Pioneer Pub and Grub

My husband and I had a wonderful meal here. Staff was attentive. Even the guy doing "light maintenance" was nice when we walked in.

Came through Wild Rose on a work detail and stopped here for lunch. I would like to preface this by saying that I have waitressed and bartended for 10 years from highschool through college and even into my full time career. There was a lack of professionalism with our server as well as a lack of urgency, which for such a slow lunch was not justified, and we were in uniform, which to me when serving always meant that you be that much more diligent and conscious of time, but she seemed to have no care in the world. We were greeted right away and the atmosphere was inviting, we enjoyed looking at all the mounts as we were waiting for our server; we were one of two tables, a few people at the bar, a slow Monday lunch. Menus were handed out as soon as we sat and a drink order was taken. Our server came back with our waters and said a new pot of coffee was brewing just for us, great! She then gave us time with the menus, too much time, and we could see that she was hanging behind the bar a lot talking, and all this while there sat the fresh pot of coffee on the warmer. Once she came to take our order, she came without coffee and noted out loud that she had forgotten. Our soup came out (a different one than we had ordered because according to her "the gabby one at the bar took the last of it"), again after waiting quite some time, still no coffee, and she had walked past the coffee pot many times. Wraps came out again awhile later, we were asked if we needed anything else and said no, because at this point we had had our soup and now had sandwiches, the thought of enjoying some hot coffee was no longer intriguing so we didn't mention the missing coffee. We were almost done eating our sandwiches when our server asked from across the room, with a rag and table cleaner in her hand, how everything was - if she would have came over she would have seen we needed more water and were almost finished eating. Then there we sat ready for boxes looking around to see where our server was but again she was busy talking behind the bar. Boxes and a single bill then came, we asked for the bill to be split and the coffee to not be charged, she then asked us why we didn't speak up and remind her she had again forgotten the coffee and proceeded to call us "silly girls." I left a bit disappointed and didn't tip how I usually do. The food was good and the place is quite neat, it's somewhere I'd come back to but not if that's the standard of service and professionalism.
