Shari's Cafe and Pies

Food was decent, at least what I ordered. My partner’s food was nasty but not the cook’s fault. Whoever came up with their summer grilled chicken sandwich apparently has no taste buds. Staff was scattered some seemed to be pulling their own weight and the weight of others while they chatted. No order to anything, seemed chaotic. Our waitress’ fingernails and hands were incredibly dirty and it did not look like it was from normal work things and it made me not want to finish my food. I told myself “it’s ok she’s just serving it, not preparing it.” While waiting 10 min at the counter to pay (I was the only one at the counter there wasn’t a line) I witnessed my waitress getting a piece of pie for someone WITH HER BARE DIRTY HANDS. And yes, I mean she put her hands directly on that persons pie to take it off the pie server. The whole piece! I will never eat at this particular Shari’s again.

Management needs to give its staff the support it needs, rather than maximize their own bottom line by putting the burden of running the restaurant on their beleaguered workers. Our server couldn't be nicer. Unfortunately the deep fryer was out of service and I wasn't able to get my first choice. The kitchen was training and the egg of my Benedict was very nicely poached. The sauce was off and the (whole wheat) muffin was not toasted. Clearly the kitchen has talent but I'd have to imagine their details are suffering because of the aforementioned staffing issue. Things were made right. I was offered a complimentary slice of pie but I left the building hungry. To the franchise owner, please hire more people. Please pay them fairly. Please treat them with dignity. If you don't, someone else will.

Nice to see they are 24 hours again because the other option would have been Denny's near mall 205.... Which is kinda sketchy after midnight. Food was as good as I remembered. Our waitress was fantastic and super friendly, as well as being funny. The atmosphere at 3 am was definitely more relaxed than I was expecting, which is fine by me. Thanks to my weird schedule, it's hard to find a good meal besides fast food this late. They will always be a good pick, especially for breakfast. I recommend this location due to the proximity of the airport and the freeway, and being a short drive from where I live.

I had the Breakfast Sampler which was better than Denny’s by a long shot. The prices ate high like most restaurants post Covid but they served much larger portions. The coffee is excellent and the service was great.
