My family and I recently had lunch at the Front Porch Cafe. I was concerned when I saw that there was no parking since I was driving with my disabled mother. We had to park illegally & I helped my mother out of the car and up the stairs, since there was no handicapped access. I left to park the car & my sister with 2 toddlers, a 3 month old & my invalid mother, struggled with the broken front door as an employee & manager stood there & watched. So much for Southern hospitality!\r

As I entered the building, my nose was assaulted with the smell of must & mold. The interior was charming, but not well maintained. The whole place could have used a good cleaning. I was ridiculed by our waiter when I asked what was in the squash cassarole. I ordered a BLT, which was small & mediocre & I found what looked like a dog hair on my plate. I asked the other 6 people in our party thought of their food & nobody was very enthusiastic.The one bright spot was the pineapple cheese salad, which was delicious!\r

After we had ordered, we informed our waiter that we had a coupon from our Entertainment 2006 book & he told us to let the manager know when we paid. When we went to pay, she rudely informed us that our coupon would not be honored because we had not told the server before we had ordered. When asked why, she informed us that it was the ""IRS rules"". She had a bad additude & seemed to take pleasure in denying our coupon.\r
