for health and safety reasons that the relish trays cant be left on the tables for too long, kids try dipping their food into the sauces and putting their fingers in them etc. so health and safety policy requires that the sauces are not left on tables for more time than necessary. I'm sure there was enough time to get what sauces you wanted. I think it's acceptable that she took your meal off the bill if you were not pleased and didn't eat it but why should they take everything else off? It's a business at the end of the day not a free for all. I think it's unreasonable to expect to get everything for free because ONE of the meals was displeasing... I don't think there are many restaurants who would do that. Some wouldn't even knock it off I'm sure! kids eating the sauce and dipping food................into dips thank god we have health and safety to stop this sort of threat to human life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't work like that, we all share the same tray of sauces , that's why they don't stay on the table for long. What's wrong with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppins Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 From what I've recently seen the dipping sauces came individually attatched to the gadget that holds the sliders (mini burgers) & fries, they were served in a cone shape wrapp placed in another metal cone with attatched dipping sauces attached around the metal cone, you would have to swipe someone whole metal cone to get to someones elses sauce ..hard to explain, the metal cone and dipping sauce cups were all one piece, in fact last night was the first time I'd ever seen anything served like that when I took my 3 neices out to eat at "their favorite place " I was quite impressed how they were served...to add, I've never see three skinny kids eat so much, 6 of us were able to fit in one small booth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
