| - I don't usually write reviews on the first visit but Rambo's really impressed me. I bought a Groupon a while back and was recently reminded, via email notification, to use it . So I grabbed my BF and went for late lunch, around 3:30-ish. When we arrived, we were the only customers there and I usually like this because then we have all the server's attention. She greeted us and told us to sit anywhere we'd like. On our table were three different things: a Monopoly card game, a music trivia book, and a huge Time magazine? (didn't pay attention to that one, sorry). They also had a bunch of vintage memorabilia decorating the whole place. Posters of 60s and 70s icons with a little kitschy vibe going on.
They have a HUGE menu that offers a variety of diner food staples. I immediately wanted to try their Fish & Chips, and my BF got their Fried Mushrooms for appetizer and a single patty burger. The fried mushroom were hot and made to order. I'm emphasizing this because there have been times when appetizers weren't made fresh. Finally our entrees arrived and my order was as big as a new-born baby. I liked how crispy the batter was and the home-cut fries were pretty tasty. I like the thicker cut fries for fish n chips, it really feels authentic for me at least. I even enjoyed their tartar sauce that didn't come out of a jar. I didn't try my BF's burger, since I had a big basket of fish and potatoes to finish (but I end up bringing some home, even after giving my BF half of the fries). He seemed to enjoy his burger, so that's good.
Our server was so nice, she really made the whole experience even more pleasant. She gave us our refills right away. kept asking how we were doing even after two bigger parties arrived, and we showed her our Groupon when the bill came and she didn't show any problem receiving it (unlike some businesses that seems to regret using Groupon for some reason). They even included a survey at the end of the meal. At the bottom it asked us if we're coming back, I circled YES.
