    We used to love Happ Inn. They have a new owner and the restaurant is not the same anymore. They are lacking help. We waited over 15 minutes for our server to approach the table. She took our drink order and disappeared! We finally got our drinks 15 minutes later. Once we received our food, she disappeared again. The menu has been updated, the prices have gone up and the menu says there is a 3.5% surcharge now which will be taken off if requested (the charge was not put on our bill). We used to love it here. No more. We won't be back. So sad.

    I think they forgot the service our food. There were four of us. One person ordered a salad and the other three ordered a medium hamburger. Which came an hour after the waiter took our order. We should have returned it, but the waiter just looks so busy we said forget it. Afterwards we discussed how we didn't really get our money's worth. They're supposed to serve us we're not supposed to make them happy cuz they're busy. Very disappointed

    The food took 45 minutes to come out. The server never really checked on us. We asked for more water and never got it
