Very disappointed with our experience at Dunn's today.

I used to come here all the time & always had a great experience with both the food & the service, which is why today was particularly disappointing.

I came in with my husband, who ordered a Reuben. I wasn't very hungry, so I asked if I could order a kids' meal just to have something small while keeping him company. I was told I wasn't allowed to order from the kids' menu. I simply said,'Okay, thank you,' & decided not to order anything.

My husband enjoyed his Reuben so much that he ordered another one to take home. Unfortunately, when we got home & opened it, there was essentially no meat - it was almost entirely fat. He was expecting the same sandwich he had just enjoyed at the restaurant, but instead received what was basically a lard sandwich.

The restaurant was also extremely cold, which made the experience even less comfortable.

On top of everything, I felt that the waitress's attitude changed after I left a smaller tip. I didn't feel that the service warranted a larger tip based on my experience, & I felt uncomfortable with the impression that this affected her attitude toward us.

I'm genuinely disappointed because I used to come to Dunn's regularly & always had such positive experiences. Unfortunately, today the food, service, & overall atmosphere were nowhere near what I remember.

Very disappointed today at Dunns. I used to come here all the time & the food & service was always amazing. Unfortunately that is not the experience we had today. The service was terrible. I ordered a cobb salad, they forgot the eggs & many ingredients in the salad were missing. It was the most boring meal ive ever had in a restaurant. My husband had a smoked meat sandwich that he considered average at best. Sad to say I wont be coming back as I used to love coming here

We ordered the smoked meat plate only to get home & find they didn't put the coleslaw & pickles in our bag. Check your order before you leave. Don't trust them to get it right.
