Today we had Bill and Marguerite out celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary (and on a side note…Bills 89th birthday).  They were out with their 2 granddaughters for lunch.  We decided to surprise them by taking care of their lunch!  They were all totally blown away.  I mentioned to Bill “what a birthday gift you got 65 years ago” pointing to Marguerite.  They were such a nice couple and we were happy to choose them today as our Pay it Forward and help them celebrate!

Welcome Home!

Tuesday night we had a party of 5 come in to celebrate the home coming of an Army Veteran from Iraq.  The mom was first to arrive and asked if we could do a birthday cake for her son as he missed his birthday over seas.  We took it one step further!  Upon completion of dinner and before presenting the check, I went over to the table with a birthday cake and a candle.  He was very surprised.  I thanked him for his service and announced that we would be taking care of the bill.  They were completely blown away.  He mentioned that T-BONES was the last restaurant food he ate before deploying and the first he has had since returning. His daughter was moved to tears and you could tell that the family had a lot of catching up to do.  I presented him with the Pay It Forward and he couldn’t stop thanking us.  Tables around them were commenting afterwards how nice the gesture was on our part.

Today we had a couple at the bar having lunch.  After hearing we were out of 3 items and finally getting something – I knew I would take care of them.  I went over to them and they said “uh oh…now what are you out of”.  I said “your tab…it’s on us!”.  They were shocked and couldn’t believe it.  They couldn’t thank me enough and were looking forward to the Red Sox game this afternoon…feel bad…as that just got cancelled.  I am sure they will find the right person to Pay it Forward to.

A WOW Kind of Night!

Tonight we had guests in, Steven and Susan and their two boys.  Steven (dad) has a gluten allergy.  They were going to order the BC Fries for an appetizer.  After explaining our concern about the potatoes being fried in the same oil as breaded chicken, fish, onion rings, etc.  I offered to bake the potato medallions but in the end  he decided that he just wouldn’t eat any – but to still get them for the family.  I gave him the first WOW when I brought out the regular BC Fries for the family along with a 1/2 order of baked BC Fries just for him.  He was quite thrilled.  I took it one step forward with another WOW and took care of the appetizer and finally the third WOW – I gave them a $50 gift certificate to come back again real soon.  He was shocked he said “What did I/we do to deserve this??”.  He and his wife were very appreciative as were the kids who took the GC and were fighting over it.  Look forward to seeing them again!

Tonight I was able to visit with a good friend of mine from NHS!  Hadn’t seen him in while.  He was out with his family celebrating his son’s birthday.  Come to find out his son has quite the interest with Gettysburg just as I do.  Picked up their dinners and handed his son the PIF.  They were really excited to be chosen and will be coming back soon to let me know who they chose to PIF.

Oldie but Goodie!

Janine and Agon are quite the regulars here in Hudson.  They are here at least 3 times a week either just the two of them – or with another couple.  I always enjoy going back and forth with them when they are here and tonight I thought I would take care of them.  They were thrilled!  Janine gave me the biggest hug and you could tell Agon was deeply touched.  I am sure I will see them soon and look forward to hear who they PIF too!

Back Again!

Melanie and her family frequent our restaurant regularly for takeout – sometimes 3 times a week!  Tonight was no different.  Decided to pick up the tab for them and thanked them for being such loyal guests.

Voters!

Tonight we had a couple that had just come in from voting in today’s elections.  They commented to their server that they waited over an hour to vote.  I was able to deliver the food – and surprised them by picking up their tab.  They were both thrilled.  Thanked me and look forward to PIF in the next few days.

Free Desserts

Tonight I had a couple of my high school classmates come in with their families.  Rob Kime has a daughter who he teases just like I do at home.  To have some fun I bought the (3) desserts that the kids were having and gave the PIF to his oldest daughter.  She was thrilled and the parents loved the idea of what we are doing.

Tonight I took care of Sandy who is one of our regular guests who usually comes in with her husband and her dog (service dog).  Unfortunately her dog passed away just a couple of days ago and her husband is away with family in S.C.  We took care of her meal and she was brought to tears.  She (her dog) was her best friend for the last 10 years.
