| - Wow scary. Open since 1993 without ever getting remodeled. Unreal.
Anyone leaving 5 stars are friends of the family or crazy. A 2 star is being very nice and only that high because the food was 'decent' and cooked well, and it's a family business which I try to support.
I couldn't believe I hadn't heard of this place until today because I live within walking distance. It's in an odd industrial location behind Rio casino, close to Wyndham off Polaris street. Easy walk from Rio, Gold Coast or even Palms.
I was bug eyed and scared pulling up. Parking lot was dirty and damaged, homeless making camp on property, the place just looked really run down and unappealing. All the table cloths were stained and faded. Seems like a lot of cheap fixes are years overdue. (see pics)
My worries didn't end after entering. It was basically empty with only few rough looking construction workers, and one to go order a lady was waiting for. After they left I was only one in the place but service was very lacking.
Wasn't greeted walking in. I sat myself in the corner booth which I regret because the tv was loud playing commercials and news. So annoying as that tv was the sound for all 4 tv's and loud enough to here from the kitchen (on purpose I'm sure). Took several awkward minutes to be given a menu, no smiles or dialog, didn't get a 'good morning have you been here or have any questions' greeting that you'd expect from a mom and pop shop.
After ordering my food came quick on plastic plates but didn't stay warm very long. Biscuits and gravy were not hot, not toasted, bland 2 star. Ice tea was fresh brewed maybe but the water must of been bad tap because it didn't taste very good, 2 star. Eggs were cooked right and decent 3.5-4 star, chicken fried steak was the highlight but little thin and extra dark looking meat, enjoyed it 4.2 star. Bacon about right, could be thicker better but cooked well and 3.5-4 star or so.
There was no check-in or 'how was everything'at the end. I ate my whole meal without a refill. I wanted to add a soup and ask the volume to get turned down a tad but didn't get a chance.
What blew me away and know makes me change to a 1 star is the owners came in and didn't care to help. I clearly had an empty ice tea left on edge of the table, 2 dirty empty plates, and was staring over at all 3 of them obviously needing attention. They couple who looked like the owners and I'm guessing there son why does the waiting chatted the whole time ignoring me. They were saying something about cops coming last night blah blah, was already scared enough so didn't listen in much.
Overall recap is just avoid, so many better options. Food is just okay, location and service are jaw dropping and sad. Biggest thing is they could easily make it better but just don't care and collect a modest income and go home. Won't be back soon but will likely try again later since its so close and hate giving 1 star reviews to family owned and operated businesses.
Good luck if you gamble.
