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.

Too Much Ice


I love ice cream. That's my all time favorite dessert. While out I decided to get ice cream and hubby wanted some too. Right across from our bank is a Baskin-Robbins. I haven't had any in a very long time, so I got cherries jubilee and hubby stuck with his usual vanilla.

As he's eating he's telling me there's a piece of ice. At first we thought it was a a small piece, but imagine our surprise when he found the above in his vanilla scoop on a sugar cone.

We won't be returning. Yes, the customer service was on point, but that extra gift in the ice cream was not need. So to make sure we stay healthy and without belly aches we will satisfy our ice cream cravings some place else.

This Baskin-Robbins is located at:
