| - Underwhelming. This may not be the right word to describe my experience at LW's, but it's the first word that comes to mind.
My family and I came for breakfast on a fairly busy Sunday morning. The restaurant was at about 2/3 capacity at the time we arrived. There was a table of two ahead of us. Tables were visibly cleared and ready for service, but there was still a 15 minute wait. I understand staggering tables to avoid overloading the kitchen, but at the very least, we could have been sat.
After we were sat, it took a good 10 minutes for our server to stop by our table. There also seemed to be a little confusion internally about who out server was. We had two servers arrive at our table at the exact same time. One of them bowed out and we placed our drink and food orders at the same time.
The food arrived in a timely manner. Everything was hot, prepared fresh, and presented appropriately for a restaurant of this type. The overall food quality was very average and not very well seasoned. I believe this may be intentional, due to the fair amount of Sun City residents that dine here.
Chicken Fried Steak:
Average quality. Very heavy, flavorless breading. Standard frozen CFS product. The gravy lacked salt and the biscuits were average quality thaw and serve biscuits. The potatoes were a big let down for me. The cut on the potatoes was unique. They were neither a hash brown nor a country-style potato. More of a rectangle shaving of potato. Unfortunately, they were only about half cooked (still partially crunchy) and lacked any sort of seasoning.
Overall:
The service was slow and the food was mediocre. For what came out to $15.00 per person for breakfast, it was very underwhelming. I am glad to see another non-chain dining option in the NW Valley, but do not know if we will be back.
