| - I could just put a sad face here, and leave it at that, but then you wouldn't know the excruciating time we had at this place. Wow. I am EXTREMELY disappointed and I don't give one star reviews lightly!!
After hearing how great this place was over and over and over, and that it was on Diners, drive Ins and dives I HAD to go. I'm a sucker for that sorta thing, and man did this place miss the mark. I can honestly say unless they make some serious changes I may never go back or give it a second glance.
Parking was an adventure at this place.. the only spots open were close to a curb, so I decided to take my SUV and pretend it was a Jeep Wrangler. I got so frustrated trying to find a place to park on an empty stomach that I seriously just baja'd over the curb and bounced into the small spot that was waiting.
When we came in, I was excited about this place. It had that old divey dinerish feel that I love and I figured there was NO way this place could be a miss. We got the menu and I thought everything sounded amazing! I ended up opting to make my own burger. Egg, mozzarella cheese & mayo. Pretty simple right? Well not for our server, she was apparently still drunk from her binge the night before. I know this because she told us, in her half arsed attempt of an apology. Sigh. I'll get there, don't you worry.
I got my burger with fries. I'd asked for onion rings.... That wasn't that big of a deal, but it was only the beginning to the train wreck that was coming. The burger looked fantastic, and I couldn't wait to try it! Well I took that first bite and there was a taste I wasn't expecting... ONIONS. Really? So you forget the onion rings but you apparently added them to my burger, and went sans mayo. Good thing I like onions I guess. I just ate the burger and didn't say anything at first.
My boyfriend ordered the BBQ sandwich with the sauce on the side and no coleslaw. She brings him the BBQ with no sauce, and coleslaw slathered on the top of it. He has to remind her that he asked for no coleslaw and the sauce on the side. She brings him two types of sauce to try and the sweeter of the two is a mustard based. How do I know this? Because she mixed the mustard in and a fat layer of yellow was on top the the smokey red. She didn't even mix it up or anything. Normally I'm not this picky of a person, but with every single thing that happened, I had enough.
We asked her for a box twice, and took home the leftovers. She did apologize about her screw ups, and said, "I'm so sorry, I think I'm still half drunk. I'll give you a free dessert." I almost didn't get the dessert because by this point I had better things to do than spend any more of my time at the penguin. But she said banana pudding and I thought maybe that would bring them back up a star. She brought it over, I took a few bites and I just wasn't impressed.
When we got home my stomach was all torn up, and I ended up throwing away the left overs. I didn't want to feel that way two days in a row. UGH. Sorry for the long winded review, but I warned you.
My take on this place: :( Save your money, and keep the experience of what you saw on TV in your heart. This place is sure to disappoint.
