Landon's on Cascade

We all want to support businesses owned and operated by African Americans. Who better to support than one of our own?! That is exactly why when scheduling the location for a book club meeting I chose Landon's located on Cascade. The online menu was something that would satisfy the various taste buds in the group. The photos with the chef/owner with celebs was impressive. So an reservation was made for the group last Saturday.

After braving the monsoon on Saturday to get to the restaurant, after the experience the group had as a whole we were left with a soggy impression of the place. A waitress that was unsure of the specials and ready to take orders without giving us menus (which we had to request). Salads with dressing that had no flavor. Entrees coming to the table one at a time. A medium-well steak cooked very well and was tough as leather. Surprise side items paired with entrees because they did not have the sides listed in the menu. And a missing order that the waitress claims someone did not put in (excuse me but is the waitress not the person that puts the orders in).

The group was also disappointed that the owner/chef never came to the table to check on a large group but seemed more concerned with prepping for a private party.

Overall, not a good experience and the group agreed that we would not be returning. Landon's has missed out on this book club scheduling sign and dine events for authors.

The only two goods about this outing: the strong drinks from the bar and the great fellowship with the ladies of the book club.

  1. I agree. Let's not forget that gumbo that looked and tasted like dirty water. Sorry, they won't be receiving any more of my dollars.
