Anyway, one night, the general manager and another business "executive" sit down in my station to have dinner. I could see they were talking business, had papers spread out on the table, etc. So as not to be a distraction to these "important" businessmen, I didn't go into the whole spiel I usually did like with regular customers. I didn't feel the need to describe in detail each artery-clogging topping we had available for their baked potato.

So at the end of the meal, the general manager meets with me and goes over a list of things I did "wrong" while serving them. (you think I have a bit of a temper today, back then the beast had no leash). I suppressed my anger somehow and let that f*cking douchebag do his little critique.

I quit the next day. F*ck that a-hole. So today, I'm a successful all-around great person.... and that prick is still scraping food off of dirty plates somewhere....(at least that's what I tell myself)

Sorry to hijack the thread. I hope the new and improved ATC does well.

Back in the day, is use to be a fun place to go to and have a few drinks and dance.
Do you know if ATC is going to have music again on the weekends?

Thanks for the ATC info - we didn't even know! We moved here a few years ago & always loved it! Have a great day!

I've eaten here only twice before, and it's been at least 2 or 3 years since that time! But their food was always VERY delicious, and the "help" was good, too.

I'm glad to hear that it's back and open again! I'll have to check it out when my wallet feels heavy....

ATC was an easy hook-up joint back in the 90's..."meat market", I believe was the term...

Zip and I went there when it first re-opened and it was great. Everything was fantastic with the exception of Zippy burning the hell out of his mouth on his twice baked potato. We even had dessert; I left there feeling WAY stuffed.

We give it 4 stars (like our opinion matters...)

I'm not sure if the nightclub is open or not; if it is, maybe a future TD meeting spot?

I'm curious if it's under the same management or someone different?

Also, what are the prices compared to before? The same? Less/more expensive?

This place is closed again and has been closed for over a month.

I tried to eat there when they were open on their limited days open but never got the chance.
