Blacks: Beware of Stoney River. Good Food; Racist Service

Blacks beware of Stoney River. On Juneteenth 2021, my experience at Stoney River was one for the books.

On Juneteenth, I witnessed the Managers skip every black table and only talk to tables with white people. I have been to Stoney River at least 15 times over the course of 3 years and have seen this manager come to our table in the beginning. But lately, the last 5 times, he hasn’t come by at all.

On Juneteenth, my food came late, only my food and I was the only noticeable black person at the table. My server, bless her heart, made a mistake and another server cleaned up the mistake and apologized with “Thank you for your patience.” I was struck by the statement. Standard practice is the General Manager comes by and says “is everything alright?” The non-black, skinned head manager never came by but looked directly at my face and skipped our table. In fact, he skipped every table with a black person and only spoke to the fellow non-black staff, another non-black manager, and non-black person tables. There were only two tables with white people and 4 with blacks. I dare him to deny this since we come there way too often (coffee steak medium) to lie. I want him fired for discrimination. You ruined my Father’s Day celebration with my daughter.
