We're just average quiet people with one kid, an appetite and our own opinions.

We prefer soda with our meals instead of wine and will choose the mozzarella sticks over the escargot. We are not looking to have our chairs pulled out for us, but do like to be offered a refill on our drinks (and expect them to be free). We like coupons but are willing to pay if the food and services are warranted.

With this in mind, we would like to provide you with a LIST OF PLACES TO EAT.

1-10 Overall rating: 5

Food Taste: Tasted microwaved

Notes: In fairness the place was empty when we entered, so they may not have been in their customer groove yet. Yea, I'm sure that was it. After we ordered, we heard someone tell our waitress that the ribs would be a while but I guess she didn't want to disappoint us since she never told us this. When we received our meals; I had the ribs and my wife had ribs and chicken, the ribs were very tough, almost as if they were microwaved. I did enjoy all five of the onion rings, even though they were cold. Soon other customers began coming in, which was nice since this caused the heat to spontaneously kick on, unfortunately with the increase in customers came the difficulty in reaching our waitress. After we were able to get her attention it took about 10 minutes to get our check only the have her argue about the Entertainment coupon we were using, apparently the expiration date of "thru November 1st, 2008" was confusing to her as she insisted it had expired, you know, since today was November 1st; luckily I had a 2009 Entertainment book in the car and didn't mind using their new coupon this soon since at this point I knew I wouldn't be back.
