"...Worst food I've had in a long time..."
The Classic Grill street sign beckoned with:
* Breakfast * Lunch * Dinner * Drive-thru *
Nearby was another sign with "Chicken & Waffles."
"Perfect."
After skipping lunch, I was in the mood to eat breakfast for dinner and was craving Waffles or French Toast. With a quick u-turn on Manchester, I pulled into the free parking and headed to the front to order (no table service).
Prominently displayed on the counter were the 5 daily specials. Four of them involved waffles.
"Yes!!!"
The 4-piece Waffles & 6 Wings with a Soda for $9.99 was my eager choice (passing up on the smaller version of 2 waffles & 3 wings without a soda for $5.49). I paid, grabbed some Tabasco Sauce for the wings, and headed to a booth to watch basketball on the TV. About 12 minutes later, the friendly cashier delivered my plate and a bottle of syrup.
"Oh no!!"
The four Waffle squares were dark and dry as if they'd been prepared hours (or days?) earlier by a Gobi Desert survivor and came with a cup of what I hope was melted "butter." Resting on top were 6 of the driest pieces of Fried Chicken I've ever seen. Not only were they small with little meat, the outside breading was drier than the Mojave and so dark, it was obvious these were fried in some really old oil.
There wasn't one thing juicy or tender about the wings...or soft and warm about the waffles. I couldn't finish the wings and ate the waffles like they were prison food.
Classic Grill may advertise breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drive-thru on their sign, but my advice is to drive-on-by Classic Grill and skip breakfast, lunch, or dinner at this diner.
