| - After standing for about 8 hours without nothing to eat at the tradeshow, we were not picky; of course this was the mistake of having to stop by the first place we see... lo and behold.... Cafe at Harrah's. I have to say that I regret this very much and I hope to never be in this situation again. And am greatfully blessed with very strong immune system.
Anyways, so my boss and I didn't waste any time to get in an empty line waiting to be seated. Of course most casinos have 2 lines, one for the diamond customers and one for the non-charitable customers like myself... It took them 20 min. to get us seated and it's not like anybody was fighting to be seated and it wasn't the most happening place to even be seen for goodness sake. when we finally got seated, the menu seems very enticing... country fried steak with mashed potatoes... salisbury steak, roasted chicken... after a long day of absolutely nothing in our stomach, this was the comfort food we both needed, not knowing what's to come!
So Sandy got the salisbury steak and the waitress stopped her before she even picked her sides to not order that. She said that everything on the menu is good to eat except the salisbury steak. That should have been a red flag to get up and run for dear life. But we were so weak there is no way in hell i could have walked out of there empty stomach after such a long wait! so basically their new recipe for the salisbury steaks contains some mystery meat and red dye. I couldn't stomach what else she was going to say so i zoned out. My boss decided to get the country fried steak and i got the roasted chicken.
Well after 30+ min. of waiting and the place is half empty, this was around 9pm by the way... the food finally came. i was overwhelmed by the size of the food. i literally got half a chicken sitting on my plate and sandy's country fried steak was the size of a belgian waffles. for those who never had belgian waffles.. let's just say... it's HUGE. we thought, wow, for the price it was pretty damn cheap...
well after waiting for so long to finally eat, i had bypassed the hunger stage and the size of the chicken really didn't sit well for me. the chicken tasted like store bought walmart rotisserie chicken... and til this day, we're still questioning sandy's country fried steak smothered in some mystery gravy.
overall, it just wasn't appetizing and the service was horrible. we had to wait so long to be seated, then be fed and waited for our water... i feel sick just thinking about it... i will never make a decision to pick a restaurant to ease the hunger on an empty stomach again.
