MOTHER HUBBARD'S - TUCSON, AZ

This is the second time i've eaten at this restaurant and it will be the last. The food is just not that good even with a new owner and new menu items.

when chris and i first got there, it was a total disaster; one waitress running around with 'deer in the headlights' panic eyes and sweat shimmering on her face. She was doing everything - taking orders, giving change, cleaning tables (most of which were laden with dishes left over from the breakfast rush) and delivering food.

I finally cleaned off the least piled-upon table and Chris and I sat down. after about 10 minutes another waitress showed up and service got back to normal.

I had scrambled eggs and 2 sausage patties and home fries - chris ate the toast which also came with the entree. The portions are big and the prices are  fairly reasonable but everything is tasteless even after i added salt. Recent ads for the restaurant said they had several varieties of "special" waffles and so i ordered the cornbread honey cinnamon. I could taste the grit of the cornbread but not the honey or cinnamon. It wasn't even as good as the waffles at breakfast bars in motels from that ingenious machine. In fact, those waffles are an 8 compared to the 4 of this one.

And the waffle was barely warm; just enough to melt the butter in tiny pools and lakes and ponds in the waffle crevices. I asked for warm maple syrup which i think was just dark corn syrup and it came in a squeeze bottle like ketchup or mustard.

The bathroom is small, dark, hot and filthy. I tried not to look around as i was sitting.
