After talking for about 5 mins their waitress came over to ask how things were and told me I should "leave them alone and go sit with the people I came in with." What the hell! It was not her business whether I was done speaking to my friends, they were the ones that invited me to sit. So I finished talking and went back to my seat where the waitress was speaking to my friends I arrived with. She went on to say I was "a bad friend for making them wait" and that I should sit down and order something. Okay the first time she said it I laughed it off, but when she stood there and continue to ridicule me then TELL me to order something. Sorry that is not what I call service. Guess you didn't want to keep this customer! Pass on this place! Yes the food was good, but while there I ran into old friends that invited me to sit and talk for a bit.

Instead, he produces fare you'd be happy to be served were you actually in the city. Again, he could get away with the “New Orleans in a box” mentality…but he doesn’t.

Oh, come on. He could at least use some <a HREF="http://www.tonychachere.com/" rel="nofollow">Tony Chachere's</A> :) “Wayne could put out anything seasoned with cayenne pepper and call it New orleans food, so long as he had some beads on the walls of his joint.”

It is one of my all-time favorites. He also makes a delicious gumbo of the day. In all the years we've eaten there, I've never had a bad meal. If any of your readers ever visit Springfield, MA I hope they'll check out Chef Wayne's. It is reasonably priced good food. If you're lucky Wayne will come out of the kitchen, sit down at your table, and accept your offer to share one of the beers that you brought in with you since it is a BYOB restaurant.
