I know this is going to sound odd coming from me, as I am one of those folks who simply detest going to the mall, but listen for a second.
In Gastonia, North Carolina, we have a mall in the center of town located on the corner of I-85 and New Hope Road. This mall has had its share of troubles and is losing stores faster than it can fill them. Even the food court is spotty as far as having vacancies. I'm not sure what inspired it, but we also now have our Motor Vehicles tag office located in our Mall LOL!
All that said if you go in the main entrance of the mall you will come up the escalators and be standing next to this tag office, and to your right will be the food court area, and then you'll see this really shocking restaurant / food stand, for lack of a better terminology. Somehow we've been blessed enough for God to put "Ronaldo's culinary experience" in the middle of a food court in the middle of a crappy dying shopping mall.
This is honestly a four or five-star culinary experience. I'm going to upload some photographs, I hope you'll enjoy, but I don't need to sit here and tell you about this food because everything I've eaten there has been spot on delicious. Nothing else in any mall in America can compare to this, being just obnoxiously honest, there are only two or three places in this entire town I would put the same category in one of those is $30 for a ribeye. When I go there to eat, I feel like I should be sitting at a table with a nice white tablecloth and fancy folded napkins, maybe even with a tuxedo wearing server. I can't imagine for the life of me why anyone would go to the nasty Asian fusion place to the left of him with a 93 Health rating instead of walking up and letting Renaldo blow them away.
His pricing structure was a little higher than most of the other choices you have, but now they seem to have fallen in line. I know for some reason, in my mind, I'm able to say I'm getting more food for my money quality-wise whereas other Mall goers and people who work there may have a need for it to be cheaper to justify them eating their. No I probably couldn't afford to go there every single day, but I would have a darn hard time trying not to go get two jobs in the mall just to be able to do so.
I'm going to upload photos of his Greek Pizza, Shrimp and grits, the best chicken wings in Gaston County, possibly that I've ever had, tiramisu sponge cake, macarons, Salmon part is, crab cakes, and every single thing I'm going to put a photo of is homemade right there from scratch. If you are traveling down I-85 in either direction you will have sorely missed out if you do not stop and go sit on the crappy tables in the middle of our mall and try Ronaldo's. If you live in Gastonia and you haven't been there, shame on you!
