Ordered a Cheese steak at the Perry Ga Radio Control swap meet. I went to eat right away, the bread was completely soaked in juice from the steak. Bread totally fell apart and was un-edible. Seeing the bill on my Amex. Statement just reminded me of my experience with Cox concessions. Please train your people to serve probably.

Shari, Ashley and the team are real gems. Cannot recommend them highly enough. They catered a celebration of life for my mother. The appetizers were delicious and beautifully displayed. The entire service team, including the bar back and bar tenders were terrific. Our guests were very pleased. Above and beyond the professional service and lovely presentation, Shari snd her husband touched and surprised us by presenting us with a beautiful rose bush in my mother's memory.

If I could give a zero I would. I ordered a steak burger and fries today at NHBA world championships in Perry. First, the guy looks at me like I have two heads and says nothing. Then I say again, could I get a steak burger and fries. He says -"uh, ok", takes my money ($14), and gives me old, cold fries and a cold piece of meat on a plain bun. When I open it to put ketchup on it I realize that there is no tomato, lettuce, cheese, nothing.
By the time I turn to ask him about it, he has closed the window and is locking up. He could have told me he was closing and was out of everything instead of charging me full price for food that should have been thrown away. I don't ever expect much out of concession stand food but this was over the top!
