Popped in for a quick meal. Didn't go in with much expectation for a chain family restaurant, but what I experienced was below expectations!
The lowdown:
For a supposedly "American-style Restaurant", food is astonishingly small in size, drinks are weak, service was less than courteous, negative value for quality if that is possible. The whole affair felt like eating over-microwaved TV dinners at restaurant prices. I guess the semblence to TV dinners was the most "American" thing about this restaurant. I can't believe Ruby Tuesdays as a well known family restaurant chain could belch out such poor quality food.
[Apologies for the lack of photojournalism, wasn't prepared for a food experience plus the food was so disappointing I just wanted to fill my stomach and leave]
Service:
Spartan - as in you got your order correctly and that's it. Didn't get any water before drinks arrived until we asked. Food was served without plates/cutlery. Cutlery taken away without asking.
Food:
Appys
was a coconut fried shrimp concoction. This was one of the "better" dishes, tasted better than stuff you bought from the frozen aisle and that's not saying a lot for a restaurant. Totally not worth the price at around $100 for 5 shrimps.
Mains
I had a bourbon BBQ chicken with rice thing. The bourbon sauce was bland at best, can taste a bit of the bitterness from the alcohol plus a very synthetic liquid smoke flavour. Chicken was not even the standard plump chicken breast fillet but a flattened piece of white thing that had the consistency akin to an eraser with the graininess (and thickness) of heavy duty cardboard. Rice was something of the instant variety with random cheese and tomato congealed on top of the rice. The dish also came with some over boiled broccoli ~$190
SO had the wagyu burger and fries. Fries were soggy and oily. Didn't taste the burger personally but the patty was obviously not cooked to order and was dripping lots of clear "juice" which I think may be attributable to too much water added to ground beef during the prep to make up for substandard quality beef. ~$180
Drinks
stole a sip of SO's monster sized margarita which was ginormous as promised but tasted pretty weak (even for someone who doesn't drink). Think a single shot espresso (instead of a double shot) in a venti latte type situation going on here. ~$130
