Bullpen

Just got a roast beef hot shot which is roast beef on bread with gravy. The meat is like shoe leather. That’s terrible because the girl that took my order was very sweet. I can’t believe you serve this meat it looks old and probably is. The worst I’ve ever had. Maybe I should have gotten the burger!!

This was my first time going, and I will go back, but I wasn't super impressed. I ordered the Turkey Hotshot, with green beans and a bowl of vegetable soup, and my Father ordered the 3 piece chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and a side salad. The side salad looked nice, it was more than just lettuce and dressing. It had dice tomatoes, cucumber and cheese. The dressing was pre-drizzled on a small amount, and included extra on the side. My vegetable soup on the other hand looked good, but had zero flavour. Very bland is putting it mildly, and I had to add a lot of salt to bring out some sort of flavour. But for 2.50 a bowl, I can't really complain. The turkey hotshot was pretty much what I expected. Sliced deli meat on white bread with mashed potatoes and a plateful of turkey gravy. This tasted fine. Typical diner hotshot, with lots of meat, atleast. The green beans are not seasoned, but don't taste canned. What I sampled of the fried chicken dinner was that it was horribly dry, and not fresh. Since the diner sits inside a grocery store, Dots, which sells broasted chicken in it's deli department, I fear when this was ordered it was just retrieved from there, and who knows how long it had been sitting under the hot lamp. I'm sure their chicken is delicious when fresh, but the plate we got was definitely old and reheated. The mashed potatoes were also oddly topped with brown gravy and not poultry gravy like my hotshot was. Just seemed like an odd kitchen call. Anywho, the diner was pretty much what I was expecting going on. Not horrible, not great, and worth the prices paid. 2 dinners, 2 drinks, plus an extra side of soup for 20 bucks is hard to find in many dining establishments anymore. I expect that things are under-seasoned because it caters to a more older crowd who aren't into a whole of complex flavours. I will return to try other items, especially their breakfast menu (which is served all day). Not many places serve fried mush anymore, so I look forward to trying that. And my father who was debating between the chicken and liver and onions will probably get that next time.

Never had a good meal here. Had them tell me they don't have some food that's they have on the menu. They always have a random cook, never seen the same one twice, and they are subpar at cooking and always INCREDIBLY SLOW. Been here 4 or 5 times as people say it's good, but after that many tries and nothing ever good, no way will I'll step foot in that dive again.
