Where to eat????

 I went to The Villages this morning for breakfast at the Golden Coral... UNTIL... they refused a kids portion for a gastric bypass patient.  I ended up walking out because I felt the woman was so rude about it.  I called back to talk to the manager and he said the owner doesn't support gastric bypass patients and their "smaller portions".   I told him to let his owner know that he just lost two customers - permanently - due to his lack of understanding.  I honestly doubt that will make a big difference to them, but I got to thinking about it and found it upsetting.  That was the first place I have been that refused a smaller portion even with the card.  

Where have you been to eat out at a restaurant where were you allowed to use the smaller portions - OR - are there any places *****fused you as I was refused today?

I ended up taking my money to IHOP which quickly allowed me to use the Senior or Kids portion for my choices.  Turned out, I couldn't eat much at all this morning - only about 1 oz of food and I was hurting.  I would have been so upset to spend over 9 bucks at GC and eat so little.  I spent 4.99 at IHOP and was very pleased (and got to bring home leftovers of over half my portion).

So what are your experiences?

We don't even try for smaller portions at most places.  My hubby and daughter have both had surgery also so between the 3 of us we can usually agree on something to share.  We just bring home the leftovers and eat on them a few days. I loved when Chilis had their small portion entrees several months ago.  We love wings and Gators Dockside has a 5 wing special (grilled) that is always good.

today was my first day eating out and I just got an ala carte crab cake lol. One little crab cake and I couldnt even eat it all. Amazing
