Don't Plan On Eating In Azle
My daughter is currently away at a resident camp with the Girl Scouts. This camp is located just outside of the town of Azle. A sleepy looking little town about an hour from us.
They have drop off and pick up times at the camp to coincide with dinner (4PM - 6PM). You think the town would take advantage of this and be ready to feed some hungry parents and / or campers (depending on whether it is drop off or pick up time).
After we dropped her off and got back to the town, we eyed a Pizza Hut. Cool, I could eat some deep dish or maybe a P'zone. We walk in and are almost immediately seated (the guy had to wipe down the table first). Then we sit there for a solid 10 minutes while we are ignored. No one even acknowledged our presence. So we decide to walk next door to the Jack-In-The-Box. Hey, at least we'll get our food sooner, right?
Wrong! We stood there at the counter for at least 5 minutes. My son even yelled, "HELLO!". It was a virtual ghost town. There was one employee making fries or something, but he didn't care that there were people waiting at the counter.
We decided that Azle wasn't ready for us or our money and headed back towards the "city". We ended up in Lake Worth and a Ci Ci's.
The Ci Ci's we usually go to is rated as one of the busiest and best in the country. In fact, there have been managers from other stores and locations checking out the one in our town to get a feel for the way to do it right.
Now, the one in Lake Worth was actually better than the one in our own town for a couple of reasons. The brownies were brought out warm with the center still gooey. You know what I mean. And the cinamin rolls were switched out even before the last few were taken from the previous pan. The pizza and salad bar were like ours, which is well cared for. I think, lastly, that, because it wasn't really busy, I enjoyed it more.
We are about to go pick my daughter up from camp and you can bet we won't try to eat in Azle, look out Lake Worth, here we come.
Keep up the good work Lake Worth, Azle has a lot to learn.
And That's What I Think.
