OZARK, Mo. A well-known Missouri restaurant, known for being the Home of Throwed Rolls, may be in some hot water for a guest who is saying she received a roll-related injury.
Lamberts Cafe, the Sikeston-based restaurant chain, which features dinner rolls being thrown across the room by servers to guests, is being sued.
The suit was filed Tuesday by a woman named Troy Tucker who claims she sustained a lacerated cornea with a vitreous detachment and all head, neck, eyes and vision were severely damaged after being hit by a dinner roll during a visit in September of 2014.
Tucker is seeking at least $25,000 to cover for her medical bills and legal fees. The restaurants carelessness and negligence as the lawsuit alleges, has already caused expenses totaling $10,000.

set to cover the occasional errant roll.

(14,449 posts)I went to a place that you threw napkins. Of course you soak them in water first. It was at a beach type place. Most fun. If you go to a place designed for this, you should not be able to sue. Hopefully this will be thrown out of court.

(22,991 posts)I eat there often, and while they will indeed fling you a roll;
1) They are very soft
2) You have to request a roll, in fact, it is sometimes difficult to get a roll server's attention
3) The "throw" is usually an underhanded toss
4) Maybe if a roll hit you just right in the eye, you may sustain an injury, but head and neck? These things are softer than Nerf balls.

She should have to experience being laughed out of court.
Maybe the judge could crumble up a copy of his judgement and toss it to her, very, very gently.
Incidently, I'm sure a lot of first timers go there specifically because they hope to see "throwed rolls." Sounds like a lot of fun.
