CZcamsrs and tiktokers with good followings and views should always tip well, those waiters/waitresses bring them their content. Glad Daym is a good man too
Yeah, that was cool of him. Small diners like that- the waitresses don't make much at all. Especially today. Hell - they don't even make much in chain restaurants.
For me, a large menu can be worrying. Some places can pull it off because their menu is made up of variations of base items (like a pizza and sub shop can have a large menu, due to it mostly being made up of types of pizzas and subs that use mostly the same ingredients in different frequencies), others just add and add to their menu and end up not having stuff or doing it poorly.
Diners and select Asian restaurants where every special has its own page are the only places where I feel comfortable with a massive menu. Anywhere else should stick that that 2-page max.
The fact that breakfast has gotten so expensive is crazy. I went to a breakfast spot on Friday with my girlfriend. Nothing fancy. Two pancakes were $8.99. That would buy you around 3 boxes of Great Value pancake mix.
Aye Daym. I've been going to triple A for years and yes they just changed owners about a year or so ago but kept the same name. Definitely ol reliable as far as 24 hr diners are concerned!
When the staff gets your drink asap on arrival that's an instant star and the start of a good tip imo. It's so rare tho. TY for another great vid master of food reviews.
It’s a shame that they messed up the pancakes, especially since they’re so easy to make! My guess is that they fried the pancakes on a part of the griddle that wasn’t hot enough. You need a nice, hot griddle or pan to fry up those pancakes right. If you make yours from scratch or a mix, preheat the griddle while you mix up the batter. Mix the batter just enough so that there’s no dry spots. Lumps are fine; don’t over mix the batter trying to get rid of lumps. Thanks for the great content, Daym!
I went to one of my worst rated restaurants in Louisville for a diner breakfast had the 3 cheese omelette Toast bacon and chocolate milk. My experience was average waiter left my food up on the counter atmosphere was weird inside and chocolate milk had a weird taste plus cost 5 dollars per glass was extremely high. Even though the food was average I only gave them a chance because of this series and I hope to find a good one!
That waffle look fluffy and on point....what's next on the agenda the best and worst bake potato I guess only time will tell....salute Brother Daym 👊🏾💯
The customer service was amazing she was very intentive you can tell she also takes care of her customers like she does her family his bless her them potatoes look good af too
Honestly, that mandatory tip thing is really a gamble at best. At places that are more upscale that I have worked, I do understand it when the party is large or it's an actual party or something like that and CLEARLY understood before they come in. However, at a place with lower overall bills, your really going to do better just forgetting about that system. Usually, people paying much lower bills will very often tip over that 20% just because they feel such a small percentage is ridiculous for good service. ESPECIALLY regulars! It's just bad business money grab type stuff that are almost always bad ideas and totally counterproductive. Just my opinion tho. 😊
based on his receipt it looks like he didn't pay one so its probably only for late nights or big groups. Cash only though probably hurts their business a lot more that might be only a temporary issue though.
The key to great pancakes is mix them by hand , if you over mix by machine the gluten gets activated and they get chewy . I like them thin and with real maple syrup, but most restaurants can't afford that so it makes sense . NOW, here comes the game changer folks! Treat syrup like a dipping sauce , not a topping . That way it doesn't soak into the pancake and start getting mushy and dry. Try it, you'll see!
Large menu's can be a distraction, if there's variation then that's fine but they gotta be careful with what they have on it so it doesn't look bloated.
When a menu is that big the place is almost guaranteed to have awful food. There is no way to have all those ingredients at a good quality and cooks who can do all the items well. Been to so many places with giant menus where you can taste the food is all days or weeks old and microwaved.
If they charging a %20 tip up front, then I expect exceptional service from beginning to end. And I will call them out on it, repeatedly, if necessary.
yea if they redid the menu to be shorter with their specialties and some easy stuff to make with drinks while keeping it short then that menu will flow much easier. yea been watching too much Bar Rescue and the Gordon Ramsey version of that. The oil in the pancakes might be from the cooking plate they use. Probably a one cook for everything so that oil taste is probably from that.
it should say it mandatory tipping on the menu period. Bold print on every page. Not on the door aint nobody looking at no dam door. That's very salacious!
Daym in my opinion that place definitely deserved 4 stars. I was really impressed I think they do need to update the menu. I don't know how anyone can screw up pancakes. I didn't think that was possible
didn't notice the busted door. means one of two things. it's real good or a dead end if you get what i'm sayin. not much a pancake fan, but i do like me a waffle.
The turkey meat In the turkey omelette looked like a cheap lunch meat. However, since you enjoyed it so much I’m assuming it’s something better than that And no pancakes just waffles please!!
Could it have been they used too much oil on the flat top to cook the pancakes? And I know it's a preference, but y put so much on the level of said drink u ordered @ the start of the meal?
exactly, he got the camera, mic and shirt on doing reviews while they're taking his order. other people who dont have that dont get the luxury of being treated like an actual customer.
3:44 I'm saying a prayer for your stomach. Lord, please keep Daym from getting food poisoning, or from getting a stomach flu from the abominable food he's suffer through for our entertainment. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. 11:18 Those pancakes look like they're ok - a lot like the ones I make myself at home. Personally, I like my pancakes to be on the thinner side. I know what you mean about the batter though - that means they're probably undercooked on the inside due to the cook using too high of a temperature. (edit: the pancakes I make at home are never undercooked like that. I know better.) This causes the pancake to be cooked to perfection on the outside, while on the inside you might still have some uncooked pancake batter. That happened to me at the worst pancake spot in Western Washington state - Family Pancake House. Man, at that place, they tasted like they were made with Bisquick, and were misshapen. What I mean by that is that they were shaped like a door stop/wedge kind of thing. Thick on one side, thin on the other. They were burnt a little on the outside, and yet when I cut into them, actual uncooked pancake batter started leaking out. Those things gave me the trouble guts later on that day.
I stopped patronizing restaurant's a long time ago that have mandatory tipping. To me tipping is charity and that depends on how I feel. It also depends on how I feel about the service and the food. No incentive to offer 4-5 star service when the tip is already included. Now I just stopped eating in altogether. The can keep they're raggedy food and mandatory tip. How much tip you gonna get if you have no customers? tell me dat? Somebody done told them wrong. These restaurant's really think they are doing us a favor and mando tipping is the end result of this notion of extreme grandeur. Rich idiots are to blame for this blasphemy.
Yeah them Dominicans that own it now don’t know what they’re doing, But this spot is mainly a go to diner after the club so unruly staff late at night might be what they’re talking about. Maddie’s is my go to breakfast spot now
That’s probably one of the best waitress you had in your videos. She was on point. I would go to that diner just for that super level of customer service.
That waitress was smiling so hard at the end. You made her day. So awesome.
Probably made her whole day. Love to see it
Fr I love it you can tell she’s a sweet lady with a good heart

