We discovered tonight that they do not cook breakfast all day long. Breakfast is only available until 1:30 p.m. They only do night breakfast on Fridays and Saturdays after 9 p.m., when they stay open til 4 a.m.
We also got to watch them make their iced tea. Unsweetened tea just isn't available, and when I asked the waitress about it, she got the most confused look on her face! They brew their tea with great big commercial tea bags in big kitchen pots with hot water and sugar. Then, they add a bunch of lemonade to it before putting it into their fountain bubbler.
Our food choices tonight were limited to sandwiches and some dinner selections. Robert picked the pork chops smothered in brown gravy, and selected baked macaroni and cheese and candied sweet potatoes as his sides. He liked them.
I got the beef spareribs with macaroni and cheese and candied sliced beets. I was amazed at how good the spareribs tasted.
My complaint here remains the same. The food is very tasty, but I continue to have major concerns about their food handling and safety practices. Our food all got dished up from their steam table by our waitress (who didn't wash her hands first or put on plastic gloves). She brought the food directly to our table, but when it arrived, it was warmish, but it wasn't hot. The U.S.D.A. recommends that hot foods be stored at temperatures at least 140º Fahrenheit, and they just weren't anywhere near that. My other complaint isn't really a complaint so much as noting their traditional recipes are very, very old school.....it seems like everything, even the macaroni and cheese, has added sugar! Good thing I'm skinny and not on a diet.
