Banana pancakes

[Accompong]

This year the first day they were great, as expected. The next two times they were not even close, seemed like they were low on bananas and whatever else they flavor with. I was writing reviews as I visited and taking notes and such. I didn't see any point in making a deal over a off day or two. If others who visited are seeing the same decline then maybe there is something to it. I know Roy as well and talked to him each time we visited, and it wasn't worthy of a complaint, its just may not be on the list of my places for pancakes anymore. High season can be taxing as the morning crowds are quick and furious. But as we all know in JA you can have a bad meal or two and the next at the same place is amazing.

Well, "I know Roy as well" and I wouldn't hesitate to take him off to the side and let him know if his food standard is slipping in some way. That is not a "complaint". That is a "heads up" like when you tell a friend his breath stinks! Now what you have accomplished is possibly steering business away from your friend by others and maybe it won't be "on the list of my places for pancakes anymore" for yourself.

Business is tough enough in Jamaica. I realize you probably didn't mean harm but this is what having your business criticized on a public forum can do. When Roy hears of this now I am sure he will do what he can to make those banana pancakes as good as they possibly can be. That is just the type of guy Roy is. A "heads up" from a friend could have accomplished the same thing.

I hope you will give your friend another chance the next trip. No disrespect meant.

Peace and Guidance

Thanks RonMon...I thought it was possible that you reviewed the wrong place on TA as you said someone named "Keith", "runs the place"... also read a bad review where someone said the owner was drunk and smoking cigarettes - Big Roy wouldn't show up to work drunk and definitely doesn't smoke cigarettes as they claimed...and another reviewer who claimed the place was "owned by Nadia's".

Needless to say I was getting confused and thank you again for clearing up your portion. I'll let Big Roy know he seems to have some pancake issues recently.

You have me confused with the other poster. I just replied to what someone asked me I didn't criticize anyone publicly. I gave them a very good trip review and I stated in my post that could have been an off day and I didn't make a big deal about it because of that fact.

Yeah, I guess I direct quoted you for something some else posted. Sorry if I made a mistake.
