| - First time here... and the last.
After a day of Xmas shopping, we were hungry. We spotted the diner from the road and were drawn in by large chainsaw carved wooden bear statues outside a knotty pine palace. campy and fun.....
Thats where the fun ended.
Table for two, looking for tasty grub. ME: chorizo breakfast burrito, side of has browns EXTRA crispy please. Companion: Chicken parm (one of her favs, normally) and a coke please!
What happened: Chicken parm was incinerated black, and my hash browns were albino white. She claims her "coke" was really a pepsi, and felt betrayed by the waiter. The breakfast burrito was a total disaster - rolled and cut in half, exposing a giant plug of ice cold refried beans, obviously from a can. It was clear that the chef made no effort to 1) heat the beans, 2) season the beans, or 3) spread the beans evenly along the tortilla. After some digging, I did find the chorizo, along with the eggs and jalapenos.
FORTUNATELY I recognize these things by sight, because none of them contained any flavor that might have identified them. The chicken parm was similarly bland, despite the charring of the breading. We were confused at the total lack of flavor in any of our food items; I even forgot to order w/o jalapenos, but I didn't notice until I saw them.
I really wanted to like this place, and the star is for the bears and decor. But sadly, the best part of my meal was the ketchup.
