The only thing I hated about this place was the fact that they didn’t have a wheel barrel to roll me out of the restaurant in and back to my truck. Whoever made that sauce deserves a forehead kiss from The Almighty God himself, on a first name basis with the angels and a guaranteed spot in heaven. There is no way a human concocted this masterpiece of a sauce. I wanted to empty my account for the tip but I had laundry and we know them coin machines take $175 to wash and $215 to dry. I pray I have the opportunity to return to this blessed establishment. I love yall. #DianaHasTheSauce
I ordered two entrees, because that’s just how I roll. But this restaurant does have a pretty large menu. I just went with the basics. I ordered eggplant parmesan with angel hair pasta. And I ordered veo parmesan with spaghetti. I placed my order online and walked to pick it up.
When I got back to my truck and opened everything up for the photos, I couldn’t tell the difference between the eggplant parm and the veal parm. Looking at these photos, they’re exactly the same.
I ended up digging into the eggplant parmesan first. It was absolutely delicious! Homemade sauce is always a plus. The eggplant was lightly breaded and the angel hair pasta was cooked al dente. All covered by a very hefty amount of cheese.
The veal parmesan was good, but not as good as the eggplant. I don’t know if it was the veal that changed the flavor of the sauce. The spaghetti that came with the veal was also cooked al dente. And this dish also was covered by a hefty amount of cheese.
Both these dishes came with a very basic salad. I asked for blue cheese dressing. Which tasted good
And I also received a total of six garlic knots with my order. The garlic knots were good, maybe a little bit light on the garlicky flavor though.
All total, this set me back a little over $37. I would definitely recommend the eggplant parmesan.
HUGE mistake on my part, I should have known better. I could have gotten a better steak at the convenient store next door even if it was sitting under a heated lamp.
I paid $35+ dollars for what was supposed to be a ribeye, and it was not a ribeye. If you claim that it was, then the cook managed to cook the ribeye into something else which is pretty impressive. What was not impressive is the way it was cooked and the veggies that came with it. I really thought it was just me, but my coworker got sick also.
The steak was extremely thin, I have seen fajita strips thicker then this. It was over cooked, I asked for Medium rare, damn thing was closed to burn and fully cooked through, pretty hard. Between the steak and the veggies, something tasted off. I could not tell you what it was that caused it, but I can tell you that you had two people getting sick later that day.
Did we eat it, absolutely we did, we were hungry and had to get back to work. I did not have time for them to prepare me another steak and after seeing what was on my plate, not sure if I even wanted to wait for another. I looked at my coworker and said, lets just be grateful we have a meal. I always try to see the positive in everything, but I am sorry to say that this will be my last visit.
I know that this may not matter, but charging as much as you did for that piece of overcooked flat iron or Sirloin tip, but it was not a ribeye.
I chose to not make a scene and to not argue over this, it just was not worth it. It cost me $35 plus tip, the waitress seemed concerned. That is the price I payed to learn that I will not be back and will never be able to recommend this place to all my clients in the area that I work with.
Again, I chose not to make a scene or complain, life is to short to be debating over a steak. But I am leaving this here for everyone. Do not order the steak!!
