This restaurant bill was hard to stomach!

An 87-year-old grandmother and six of her elderly friends were appalled when their waitress dropped a check labeling their table “Old bitches” at an upstate restaurant.

The seniors had been lunching at the casual cafe Deacon Blues in Watervliet, near Albany, on June 27 when the food fight flared up, according to a copy of the bill posted on Facebook.

“My 87-year-old Mimi and her friends went to Deacon Blues for lunch — a place they’ve been to many times. But this time, they were completely disrespected. When the bill came, the receipt labeled their table as ‘Old b*tches,’” Keira DiNuzzo, one of the women’s granddaughters, fumed on Facebook. 

“This is how you treat elderly women — loyal customers?” she wrote. “Deacon Blues, you owe them an apology.”

The group of seven ordered $12.50 worth of food, including a BLT sandwich and coffee, during the Friday lunch rush at 1:30 p.m. — one indication why the server, identified as Monica, may have been miffed, according to the check.

The waitress first clashed with the elderly gals when she learned that three people in the group couldn’t make it, prompting her to allegedly snap, “Well, it would be nice to let me know in the future,” according to DiNuzzo.

When the seniors sent back a water with “something black floating” in it, the server allegedly “responded with rudeness and no concern whatsoever,” according to DiNuzzo.

One of the restaurant’s owners, Helen Wilkinson, apologized in a comment under DiNuzzo’s post.

“We at Deacon Blues profusely apologize for the actions of our employees. Please do not think we condone this behavior toward our customers,” she wrote. 

“Our customer base consists of many loyal senior customers who have made our business grow and have the utmost respect for them.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if the server would face consequences or get additional training. 

Owners of the restaurant didn’t immediately return a request for comment from The Post.
