I've eaten at Pete's University Park Cafe a bunch of times and it's been good, cheap food served up fast, occasionally with attitude (which in a diner of that sort kind of comes with the territory and isn't entirely unwelcome). However today, I went with a friend for lunch and while I again enjoyed the food (the fries are awesome!), the overall experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I completely understand wanting to move tables quickly when there's a big line out the door (as there often is for breakfast/brunch on the weekends), but REALLY, do you want to kick your patrons out when there's NO wait and there are vacant tables available for the next few people that come in (and claim your manager is 'yelling' at you to turn the table as the excuse to essentially kick out your patrons)? Apparently you do if you're a waitress...it must be that you want to get another tip and your section is only so big. (and no, we weren't in there that long - less than an hour). Well, guess what lady? There's a lot of other places to get breakfast and lunch. And I would bet that not all that many of your college student patrons tip 20% +. Shame on you, Pete's and shame on your waitstaff.
Pros: Good, dependable, inexpensive eats
Cons: Rushed out - even when not busy
