| - Okay, the family and I were driving south on Macleod Trail last Friday and were looking for a place to eat. I was in the mood for Chinese, or Vietnamese. I was quickly shot down, and told how unhealthy those choices were. Okay so we passed Ginger Beef, Rice for King, Kinjo's. I know Kinjo's is Japanese, but we had Japanese last week. My kids see Macdonald's, and say why don't we eat there. They always want to eat there. I said no way, lets pick something a little healthier.
Then we get to the traffic lights approaching Southland Dr. I see Jack Astor's. "Hey, what about Jack Astor's" ? my kids start to laugh because I say the word ass. We haven't been since this place was Fuddruckers.
I have to say the inside has changed quite a bit, since I last stepped foot into this place.We were greeted by three hostesses, then quickly seated to a booth on the back of the restaurant. I proceeded to look at the menu, and thought to myself am I getting old or what ? I can hardly make out the print on the menu. It was so dark, I could hardly make out the print. Two waitresses then came to our table and introduced themselves and wrote their names on the throw away paper lining the table. Like Montana's, the one girl's name was KT.
Since I was in the mood for some Chinese, I saw on the menu a spicy chicken dish that was accompanied with fresh veggies and steamed rice.
I know, I know, should've known better then to order a Chinese dish at a western styled restaurant, that was more burger and salad like.
The chicken, was these little cubes of chicken (like the kind you buy frozen at Co-op.) spicy, and the rice was soggy in the middle and dry around the edges. I think I got the bottom of the rice cooker. The veggies on the other hand were okay. The other items ordered was a burger, that was okay (nothing special) and yam fries and a salad. I also have to mention that my dinner was like $17.00.
I thought that was a lot for something that didn't even taste as good as a Swansons frozen T.V. dinner.
I won't be back for a LONG TIME !
When I do, I'll order something different.
In closing, I would like to add that I was surprised at the amount of families eating here.
