| - Was the entrance to this restaurant a time machine? Cause I could've sworn I went back in time well over 50 years! There was a young Barry Gibb (unshaven, and I didn't see that majestic mane!) singing on the telly and a burst of (basically) Retro as we strode towards our seats. Color after color, flowers, peace signs, framed posters and old LP covers pasted all over the walls.
My galpal and I were chuckling at this one vintage meme poster that said 'I haven't had my coffee yet. Don't make me kill you', seeing as we're coffee lovers. Individual tables had either a choice of old card games, old magazines (they even had archie comics!) and board games for the kids. There's really nothing a family could say no to over here. And when you enter the bathroom, there's a life-size figure of Elvis Presley staring at you! (I'm not quite sure if that's a good thing, but it sure made the whole experience way more interesting)
I could talk about the restaurant's fascinating decor/designs all day but it would probably be wise to move on to the food. This is where my reason for a 4 star (and not 5) comes in. The presentations were neat but the food quality itself didn't blow us away. It could've also been our food choice, which was Nacho Chips for appetizers and we shared a Peanut Butter, Bacon, Fried Egg Burger with french fries and cole slaw. For the most part, the burger was a little bland for us. I found myself lathering my fries with a lot of ketchup to give it more taste. My guess is that the peanut butter may have hindered the burger's full potential flavor, sadly enough. Our server was really nice nonetheless and the manager was really sweet.
And I, being someone who feels like she was born in the wrong era, found myself humming along with the songs. Beatles, Peter Paul and Mary, you name it, I hummed it! And it was also a great way to commemorate another year of Woodstock happening in New York today!
Wouldn't it be nice to experience living in the woodstock era, you say? Come to Rambo's Kitchen and live it for a day (and that rhymed!)
