I used to like the Tin Shed. The menu has potential but I got tired of the cooks always screwing something up, and the servers are no help in fixing the situation. The potato pancakes or french toast are usually blackened on at least one side (served burned side down as if I'm not smart enough to figure it out), or my over medium eggs come out over easy. Then when I asked the server to fix my eggs, she said "oh so you want them over hard?" First of all, a server at a breakfast restaurant should know the difference, and secondly, don't argue with the customer! I had to sit there and convince her that there was a way to cook eggs to make the whites cooked but the yolks runny. Also, I ordered a large orange juice and someone else at our table ordered a small and we found that although the glasses are different shapes, they hold the same amount of liquid. What a scam! One time we went and ordered a burger and it came on 2 pieces of white sandwich bread. The server set it down and started to walk away. We stopped him to ask what happened to the bun and he said "oh yeah, we ran out." Okaaayy...thanks for letting us know and giving us the opportunity to change the order. If you go with a group of 4 or more, don't expect everyone's food to come out at the same time. Between the cooks and the servers, this place stinks. Too bad considering the nice atmosphere and the owners' positive involvement in the community.
Pros: Atmosphere, socially conscious owners
Cons: worthless employees
