Upon entering, you must seat yourself. I was meeting with someone, so I found him and sat down. Nothing has changed in that place since I moved here 31 years ago (same booths, same decor, etc.). Now, the booths are riddled with high school detention scribble like the Shack. It was hard to focus on the conversation at hand because when I looked up, the walls were covered with super thick dust, and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned since 1972. When I looked at the stuffed duck on the wall near the last booth near the back of the front room, it was covered in so much thick dust and grease, not even Dawn dishwashing liquid could save its life. I tried to ignore it as our very attentive waitress ensured our food and drink orders were placed. This was a huge change from the last time I was here because we had to order at the window and pick up our own food. The servers were definitely bustling about with top-notch service. I could see into the kitchen and they could see me too. Our waitress was worried about our food taking a while and assured us our order was up next. I wasn't even tripping off how long it was taking, but it was very nice that she was on top of it. When she sat our paper lined plastic basket down of food, I quietly laughed inside at my hockey puck shaped burger. I know 4oz is smaller than what my dinner date ordered (7oz) but I was thinking they'd at least smash it to the size of the bun or something. I had to stop and think about how I could get all of my toppings together and eat it. I strategically layered it and topped it with Grey Poupon and ketchup. When I took my first bite, it had absolutely no flavor. I took more bites and the same thing. Seasonless and sadness. It was nice that it was grilled and cooked how I asked (medium rare), but it had absolutely no flavor. I'd usually order chicken tenders every time I've been there, so it was a shock to my taste buds, that burger. My date ordered the 7oz burger with bacon and a side of fries. The fries looked like they were cooked in old grease and lukewarm as I had tried one of his. Our bill was close to $38. Y'all need to clean the walls!
