Summary:
Budget priced, huge selection, arrive at the beginning of lunch or dinner for freshest food otherwise the food may have been sitting there for a while. Seniors love it.
Dishes are typically homestyle and may include liver and onions, Salisbury steak, pork cutlets, roast beef, fried chicken, chicken strips, meatballs, pork chops, turkey and many others. The entrees go around $3.29 to $3.99 for more than ample serving sizes.
There are a wide range of salads including fruit salads and green leafy salads. Vegetable and roll selections are varied as well. The deserts, priced around $1.29 for a large 1/6th piece of pie, are as good as we have have seen, and include pies, cakes, puddings, strawberry shortcake, and sugar-free selections.
This is the perfect solution to a meal, if you are in a hurry, but not wanting fast food burgers. You can have a well balanced meal, get it quickly, and move on down the road.
The service is not good at all. In fact, generally it is horrible. Refills on drinks are hard to come by. It is best to seat yourself near the beverage bars in the back, and refill your own drinks.
The restaurant dining area is clean, as are the restrooms.
Staff that serve the food are very rough, and not friendly all all. Each pretty much seems to hate their job or at minimum hate the customers. The cashier staff make up for them, always friendly and pleasant.
Kim calls it the "Mess Hall", referring to military style food service and the gruff "keep your mouth shut, eat it or else" attitude of the staff behind the serving bar.
I think that sums it up in the food service line. But, the dining area is much nicer than a Mess Hall, much more civilian.
The atmosphere in the food service line reminds me more of the Soup Nazi on the comedy show Seinfeld. You have to know how to order, and you have to do it quickly, or you get attitude. Though I have never heard a server scream, " NO SOUP FOR YOU!" I also have never seen a smile on a server's face, in the several times we stopped in for a quick break from work.
It is bare basics, nothing more, nothing less, and priced right for what you get.
On our last visit, we seated near the beverage station and had an excellent waitress. She was very attentive and friendly. Because her service stood out from all those we experienced in the past, we left her a $10 tip.
As I walked past the window on the way to the car, I could see her clutching the tip in her hand, hugging another waitress while jumping up and down. Price of the meal $20.00, tip $10.00 watching the joy of a waitress getting a nice tip, priceless.
A real favorite of senior citizens.
