Anyone had a crappy meal at a cheap joint lately?

Forgot this thread even existed.

I went to dinner with my girlfriend and her parents over the weekend in Hiawatha, KS.....very small town about 2 hours north of KC.  I had never been there before but apparently there's only 1 resturant in this town so that's where we went for dinner.  We walk in the front door and it was just a tiny little bar full of farmers and thier child-brides.  Then off to the left there was a room with about 5 or 6 folding picnic tables.  This was the "resturant."

I ordered a steak which also came with fries and a salad, and got a pepsi to drink.

The waitress brought me a can of pepsi.

Then the salads came out and the bowls looked like they had been purchased at a yard sale.  None of them matched and they all had chips around the edge. 

And instead of a small bowl of dressing, the waitress just gave us the entire bottle....which was actually kind of cool because there's never enough dressing in those little bowls you get at fancy places like Sizzler. 

Dinner was then served on a hard plastic cafeteria style lunch tray.  You know, the kind with the dividers.  It was a pretty decent steak but it was just a steak.  Clearly it had not been seasoned or marinated or anything. 

My meal alone was $20 and was the cheapest of the 4 of us. 

People must only eat at this resturant on special occasions because I noticed that everyone seemed to be wearing their "nice jeans."  Once dapper young man even went all out and wore a tuxedo t-shirt. 

I can't wait to go back.   With a camera.

Probably just killed it a few minutes earlier

It tasted like a steak that I could pull off the supermarket shelves and throw on my grill.  Good steak, but nothing I can't do at home.

They might have been at one point.  There's a possibility that the chips around the edges were actually tooth marks from when a litter of puppies were chewing on it.  

Also, I forgot to mention that none of the silverware matched but all of it was clearly manufactured sometime in the 70's.  You know what I'm talking about.

I'm guessing you've never been to Kansas.

Admittedly, the fries were delicious.  Not sure exactly what they seasoned them with but they were outstanding.  And my g/f's baked potato was the size of a watermelon had half a pig's worth of bacon and an entire block of gubbment cheese piled on top of it.

I have to agree with this. When I was at Fort Jackson South Carolina for training I was banging this girl who took me to a place like the one Sarge described for breakfast. Probably one of the best breakfast's I've ever had. The biscuits and gravy were unreal.

There are more "places like that" in red states than blue states.  Belee dat.

South Carolina = red state

Also, if you were just "banging" the girl, you don't go out for breakfast.  You were dating her, sucker.

I was there for 5 weeks and banged her for 2.
