Gold mining and dining unite at this kitschy all-American eatery.

Sheet of Paper in my Cesar Salad!!

by marthalucina

I know, it sounds un-believable, but it's NOT. I went in for dinner and ordered a cesar salad, and some ribs. I got the salad first and started eating. I stuck my fork and felt hesitation, and then I yanked up only to see a big wierd buldge of cesar dressing. I still could not figure it out. I put my fork down and gripped this wierd mass and pulled it out..... It was a sheet of paper (yes, 8.5 x 11) completely smothered in cesar dressing wedged in the bottom of the salad! I even stretched it out to make sure I wasn't crazy. I didn't want to make a big deal about it, so I just asked the server to please replace my salad, well she called the manager over! I made it very clear that I didn't want to make a big deal, so she stormed into the kitchen and (I assume) went off on the cooks. They didn't comp the meal, they just took half off the salad. I wasn't too pleased about that. Everything was great, with the one wierd exception of having found a sheet of paper in my salad.

• Pros: you get your money's worth

Took lots to go

by Cinnabon2

One of our favorite places. We went with a group of 6. From appetizers to the dessert the service & food was excellent. We tried it all! Pizza, salad bar, ribs,steak & lobster, pasta, fish & soup. We think the ribs are delicious. Pizza is great. Steak is upthere, not like RC but fairly close. The Baked potato is wonderful. Avg cost per person with non alcoholic drink was $33.00 including tip.

• Pros: Delicous food, Good service
• Cons: crowded, no reservations
