text: Where to start I remember eating at this chain years ago when I was a child Now I know why my parents stopped taking us therennI would wager none our food was made fresh save perhaps for one of my family members beef ribs which looked to be so overcooked they passed dry sometime in the early afternoon Everything tasted either canned or made from frozen The chicken fried stake I ordered verged on inedible and was clearly an overly deepfried frozen steak The mashed potatoes were awful and pasty to the point I would swear the simply scooped the inside of a baked potato and put it on my plate If there was a trace of cream or butter in them I could not detect it The baked beans were clearly reheated out of a can as were the green beans For dessert the apple pie was runnier than the soup that started the meal a beef barley soup that looked of refuse nnTo top it off the service was awful with our waitress consistently forgetting requests and appearing about as often as my motherinlaws urge to keep her nose in her own damn business nnI can only imagine that this chain is still open because of the nostalgia Stay away if you actually want to enjoy your meal If all you want is a floor with sawdust food that takes no more than a deepfryer and a microwave to prepare and inattentive service this is your dream restaurant
