It used to be that casinos could sell good food as a loss leader, to get people to play the games, but it is clear that the specials themselves are now a cash grab.
The $12.99 steak and lobster was terrible.
I've seen better looking steaks in the freezer at Dollar Tree, and I wish that was an exaggeration. It was thin, leathery, and flavorless.
The lobster tail is an ounce of lobster meat, attached to the shell on the outside, and tasted like it was flash frozen after pre-cooking, and reheated in a microwave. The saving grace was the melted butter, which allowed you to choke down the rubbery lobster meat.
The mixed vegetables were exactly what you find in any frozen peas, carrots, and corn bag on your grocer's freezer.
The potato was, well, a potato.
Not only will I never eat at this Tony Roma's, but I won't ever eat at another Tony Roma's either.
Any chain that would allow their name to be associated with an overpriced TV dinner, billed as a great value restaurant quality meal, obviously has no pride in their brand.
