| - I've not been making good choices lately about where to dine. I have been dying to go to Sucker Punch since they announced the resturant. I figured the location would be great and the old Ruby Tuesday's would be a clean slate for them to build a really cool restaurant out of.
Boy, was I wrong. Having been in that Ruby Tuesday before, it was obvious they put a coat of paint on it, recovered the booths, and put a minimal amount of their own very repetitive art. Suffice to say, the restaurant looks like shit. It's not cool and divey like a diner should be, and it's not pretty and upscale either, it's just like someone put lipstick on a pig and called it a day. I was actually almost at the point of wanting to walk out. The way they decorated this place and the lack of effort to build out the restaurant screamed that my meal was going to be terrible.
I ordered the Denver Omelette and my girlfriend ordered a cheeseburger. We both commented on the lack of selection on the menu. You can have either traditional breakfasts, omeletts, burgers, or three different entrees. I think I counted 11 selections on the menu.
The food here is TERRIBLE.
My omelette was a big soaking pile of grease, with terrible quality ingredients. I swear this is true.... I've had better omeletts at IHOP and Denny's. The hash browns were average to good, but then again they were hash browns. Biscuits, terrible, and they didn't bring me honey or butter or anything. The burger looked very bad too. The shape of the burger was about 2 inches tall and 3 inches wide. There was so much bun outside of the burger. It just was not made properly. They definitely fucked up something as easy as a hamburger ordered medium that was dry as a bone and a gross dark gray color.
Our server was nice, and that's about the only saving grace, but she was terribly inexperienced and didn't properly bring our meal, condiments, or drinks. I understand this place just opened, but the inside of the restaurant is an absolute joke and the menu is bad. I don't think those are two things that are going to just improve over time. The service and food quality both can improve, but they will have to a lot in order for it to survive, because right now this place is an abortion.
