| - Perhaps something has drastically changed in the last month, but anyone who rated this place 5 stars was either paid a very large sum of money or lacks serious taste - likely a combination of both.
In the words of the late, great, Rick James, "I wish I had two more hands so I could give this restaurant four thumbs down!"
It all began with a trip to the neighboring Vietnamese restaurant which a friend noted had decent food. Of course, this place was randomly closed on a Wednesday in the summer. I am not in tune with Vietnamese culture, but I can only imagine that something more important than running your business is happening on a Wednesday, in the summer, in order to be closed. We decide to wander over to Gus's Pizza, complete with the unnecessary "s". We take our seats right around noon. About five minutes later we are asked if we want a soda, no option for Iced Tea or water at the time, just simply, soda. Two Iced Tea's, a Coke, and a "Cherry" Coke later, we decide to order appetizers. It's roughly 12:19pm when we place our order as follows:
-One 10 piece order of 'hot' wings
-One Special (all you can eat pizza, single topping slices, $4.95)
-One Fire Burger, Medium, with Fries.
-One Fire Burger, Medium, with Onion Rings.
-One Chicken Gyro, with Fries.
Ten minutes pass before the waitress informs us that they only have one patty and two burger orders. I forfeit my burger and choose the Beef Gyro. Five minutes later, I hear an "Oh shit" in the background. The waitress returns informing me there is not any beef for the beef gyro and suggests a chicken gyro, I pass.
12:40pm
-First drink refill received
12:49pm
-Hot wings order received
12:54pm
-One Fire Burger Received
12:58pm
-Chicken Gyro Received
-Side of Onion Rings Received
1:03pm
-Magically, some beef gyro meat was found. My gyro was delivered and I was informed that I would not be charged for the gyro or onion rings.
1:07pm
-Two slices, one pepperoni, one sausage, received.
I'll point out a couple of things if they weren't already obvious.
A pizza joint, which has pizza in the title of the business, should probably have pizza ready during lunch hour, especially when offering an "all-you-can-eat" special. I found it strange that the pizza was delivered last.
As far as the missing beef, it brings me back to the Burger King commercials from the 1980's, "Where's the beef??" - well, had I known it would taste as it did, I'd be asking, "Where's the door?" To their defense, the place was not known as Gus's Pizza, Burgers, and Gyros.
With the exception of the wings, which were fairly decent, the gyro meat looked and tasted microwaved. The burger, which I tried a small sample of, reminded me of reheated cafeteria food - the kind you would get from public grade schools.
The onion rings were over fried and the fries were showered in salt (not the quick shower, better related to the long showers where your mom questions why the water bill was so high last month.)
Our bill, less the comped gyro and onion rings was just shy of $39. We split it four ways. I tipped a hair over 20%, mainly because the waitress was polite, despite the quality of the food or slow service. Also because it is the first and last bit of money they will ever receive from me.
Thanks for the experience.
