Welcome to Memphis Pigout: Dissapointing quality food for through-the-roof prices. Let's break this down:
-FOOD: Fairly upsetting. $20 for a few bites of soggy pork with a side of soggy fries or soggy cole slaw. Don't worry, there are other menu options. $30 for a couple of ribs with more cartilage than meat. Or, you could pay $20 for catfish breaded in sandy stuff. Or you could have the soggy pork on a Walmart bun. Let's talk about the "salad bar." Walmart lettuce, soggy croutons, and bread that tasted like it came from the shoprite bakery. Come on.
-SERVICE: Although somewhat friendly throughout my visit, the waitress did grumble and complain about her coworkers and how she was the only one doing any work. She also never came back to check on us or refill our water during our stay.
-FACILITY: The building was wierd. As I walked in, I looked to my left and saw a full-sized skeleton dummy sitting in a chair. There were no windows. At all. The roof was painted black, giving the place a strange feel. Perhaps the strangest part of the building was the decoration. There was a fully decorated Christmas tree in each room, despite the fact that I visited in mid-october. Bizarre. The bathroom had an old urinal that seemed to be from the 70s. The bathroom floor way sticky.
-CONCLUSION: I really appreciate the spirit of the place. It is a friendly local restaurant. However, the food was completely overpriced and wasn't too superb. The service was not great and the building was a bit strange. Again, the biggest dissapointment of the restaurant was the pricing of the food. Way too high.
