| - For crying out loud what the hell is up with this place!
I was told it was the best darn diner, sammi joint I could find near Lakewood, seems to be always crowded, so the my girl and I walk in.
Big pies....8 refrigerated feet of big frickin pies...huge tall pies
Now...being a diner geek..I'm excited cause big pie means big plates of blue-hair style grampa grub!! AMERICAN DINER FOOD!
We see a chalk board whilst waiting for a table...dinner specials w/ lobster or shrimp, medallions of meat...$10-$15...hmmm could be a real joint serving gourmet DISGUISED as a diner to keep foodies away.
We are told by the hostess that these items start a 4:00pm, and it's now 1:45...sorry...
hmm why put the damn chalk board out w/o a time ......
We are seated at the last booth near the service station....we are not vagrant, drunk or both!, and the diner is half full.
Big menu and BIG prices. Lunch sammis are $7-$13...$.50 for cheese, $1.50 for fries on a $6.75 burger..extra lean corned beef add $1.50...higher priced than NYC or Seattle....Can't wait to see the holy fricken grail of diner experiences..
White cloth napkins wrap cheesy flatware on our stained bare Formica table...get me out of here!
But no!...girl is hungry, and everyone is kinda whispering cause it is so quiet...waitess takes our orders: Mine a $7.95 cod sammi w/fries, hers a cheese burger w/no fries.
Now starts the fun!...
Both orders come with fries, we ask the waitress to to bring the girls back, so as not to waste them...she argues that we ordered them..after a debate she says "fine" and takes the girls plate back to the kitchen to dump off the fries..comes back and serves her..We try to be nice...thanks, sorry etc...but just get a um humm from her.
Burger overcooked, fries VERY good, fish sandwich: thin triangle of cod , lettuce / tom...and three bones I pick from my mouth...fucking gross!
We don't say anything to piss off our now hostile server....
Now the coffee: I have had this crap before at Denny's, some diners on Rt. 90, and my car repair guys waiting room. Basic Sysco 2 oz packet to brew 12 cups in a BUN machine.... when fresh..no taste or aroma, thin the color of tea. When old... burned, darker and just as tasty! Ours were burned for $2.00 a cup.
Towards the end of the meal, I mentioned the bones...showed them to her on the plate. First she seemed shocked...then ( remembering the famous french fry war of a 1/2 hour ago no doubt) said and I do not lie..this shit cannot be made up " thats common - you'll have that with fish" WTFFFFK!...I told her I should have ordered the boneless fish sandwich for $.50 more instead of the semi-boneless one!!!!!!! she LAUGHED and found me quite funny...and handed us a $22.00 check.
Oh dear mother of reason....tell me WHY people eat here more than once....or lets open up an Emperors new clothes boutique next door!!!
ps... we passed on the pies
