Ian and Robert started with appetizers. Ian got a plate of fried green beans (this seems to be a new restaurant trend, especially since T.G.I.Friday started featuring them) with dipping sauces of Ranch dressing and a spicy Ranch. I sampled a few and they were pretty tasty.
Robert got a plate of chicken wings; he was not impressed. When he ordered, the waitress specifically asked if he wanted the sauce on the wings or on the side; he said on the wings; she brought it on the side.
I abstained from an appetizer because of the entree I ordered: smothered chicken. Two big, fried chicken breasts were covered in grilled onion and mushrooms, and then covered with melted cheeses. They were quite tasty! But, with all those fat grams, they should have been. A side of cole slaw and mashed potatoes and gravy came with the meal. I'd specifically asked the waitress for white gravy on the potatoes and she brought brown instead; I sent the potatoes back and she brought the proper item. One would think that it would be common knowledge that brown gravy goes with beef and white gravy with chicken.
Robert had a bacon cheeseburger that he said was good.
Ian just ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup. By the time we all had finished and were ready for dessert, though, he decided he was still hungry and ordered a fried egg sandwich.
Meanwhile, the waitress brought dessert for Robert and me. He had the cherry pie à la mode. This is, alas, not one of those diners that specializes in pies like many of the places I like in small town Oklahoma, but Robert was able to eat all he was served (he thought the serving size "small").
I had a piece of chocolate cake with ice cream. I was expecting a layer cake, but they served thick pieces of sheet cake with a light chocolate glaze on top.
After we were all finished, Ian ordered his dessert, getting the rice pudding. It looked pretty good, although I didn't try it.
