Chicken, Chips and Hush Puppies |
Seafood Platter |
The folks then drove to Camping World. Mama is still looking for a cart to carry her laundry in. She found one online that Walmart carries, but she has to have it shipped there. She would like to see one in person. They didn't have one, but she did buy a hummingbird feeder. She has one, but it doesn't have the spot for the hummingbirds to rest on. We have a hummingbird that is visiting here. He is a Ruby Red Throat. It's a little disappointing because that is the same species that we have at home. We would like to see something new.
On to the somewhat disappointing meal. Mama has been wanting to eat at the Brown Derby. It is a steak and seafood place. 100% of the people who visited, have liked it. She ordered a ribeye and a loaded baked potato. The salad comes in a big bowl and is shared. It has eggs,cucumbers, onions and lettuce. The salad was delicious. The homemade bread was delicious. The loaded baked potato was huge and delicious but it was $1.99 additional to have it loaded. That seems a little much for cheese and bacon bits. The ribeye, it was not good. It was dry and unseasoned. It seemed like it was a bad cut of meat. It was very disappointing. Mama's total bill was $31 with a tip and she felt it just wasn't worth it because of the steak. Dad's bill was separate.

Dad told our neighbors about their bad steak experience and they recommended a place to them. They may try it this weekend. It is located in an old mill. It sounds like it could be interesting. Mama didn't place a vote on Urbanspoon because the choices are like or dislike. She liked it, but disliked the steak. If she totally disliked it, she wouldn't be willing to give them another try.
It is supposed to be a rainy day today. We were headed to the playground and it started to rain, so we came back. It's not raining now, so I got ripped off.

Did they tell their server that they were unhappy with the meal? I think it is always important to (politely) tell the server if there is anything I am unhappy about with my meal. Sometimes they just apologize, or don't even care. Other times, I have been given a new dish (when my soup was WAY too salty to eat), had part of the bill comped, or been given a free dessert. At the least, I think it is important to let them know I am less than totally satisfied. Especially for the kind of prices that place charged for steaks.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nuisance when you go somewhere to eat and don't enjoy it. Hope the other place will be better. Mum says her dog walking shoes sometimes get stinky too with the wet weather. She chucks them in the washing machine and they come out okay.

That's awful that your mom spent so much money on a meal she didn't like! I am guessing that your mom is a restaurant reviewer? Is that what she does for a living? If so, does she have a column in the paper or magazine?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love that your mom is saving her old sneakers for walks with you because oldies are definitely goodies!
NOMNOMNOMNOM That steaks looks yummy to meeee!!!!

Those chips with your chicken look very English..... but what are Hush Puppies?! Deccy x
ReplyDeleteHi Y'all!
ReplyDeleteJust trying to get around and visit all my friends I've been missing.
My Human keeps a pair of rubber shoes that slip on, she calls them rubbers. She and Papa both have them. When the grass is wet she wears slip ons in the house and changes into these rubbers to go out with me.
Y'all come by now,

Can't wait to hear about your re-visit. Sounds like they were having a bad night.
