We have been regular customers at Tinker's Junction in Grayling, MI for a number of years, however after the way we were treated last night we will not be going back again. We arrived around 6pm, and ordered by 6:30. Over an hour later, and after seeing many other tables come in, eat, and leave, we asked the waitress when we could expect our food to be served. By this time we had finished our drinks, and we were told it would be another 50 minutes before our food would be ready! I spoke with the owner, who told me they were doing the best they can, but with only one fryer they were having trouble getting the fish orders out (Friday is fish fry night), and that our order would be out as soon as possible. If you offer a fish fry in Northern MI, you need to be able to deliver, and one fryer doesn't really cut it, besides there were 6 in our party, and only two ordered fish; 4 pieces of Cod total; the rest of our orders were from the grill. Our original waitress never returned to our table; instead another waitress (tall, thin woman who appears to be of Asian heritage, and who is a long time employee), came over to tell us she could cancel our order if we wanted, however we had well over an hour invested at this point, and it was going on 8pm, so we waited. When the food did come, my wife's food (beef fajitas) was totally unacceptable, over cooked, cold, and did not have any of the toppings she ordered. The owner, (Katie I believe is her name), was apologetic, but offered nothing but the apologies to make it right. I have worked in food service before, and I know stuff happens, and when it does the right thing to do is to fess up, apologize to the customers, and offer them something; a discount, free meal, free drink, something, but we were offered nothing but a hard time from the very RUDE waitress, who told us WE are mean. I told the owner, we have choices; Ray's, Spike's, Grey Rock, Margarita Bar & Grill, Paddle Hard, and a couple of other places in town. We will not be back to Tinker's again.
