Review content:
I was at Phat Bites just today. This place is nasty, unclean and unfriendly. It?s almost like the new employees there don?t want any business. This is the 3rd time in the past 2 months I?ve been there and I have never even been acknowledged by a certain bleached-blonde, tatted up 20?s-something girl behind the counter who looks at me with rolled eyes like I?m a nuisance for walking in and interrupting her 6 hour break. BTW, I don?t know their hours from way back in Phat Bite days of yore, but they close at 3PM now on weekdays, not 8PM as listed. I show up no later than 1:30pm when I visit and I get looks like I?m so rude for keeping them from closing shop early. My 1st visit there, which was at the beginning of this year, I had a broccoli salad and it was rotten?literally?not kept at proper temperatures. Every single time I?ve been there, they tell me they?re ?out of coffee? or out of something I?ve ordered. Then I ask for something else each time, and so far 3 employees, each on separate occasions, have told me they have no idea how to make my 2nd choice. Oh, and apparently they rig the internet so you can?t access it after 1:30 or so. And I still tip 30% for some reason. Oh, and I tried to leave today at 2:40pm and I had been locked in. The doors were apparently locked 30 minutes prior to closing. When the older lady (40 to 50-ish) let me out, I politely asked what time they close, knowing full and well the answer is ?3pm? and it was only 2:40. Donelson is in dire need of a decent coffee shop, at the least; it is clear Phat Bites isn?t it and has no intention of trying to be it.
Pros: If you're a masochist who likes being treated like garbage and served spoiled food, go to Phat Bites!
Cons: spoiled food, lousy service, filthy restaurant, rude employees, no internet, bad vibes
