Stopped for a late lunch today. Initially I expressed some interest in the open face turkey plate, but upon finding out it was luncheon meat turkey, I did a quick pivot and got the dinner special, meatloaf as did the lady.
She was caffeine purging today so water for her, I got iced tea, (brewed.)
The meatloaf had a nice glaze that had at some point in time been crisp, but the gravy poured atop the dish had sogged the crisp out of it. It was reasonably flavorful, the gravy struck one as a Durkee powdered variety in origin, but was tolerable. The mashed potatoes were either real or excellent reconstituted flakes, and the "California" vegetable medley that every restaurant on the planet imaginitively serves was just as expected but a bit overcooked.
Service was quite good and cheerful.
The best part was the bill.
With tax it came to a nice round $17.00!!!
And I thought 1985 had come and gone!!!
When your wallet needs a friend and your tummy needs a meal, this is a grand place to go!!!!
