| - This unfortunately named restaurant conjures up two images for me. The first is the death of a fairly expensive gaming system, and the second is too childish for me to admit to, but when this place is suggested for lunch, I flash back to the time I did the triple atomic wings challenge at Quaker Steak. For that I apologize sincerely, but I can't control my brain, yo.
The point of that thought train is that subconsciously, I think this place already had a few marks going against it. My friend and I have been for lunch a few times since it's so close to his office, and really the biggest surprise is that nothing is good, but nothing is really bad either...it's as bland as a dry wedding. The worst offense being the "signature" chicken fingers, which tasted like neither chicken, nor fingers. It reminded me of that flavorless feast from "A Wrinkle in Time". L'Engled!
The wrap I had was alright, but this restaurant sets the bar pretty low. I'm assuming this is a chain since it looks like an amalgam of every chain restaurant I have ever been to. Little bit o' Fridays, mixed with a dose of Applebees, with just a hint of Damons thrown in. It's menu and appearance are just super dull, and really, with a thousand cool restaurants so close, this seems like a terrible misstep.
My suggestion to the Red Ring marketing department: just embrace the fact that you've named your restaurant after an inflamed butthole and make your menu all about incredibly hot food challenges. You've just been given a Christmas miracle, my friends.
