Do The Waitresses Work For Tips?

by hollywoody13

Strolling in for a late lunch should have been a hassle free dining experience, except for the horrible waitress who couldn't be bothered to actually be professional and help us. She didn't appreciate us asking to sit in the window, and took our order with even less interest. But to top it all off, when I asked how the buffalo wings came, and if I could get them spicy, she poured 2 -3 cups worth of HABANERO SALSA all over them. And with a grin told me "you wanted them spicy."

Needless to say, I couldn't eat them, and didn't appreciate her trying to "teach me a lesson." Here the one I learned loud and clear " DON'T EAT AT POLKER'S!!!

• Cons: Better Service at an Execution

best burger...

by hedykay

i lived around the corner from this place, at a 'motel' that is anything less than desirable. i went to polker's several times. for dinner, for breakfast, by myself and with someone else. never, ever did i get terrible service despite not being one of those people who likes to wait for tables or put my name on a list. i went in when it was crowded even, and the service was always fine! but burger wise, excellent. breakfast wise, excellent (their coffee is strong and good). i think what i noticed most about them is their gourmet burgers, but more importantly how well they stand up. most the time i am left with pieces due to poor choices in buns. not them! they stand up well until i am finished. i would recommend this place to anyone wanting a good burger. been to burgermeister, but not darla's. i would say their drink selection could be less priced or have a 'happy hour' like burgermeister does.

• Pros: everything
• Cons: expensive drinks and no specials for a burger place
