Her lawyer, William Meehan of St. Louis, said was visiting Lambert's Cafe last September with a Bible group. Tucker claims she was hit in the eye by a "throwed roll" and suffered a detached cornea. Now she says she has impaired vision. But some are defending Lambert's saying you expect to have rolls lobbed at you.
It's advertised in the restaurant's slogan and one reason it's such a large tourist attraction. "Oh I just think that this is a great place," said Emily Moore. "It's a fun place. I don't come here that often even though I'm a native of the area and I just think it's wonderful. And it's really shocking to think that someone would actually sue Lambert's for a throwed roll. 'Cause that's what they're known for."

Lambert's general manager, Jerry Johnson, said servers never intend to hurt anyone when they throw those rolls. Johnson also said this isn't the first time someone has sought money after getting hit by an errant roll. He did say in some of those cases the restaurant's insurance paid for medical expenses.

I've been Lambert's, a real tourist trap. Nothing special about the food but the atmosphere is different. Not sure I'd recommend it except to someone with kids.
I disagree. The food is really good. They are spot on with their pitching, too, which is why I wonder about this lawsuit. These are soft rolls. I'd go there again if I was ever in the area.
Go to a water slide park, get wet.
Go to a paint ball park, get painted and hurt.
Go to a roll throwing food place, get hit by a roll.
Homer Simpson says ?
Nobody is questioning the word 'throwed' ?
Anybody heard of 'thrown' ?
As in 'Game of Throwns'
Anybody wondering what a bible group was doing actually having a fun time ?
Anybody thinking that their god actually wanted the roll to hit that person ?
I think it's great that the world is full of this stuff, makes great reading while I have my coffee.
