| - Let me preface this review for the Cafe by stating that there were a few good things to this experience. On the whole, however, Terrible's was Terrible. I guess I will start with the good, then state the bad, then finish on the ugly. I know I write a lot sometimes, but trust me, YOU NEED TO READ THE UGLY. Skim through the good and bad, but I'm posting The Ugly as a warning to the general public.
So the staff was really friendly, even if they didn't provide excellent service. Our server was over-worked and we could tell that it wasn't all her fault, I will give her that. I very much appreciated the fact that she warned us not to get the shrimp cocktail because she said it was not worth the price and that they were tiny little shrimp and you only get 5 for $14. I really appreciated her telling us that instead of letting us find out and have an even worse experience. The other guy that was helping us kept forgetting the things we asked for. But they were both friendly. Also, the bleu cheese dressing was really good, the salads were nice and fresh and yummy, the bread was wonderful and HOT, my bacon was sliced really thick which I liked, and my french toast was pretty good. We definitely never lacked any condiments. To clarify the food I'm reviewing, we ordered the sliders as appetizer, French Deuces with hashbrowns, New York Strip with fries and green beans, and salads (green for him, Caesar for me). The menu, in general, was pleasantly varied and offered lots of different things to suit any appetite.
So the bad part was the food after the salads, basically. Not only did we run out of food and water for quite some time after the salads, but then we ran out of drinks again and they did not get refilled for quite some time. All I had was water, so I know it shouldn't have taken that long for me to get a refill. When she refilled my husband's iced tea, there was no ice in it at all. My eggs were ordered over medium and they came out over easy, with the white part still runny. My hashbrowns tasted like reconstituted frozen hashbrowns that weren't completely thawed or cooked all the way through. The server did not give my husband a choice of either curly fries or regular, she just brought him regular fries, then we heard her offer curly ones to the table right next to us. So Not Cool! We would have much preferred curly fries. (Side note on the whole Fry Issue: my husband originally didn't know he was even getting any potatoes, when the server brought out his steak, she said to my husband, "You forgot to tell me what kind of potato you wanted." Uhm... since the server is supposed to ask which one the customer wants when they're ordering, I thought the thinly-veiled attitude behind that question was inappropriate. I recognized her tone very well, I'm female and have attitude but NOT while at work. In fact, she had already asked him and he had already told her he wanted fries.) The steak was cooked the right way, but the chef definitely needs a lesson in how to cut a piece of steak. The fat around the edges was just cut all wrong, basically. While I enjoyed the thick cut and taste of my bacon, it was cooked a little too long and had gotten dry before it got to the table. I like crispy dark bacon, but this had just gone a touch too far into the dry side of things. The only slider that wasn't good was the chicken one (tasted like Windex to me) but our dog loved the leftovers, so it's okay.
In fact, our dog got quite a bit of leftovers, which says a lot because usually she will be lucky to get one or two little bites from us. We like to eat :)
Aaaaaand, the ugly. This is really ugly, too. Twice during our time at Terrible's Cafe a roach crawled up the wall next to us. Once while the server was there and she acted like she didn't notice, even though my husband pointed it out to her. We thought maybe we would give them the benefit of a doubt... to quote my husband, "I'm hungry and I've eaten in worse places." I mean, we are in a desert and it is Summer, so, yes, cockroaches get bad sometimes even when you can't help it. Okay, whatever.
And now... The Ugliest of All! My husband broke a tooth on the green beans Terrible's served him. They were steamed or boiled or whatever, and were not frozen. He bit down on one and it literally broke his tooth. It completely ruined our whole meal. We had just signed up for Players Cards but didn't even stay to gamble at all, we went home quick. So they lost money right there. Hubby was in pain all night and today. We will more than likely have to pull the entire tooth, and I am not exaggerating. I mean, green beans are supposed to be chew-able with maybe a little snap, but so rubbery and overcooked that it breaks a tooth? Seriously? No way, dude.
So, yes, we had a horrible experience last night at Terrible's Cafe. It started off pretty well, we gave them the benefit of a doubt and tried to be open-minded, but ultimately we were disappointed.
