| - Gino's is exactly "Meh. I've experienced better." Husband and I showed up late on a Friday, hungry for someplace new. There were several people playing darts, a few guys playing cards at a table, and a couple other tables of diners. We were greeted promptly and the waitress took our drink orders while we skimmed the menu. The menu is quite extensive, and I had trouble deciding what to order...it all sounded so good! I finally decided on Gino's Grilled Cheesie (grilled cheese+bacon+ham+grilled onions+grilled tomatoes) and husband chose the Blazing Saddles burger (chili & cheddar). Both with fries and a pickle spear. Our order took forever to be prepared. After waiting a while, the waitress refilled our drinks and explained that there were 2 delivery orders ahead of ours. That was okay, but didn't help the hunger any! I enjoyed my sandwich in all it's ooey gooey crunchy salty cheesey yumminess. Husband was not happy with his burger. The "homestyle butt kicken' chili" was a disappointment by lacking any good flavor; although he said the burger patty itself was good. Also, the fries were pretty horrible. They looked dark, sad and soggy, and tasted just as bad. The overall vibe of the place was good, and I liked my sandwich, so we may return, but with different choices. The menu is huge, so I am optimistic that there are some other tasty finds.
