| - The HORROR. The HORROR.
What happened? This used to be a good place to eat.
My wife and I stopped in tonight for dinner. Short wait, no big deal.
Our waitress came over and took our drink order (two glasses of water).
We both ordered the turkey with dressing. I had mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans.
My wife had mac and cheese and fried okra.
As an appetizer we ordered the fried pickles.
First, the water tasted like mold. This is usually the result of a dirty filter in the ice machine.
Second, the fried pickles where not too great. Now I have had an issue with fried pickles with many restaurants in the Charlotte area, so I did not put very much weight on this one dish.
We moved on to the entrée. This is where the nightmare begins. If they just brought me the turkey with nothing else I would have been all right. Unfortunately it came with stuffing made out of bread, cranberries, cinnamon, apples, and what I can only assume was an old inner tube. The entire concoction was drenched in a gravy that was laced with red peeper, some kind of green flecks, and more red pepper. I have never gotten heartburn from turkey and dressing before, but I guess there is first time for everything. The mashed potatoes where also slathered with this "Death Gravy" so they did not make the grade as well.
The waitress wanted to get something else for me and I ordered a cheese burger as a consolation but, by the time I had gotten it the stomach pains had become unbearable, so we decided to cut our losses and pay the bill. The manager rang us up, but was very rude to us. It was if he was blaming me for not eating his crappy food.
