| - Was really pumped to find out that the location was so close to my best friend's apartment on the day we watched "You Gotta Eat Here" on FoodNetwork. We didn't even wait until the end of the segmentm, we immediately got on our coats and were out the door.
For a newish location (all I know is the google maps photo is of Lolo Restuarant or something, not Uncle Bettys) the place kind of seemed run down, as I noticed paint chipping off the walls. But no matter, all I care about is good food in the end. My BF and I were really pumped about the desserts, so we decided to just share an entree. Holy over-priced, especially for a diner - 14 bucks for a grilled mac and cheese sandwich and fries (think McDonald's fries, but overcooked)! Meatloaf in the grilled cheese was delicious, but the mac and cheese was dry, and in the end I ended up using a lot of ketchup to moisten it up.
Service here, as others have mentioned, is very lacklustre. A grilled cheese took more than 25 minutes to come out. Water that they gave us tasted/smelt mildly of cleaning fluid. When it was finally time for dessert, I choose the Twink Eh Sundae (homemade chocolate twinke with ice cream). The menu doesn't list the ice cream flavours, so when I asked "What flavours do you have", the waiter's response was "There's 16, I'm too lazy to list them". I kind of laughed but after a few seconds of the waiter just staring at me in silience, I realized he had no intentions of even making a suggestion or hinting at flavours. In the end I asked 'well......do you have Raspberry, or any fruit flavours?". His answer was "Raspberry it is" and walked away. Really guys?
The only saving grace of this place is that the ice cream is fabulous. The Twink-eh which I was really excited about after seeing how it was made on TV was very dry and just tasted like a betty crocker cake you'd make out of a box.
Won't be back again unless it's to pop by in the summer to get a scoop of ice cream to go.
