Reviews for Keese's Simply Delicious

09/03/2011 - Dirty Restaurant
This place is the worst excuse for a restaurant. The place is filthy and the owner is extremely ignorant.
This place should be closed down by the Board of Health.

This is the best place in the world!!! Everything is so super fresh! I have not had such good food anywhere in florida! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food is something I dream about and will drive 45 minutes to get to!!

We come here all the time and never get disappointed. The gyro is good, the falafel is better and all the salads are great as well.

We went to Lauderdale by the Sea to see the "Christmas by the Sea Event". The band was great and the local people also great as well. We had a wonderful time. Beer and the wings from The Village Pump, the Ahi Seared Tuna from "101 Ocean" was delicious!

On the way home we stopped into a Hole in the Wall next door on A1A called "Keese's Simply Delicious" to get a bite. Thinking that "A "Local Place" might end the night in a great experience of the small town. We've traveled the World and that's usually the way to go...

WE WERE WRONG! OH, WERE WE SO WRONG!!!

We ordered a Gyro w/ fries for $6.75 (Always order a Gyro when in the Middle East...), a Meatball Sub w/ fries for $7.50 (They were both supposed to come with fries and a pickle)... THEY DIDNT! I also ordered an extra order of "fries for two" from the menu for $3. Total $17.25 + tax...

When I got to the counter to pay, Another woman Denise behind the sweaty counter area asked for $23.64... I figured, what the hell... I paid $24 even without thinking, smiled and left the counter... "Cindy L." (at least thats what was on the receipt I got later from these idiots) our order taker... charged us $19.28 "$7.50 Meatball Sub + $6.75 Gyro Pita + $.99 Extra (WHAT THAT WAS FOR IS BEYOND ME) + a Side of French Fries for $2.95" and I gave $24 even and started walking away... Hopefully to have a nice "Local Dinner" when we got home... What the extra $.99 and $5 was for... I DON'T KNOW... But whatever... I wish I could upload a scan of this receipt I have...

Maybe I'll frame it!

As we were walking away, I noticed the "$3 Extra Order of Fries" that I ordered wasn't in the bag! OK... Simple Mistake... I looked in the only 2 containers in the bag and saw a measely tiny little gyro the size of a baseball on HALF A RIPPED PITA and the other container had still frozen meatballs from Publix with 2 frozen slices of pastureized fake mozzerella cheese and straight out of a can sauce on top... It wasn't fit for our dog!!! let alone a Human Being!!! Let alone MY WIFE!!! BTW - NO FRIES.. AND NO PICKLE...

OK... Overcharging us $5 + $.99 for something unknown was ok, but NOT GIVING US WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN... NO NO NO... I was hungry...

I immedialtely walked back and asked where the fries were. The woman that gave me the bag says "It's in there!" I said, "UH NO...

THE EXTRA ORDER OF FRIES WERE NOT IN THERE..." Do I want to buy a Samsung-o stereo also? Hmmmm? WHAT?

So I asked for the "Extra Order of Fries" we were supposed to get. She said, "Give me $3.36" I gave her $4, she threw a bag of fries at me and she never came back with the change... So I left thinking whatever... Maybe she expected a TIP? Whatever...

As I was walking out the door I felt a urgent need to make Right the Wrong that I was done. So I went back and tried to ask her why I was being charged now a total of about $7+ for $3 fries PLUS not getting fries in the first place? After 5 minutes of trying to speak ENGLISH to her I gave up... Maybe that was her Schtick? It was like trying to argue with the Electronics guy from "Don't Mess With The Zohan"...

I gave up and just threw the whole bag in the garbage... I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO "Keese's Simply Delicious" EVER AGAIN. NOR WILL I EVER FORGET THE INCIDENT...

I WILL NEVER GO NEAR THAT PLACE AGAIN... I will also tell everyone I know this absurd and dark funny story...

I've NEVER even seen something close to this kind of ignorance/stupidity... From the Rainforest to Amsterdam!!! This one will definitely go in my journal...
