The worst waiter in Seattle
December 8, 2024 2:14 PM Subscribe
Cafe Minnie's [was] widely considered to have the worst service in Seattle, even winning that category one year in a Seattle Weekly readers' poll. When I worked there for a six month period in 1995, I was the target of more customer complaints than any other server. Thus my claim to have been the worst waiter in Seattle.

minnies was indeed terrible, only redeemed by being cheap and open 24hr (13 coins was pricey). its block was redeveloped many years ago, and there is still nothing in its former space. part of me blames this on residual bad vibes.

Oh lord, I think this is where a friend and I ended up a thousand years ago! We ordered something like two cups of coffee and a scone, and none of it showed up for at least an hour.

Some friends & I visited Minnie's once back when it was supposedly in its heyday. Their shall we say less-than-stellar Yelp reviews say it all. We walked right back out without ordering, which said a lot at 2am when our dining options were... limited.
The Hurricane, a few blocks away, was a divey little dump with a trail of grease emanating from the kitchen, mostly populated by 15-year-old runaways, but it felt like fine dining in comparison to Minnie's.

Loved reading this and loved the blog, which was new to me and reminded me of the good old days of suck.com, when the internet was still small enough that you had to skewer each other cleverly and anonymously.
