text: I returned to the Joy Ride tonight after trying it out last week for the first time I received amazing service tonight The staff tonight was excellent knowledgable my tortillaless cheeseless burrito was on the house Thank younnLets rewind back to last Saturday though when I tried Joy Ride for the first time Before I agreed to meet up w my family there I called to see if Joy Ride had vegan options I was informed that they did I made my way to the restaurant We had a lovely waitress that late afternoon prior to ordering I wanted her to be aware that I was a vegan meaning I do not consume meat dairy or any animal byproducts She went over the menu w me recommended the veggie tacos she said they would be an excellent choice for me as the whitemagic sauce was vegan I was so happy to hear that I had options I had asked her what kind of tortilla comes w the tacos she said corn but They also have a flour tortilla options which also fit my dietary needs per waitress Perfect I ordered one taco as the veggies are prestir fried they were unable to accommodate to my request asking for them raw which was okay I was satisfied w my one taco I even picked some of the cucumber salad from my brother which was a nice touch to my meal as well I was pretty happynnTonight I learned that my lovely waitress was rather uneducated spoke out of her as I went back tonight on a casual date w my boyfriend who had just finished a hour day at work I wanted it to be all about him tonight I thought Joy Ride would be perfect for both of us since he has never been there before I went in decided to go w the same order I had last time since I was already reassured last Saturday of what my vegan options are For some reason something told me to make my waiter aware of my dietary restrictions prior to ordering As I told my waiters that I was vegan we had two one of them recommended the tacos for me but wo the whitemagic sauce my eyes lit up Why not is the sauce not vegan friendly He informed me that the sauce has egg whites it is NOT vegan I decided not to say anything bc it was my bfs night Our other waiter came back to see if we were ready to order I informed him I would take the tacos wo the sauce I will take it in a flour tortilla He then informed me that the tortilla contains lard Oh my Then I spoke up I informed him that when I was here last week I was misguided misinformed that I had consumed both the tortilla AND the sauce He was so apologetic I can tell he was concerned BUT like I said it was my bfs night I am done being mad for the damage that has already happened I ordered my food as I stated earlier my bf left happy that is all I wantednnAs to the Joy Ride I will not return I do NOT understand how LIGHTLY a persons dietary restrictions are taken I am a vegan by choice but I also do have an allergy to egg I even have a doctors note which is why I cannot receive a flu shot for work I do not remember how I was feeling after I left the restaurant last Saturday so I doubt that little sauce had a major impact on me Thank goodness I do not have an allergy to dairy or meat so consuming the tortilla was not harmful to me other than the fact it is against my beliefs nnThere could have been more damage should I have consumed more or maybe if I ordered more than one taco or if my allergies were more severe It is unbelievable to me how restaurants take this so lightly how staff can just so confidently answer something that they are not aware ofnnIm VERY disappointed but this is not the first time this has happened to me I also doubt it will be the last time I feel like I just want to be DONE w some of these restaurants Joy Ride I am very done w you I do thank the wonderful staff for the service TONIGHT I appreciate their knowledge as for the other girl she does not deserve her job
