text: My best friend and some our assorted kidlets ate here last night on our way back down from Flagstaff where we were picking up the two oldest kidlets from NAUnnWe pulled in at and it looked almost deserted there were only about cars in the parking lot Being afraid they would already closed I checked the hours on the door it said it was open to PM perfect We walk in seat ourselves per the sign The wooden highchair we found for my toddler was missing the safety belts and was more wobbly than a year old Bangladesh highrise in a category typhoon Seriously I was not even sure it was totally safe but we did not see another option so I kept her at arms length just in case it started to lean dangerously as she wiggled in it Thankfully it held up okay but it does not have too many more days ahead of it before it is fire kindling nnRight away a hostess came over and offered us menus and takes our drink orders waters and a Dr Pepper The waitress was there just a couple minutes later to get our dinner orders and unfortunately one of the teenagers had just wandered away seconds beforehand so we had to ask her to come back in a second to get all of our orders Well nearly minutes later she returned and got all of our orders Also while she was gone I noted that the floor was filthy Really I am cool with rustic concrete floors but throughout the day someone needs to be sweeping the floor This floor did not look like it had been swept ALL day long with crumpled napkins bits of smashed food straw wrappers crumbs etc nnI ordered the mac and cheese dinner entree with vegetables in lieu of potato side and a side salad My side salad was served right away and was crisp and fresh Very tasty Interestingly they serve it with diced cucumber and tomatoes which was different but very tasty I think I liked it better that way compared to how most places serve itnnThe mac and cheese arrived a few minutes later and while it looked delicious with a perfectly browned bread crumb topping and gooey stringy cheesey deliciousness and perfect al dente macaroni noodles it was totally and utterly tasteless I honestly think the kitchen made it without any seasoning at all Now I am no gourmand but I have made some home style mac and cheese in my day and there are certain things aside from salt and pepper you can add to give it some zing like onion garlic nutmeg mustard powder paprika etc I do not think this mac and cheese even saw salt and pepper let alone ANY of the more complex seasonings Sad I was really enticed because it looked so good on the surface but it was a utter tasteflop My month old daughter would not even eat it Additionally the side dish they served it with was canned peas with a couple of random pieces of carrots Yuck Note to the kitchen canned peas are virtually inedible graygreen little balls of mush please at least use frozen peas they are so much better tasting and looking and practically the same pricennMy best friend said her Cobb Salad with grilled chicken was the best she ever had and she knows from saladsnnThe other kids ate their food without complaint except my year old nephew who also received a side of canned peas with his dinner He refused to touch them and made jokes threatening to throw them one by one at his older sister Ah the joys of older children nnnAnyway my friend and I shared a piece of Jack Daniels Pecan Pie That was superb And really as most of us already know pie is what Rock Springs Cafe is known for throughout the State rightnnOur bill for adults teens and a baby was about We paid it and sadly we literally were not quite to our car in the parking lot when they turned off the lights and closed the place down Weird It was not even yet
