Judd Asbill’s Culinary Critique
Judd Asbill / Reviewer
If Ham’s of Greensboro wanted to impress me, they got
off to a bad start.
When I walked in the door I was told the wait was going to
be 45 minutes. It turned out to be longer than that.
Upon being forced to wait to be seated for an extended
period of time, it came to my attention that the restaurant
didn’t have adequate space waiting space for diners. A
lot of people, myself included, had to stand in the aisle or
outside front doors. The only seating available was one
bench.
When I was finally called to be seated, I found myself at a
table that had yet to be cleaned. There were crumbs and
liquid on the table and seat surface that had been left over
from the previous meal.
My ears were also somewhat displeased, due to the unclear
speaker sound as music was playing in the background.
The rest of my Ham’s experience was quite pleasurable.
I ordered one of the chicken dishes off of the menu which
provided me with a large variety of choices. I found my own
meal to be rather tasty and would order it again.
The waitress who served me was very attentive . She seemed
to know exactly when my glass needed to be refilled.
Surprisingly, she checked up on me at time intervals that
were appropriate.
I finished my meal with only one small complaint. When I put
my silverware at the four o’clock position on my plate,
which signals to the waitress that I would like my dish
removed, I sat there for several minutes before it was
finally taken away.
Overall, the service was pleasing and made the atmosphere
more enjoyable.
Despite the long wait I encountered before being seated, bad
reception of the music, the initial unclean table at which I
dined, and my meal completion signal going unnoticed, the
experience left me with positive feelings towards
Ham’s.
I would recommend Ham’s Restaurant in Greensboro to
anyone who doesn’t mind waiting for a table on a busy
night and is willing to travel the long distance to
Greensboro instead of downtown Burlington.
If the chips and ranch dressing are all you want, stick to
the good ol’ Ham’s of Burlington.
