| - Just went there for dinner tonight, a Saturday about 6:30pm (they close at 8pm). I had the reuben sandwich and my wife had a hamburger. My reuben was very tasty and tender, and my wife described her hamburger as decent. Her main complaint was that the bun tasted like it was probably thawed from frozen. Service was good and friendly from the youngish male waiter, but considering that only 3 tables were occupied, it shouldn't have been too difficult to provide good service.
I would give the place four stars if all that mattered was the food. Unfortunately, the decor in the place is horrific. The space is in a strip center, so layout is just a giant square. Unfortunately, they have done absolutely nothing to create any atmosphere or separate areas of the restaurant. It's just a big, wide open space.
The tables and booths are cheap and old, and tattered. The carpet is busy, old and gross. The front windows are covered with crappy, disheveled cheap metal blinds. Along the walls are the most hideous pieces of "art" ever displayed. The wooden parts of the furniture (booth bases, counter service, hostess station at the front) are all made of that old, crappy dark brown wood laminate. There are pieces of paper taped to walls near the kitchen and near the entrance. Each corner of the interior has an old tube television propped up in the corner, with terrible picture quality and no sound - this just adds to the depressing atmosphere.
Like I said, we found the food perfectly acceptable, and the service attentive. But, we will never go there as long as the interior looks as it does now - too depressing.
