Topic:  Miami Shows True Class in Athens - Very Sad! Author Message WishIWasAtLuckys General User Member Since: 7/31/2014 Post Count: 160 Status: Offline     Miami Shows True Class in Athens - Very Sad!    Posted: 11/3/2017 12:57:03 PM  I was tagged in a post on Facebook by a friend because they knew I am a Bobcat fan and was at the big win on Tuesday: "I have to say I am very disappointed in the Miami RedHawks Football organization. The hard working staff at Papa Johns in Athens made and delivered 100 pizzas for the team. Unfortunately they chose Not to tip the delivery guy on a $700 order. Please remember that this is how people support themselves and help pay their way through college. I couldn’t be more disappointed in the total lack of respect shown towards hard working students. Please remember in the future to tip your drivers especially on an order this large! From a very disappointed parent!" For a school that acts like they are the rich, prep school, public ivy of Ohio they really do show their class. SAD!

You can do that with at least one pizza place here in town when you order online.

You tip your driver. Period.

I've had nothing but disdain for Papa John since he told his workers he would have to fire some if Obamacare passed a few years ago. He's an arse. As for Fiami not tipping, they suck. We will get by.

But if you are the only pony in a one horse town, you can get away with those prices. You're a bit off base I'm afraid. Just dined at Casa. Two of us - total bill was $78.70. Two entrees with enough left over for lunch tomorrow, two salads, a shared appetizer and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. That's pretty darn cheap in my book. Portions are huge especially if you get a number 1 or 4. As for quality, I'll put their consistency of quality up against any other restaurant in town.

It's vaguely Mexican inspired locally sourced hippy-ish food. There's a difference! I happen to like the place and have no issue with the price/value/quality equation, but I do think that most people who don't care for it are expecting actual Mexican food when they go there. It's not, for better or worse.

It's not, for better or worse. Bingo! It has "Mexican food" labels/names but the food is far from Mexican. It is very popular. My guess is that they did between 250 and 300 covers in the restaurant last night and half to two thirds that in the Bodega. When we left at 8, the wait was still over an hour and every table was full.

Brought them to dinner at Casa and when the food was served, they were a bit shocked to see what was in the menu was not what was on the plate, ie. "it said quesadilla, but this is not what we call a quesadilla in Austin (or something to that effect). They enjoyed the dinner but both said it was unlike any 'Mexican' place they had been to. I told them that my take was Hippie Southwestern USA with Mexican Undertones. They both told me they would be going back to Texas and telling everyone in their company about the very interesting restaurant they had visited.

Casa is not Mexican. Trust me. It is not even close to food that you would find in Mexico, let alone El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, or any other Central American country. You might as well call Taco Bell Mexican food. There is also a big difference between "Mexican" food that is served in Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. For God's Sake, New Mexico puts green chili in virtually everything, except if you ask specifically for just red. (For those who like both, "Christmas" is the word.) Casa is merely a well-intended "hippie-poser" hang out that knows about as much about Mexican food as a majority of those living in Russia. Also, please do not confuse Mexican food with the wonderful cuisine of Brazil, Cuba, and Argentina. As for Miami not tipping: "Surprised?!?!" Just one more good reason to hate Miami. No wonder they lost, Pizza isn't exactly the most healthy food for athletes.

I just don't get it. I don't hate it, but I don't like it. I'd say the service is poor, the food mediocre, and all of it is not worth the wait. My daughters love it. My son and wife tolerate it. It's basically a hippie cult kind of place. Since I'm neither a cultist nor a hippie, I avoid it as much as possible.

Been to Casa maybe 3 times and it's been at least 10 years since my last visit. Service was really, really bad on each occasion and food nothing that great that would warrant the wait. Since I don't live in Athens I have other priorities when I return, so I can confidently say I'd never go back.
