| - What did I just eat?
I'm not 100 percent sure. I've been all over America and I've had sausage gravy over biscuits just about everywhere. I've been down South and had amazing sausage gravy. I had really, really good sausage gravy at a Motel 6 in Custer, South Dakota (no lie!). I've had passable sausage gravy and biscuits all over this great land of ours...but what I just ate at the Dairyland Family Restaurant comes nowhere close to being sausage gravy and biscuits.
The gravy itself was passable as gravy. Lifeless and sad, but gravy. The biscuit chunks in the gravy was where things start to go awry. They were all uniform in size and shape (warning!) and they tasted not like sausage, but more like something that was killed out behind the dumpster last night. Maybe it was raccoon sausage.
The biscuits themselves are where the whole train truly derails. They actually served that slop over freakin' Pillsbury, out-of-the-can, cook 'em yourself at home biscuits! That, my friends, is unforgivable. If I want that crap, I'll stay home and cook it myself.
On the plus side, the service was good. The eggs were fine. And the Pepsi I drank was sweet and perfectly carbonated.
The decor of the place looked straight out of 1985 and desperately needs some updating.
The price would be reasonable--if they had given me decent food. At the price I paid for what they gave me, I feel a tad overcharged.
I'm not going back. Madison is a big town. You can do much, much better.
