My last review was flagged (for sexual content!!! What a joke, i will omit the picture of the hostess in the disgusting shorts this time) originally which tells me i'm onto something. Perhaps eat here at your own risk.
The two or three cooks they had in the back went in and out of the back door repeatedly, and left it open which is part of the reason the place is full of flies. Only saw one guy wash his hands the entire time i was waiting on my food,~ 10 minutes
Now for the potential health vode violations:
There is a 2-3 gallon clear tub full of raw eggs just sitting out next to the range on what looked like an old tv tray. Just sitting out, probably 4 dozen eggs, no refrigeration; nothing. In front of that is a plastic red bowl the cook used to whip up eggs for scrambling; repeatedly. He would whip up eggs for one order, put the bowl back on cart to sit out for who knows how long until next order of scrambled eggs/"omelette" gets made. Ick. No clean bowl for each order, leftover pieces of egg residue sitting out in the bowl with flies all over it. He didn't even bother to use a different utensil to mix them up! This too just stayed in the bowl, next to the big container of raw eggs, both right next to the flat top and range, which btw was on the whole time, so it was hot there. The server would also shift around the orders/dupes on the board and then just go back to cooking after wiping his hands on the front of his apron.
The hostess/cashier/server/busser handled money, cards, food, dirty dishes while i was waiting on food, not once washed her hands. I also watched her pull cole slaw or mac or potato salad from the lower reach in, and then scoop it out with her bare hand. Yes, her bare hand. and put it into a to go side cup, then put the lid on it and place it in to go box. She also kept tugging at the rear of her shorts, which is also gross. One guy was eating at the corner table, and just left his dishes; A) bus your own table! and 2) the hostess/cashier/server/busser should probably wash her hands, especially after bussing tables, and then going back to expediting to go orders.
Food:
Country fried steak and eggs, biscuits and gravy. Steak was all rainbow-ey, was a very thin slice of about 3 ounces, whatever meat this seemed to be; which was way overdone. My sunny side up eggs were way overcooked, and the breading and gravy was bland and salty. The biscuits were decent enough, but again the gravy was bland and salty, with a mealy consistency/mouth feel. The scrambled eggs in the b&g order were not good in the slightest. Knowing what i know now, and that it had some leftover half coagulated egg in it from the last *-infinity orders, it makes sense why. Portions of yolk scramble were grey/green, the curd looked like the beat eggs were poured into the hot pan and left there. No mixing, no folding, no stirring. Flat, tasteless overdone off color scrambled eggs. The "sausage links" included in the b&g were not good. They were cold and pink in the middle with an extremely rubbery consistency. Not good at all
My sourdough toast was decent enough, but i couldnt see that being toasted from my vantage point. Oh but the hash browns were decent enough, so there's that. read more