Especially Asian place, cause majority probably get prep and throw in the freezer then pop in chef mike to defrost then throw on a wok to cook again

One of my favorite series to watch because it gives me a good idea how good some of the foods look along with how well or bad the service is.
Bigger menus usually is a good clue that a lot of stuff is precooked or frozen.
Umm I don't believe it's legal for a restaurant to have a 20% tip requirement
It is legal
@@zezoo2107as long as they are upfront about it
Legal Yes
Ethical is debatable
A business has every right to add a gratuity to their prices.
But that's not nothing but cherry picking on the gratuity, gratuity should come to you.

Excellent and entertaining review as always. Thank you for editing in the music information.
This for real. Daym's got some good taste
i agree tip is service,food,cleanliness etc. I start deducting brownie points one or two things happens.
I remember going to Triple-A back in the 90's (after going to a show or a club). They were open 24hrs. Food used to be good.

Once again another great review as always. I don't watch any other food reviewers only you since 2013
The wall of cheap gumball machines and the broken door window at the entrance would be enough for me to walk away.

The bigger the menu, the more overwhelmed the kitchen is which usually results in some messed up cooking
Should have done ✅ a St Patrick’s Day Food Review 🍀
“Do you need a minute?” I need a bookmark, in case I need to use the bathroom.
I really can’t get my mind around how you mess up pancakes 😉😉
Love daym drops. He's like a cool uncle to me.

If you have an original pancake House, in Connecticut, I would highly suggest it. The food is top notch.
NOTIII GANGGG 🥴 love your content, and saw your Netflix show it was the best 😎
I like that you list the song and artist while you're driving to the spot 😁
I am always AMAZED ginger ale is always an option. Where I am, it’s only available at Coca-Cola Freestyle machines.

Bout time u posted I ate my food in silence yesterday… I’m jp 😂 I fw the video tho

Looks like what I get when I am back in the US at Nautilus Diner in Maryland: My turkey omelet and all the extras! Yum!!!!
"i don't like that, i don't like that at all" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loving your videos man.
looks like a lil mouse poop on the edge of the pancake! lol
I go there a good amount because I like to spend time with family and it's really good and the customer Service is great
The go to spot back in the day. I've been there probably 20+ times before 1990. Back then you had Great food.
Good vibes ❤
I appreciate Daym showing love to everyone he comes across.
Oil in the batter usually means they use the same natter for the Pancakes as the Waffles.
Too many items means most of it comes out of the freezer pre made. Cracker Barrel went there. I wont go back.
Hope these pancakes hit different Daym!
audibly said “I don’t like that at all”
I would have put butter and syrup on the waffle and then broken up small pieces of bacon and put it over the top of the waffle. That would be so good.
Love this series ❤
⚜️’Daym’ looks like you became ‘Guinea ‘pig for the event 🇮🇹
This breakfast looks FIYA🔥🔥🔥 but how ppl.mess up. Flap jacks is beyond me
🤣 their waffle batter, and pancake batter is exactly the same.
When they condense their menu, they should start by eliminating the pancakes.
Good review. But can you do your couple of reviews during the busy times to get a better idea of how the food and service are?
Finally, someone else who does over hard eggs. I can't stand runny eggs. haha.
40 dollar for two eggs and some hash browns🤣🤣
I literally never had no nasty pancakes. Facts.
Looks like basic diner food. Not horrible and most of the 1 star reviews were based on customer service 😔 Glad to see your service was on point
Customer service is so important!
