I've been here three times, and it's hard to think of a single restaurant I've ever been to that I have enjoyed less.

First time, nine years ago: lukewarm chicken noodle soup with disgusting clumps, and a bagel that felt like it was easily three days old. Slow, inattentive service.

Second time, 6 years ago: Slow service, bland food, and corn so incredibly salty I could have salted the entire party's meal with it.

Third time, this week:

Drinks were rarely refilled and we eventually gave up and filled our own drinks from the unit on the patio. Silverware was filthy. Appetizer platter was delivered and server asked us if we wanted plates, which seemed like an unnecessary question, but the option suddenly made sense when they were delivered also filthy. We had to go through them and turn in half of them for clean ones. The onion rings were oddly watery and creamy, and the wings tasted like they came from the 7-Eleven across the street. The mozzarella sticks were decent, though.

The main courses mostly arrived, although one of our party who ironically ordered the only non-hot dish waited an additional 10 minutes before being notified his order never made it to the kitchen and was now being made. My steak, ordered medium, was delivered well done and super rough, and the steamed vegetables were lifeless and bland. The baked potato was decent, though.

After we finished our main courses, our server offered to clear our plates, proceeded to clear half of them, and left all of the rest on the table for the remainder of the evening, forcing us to move them ourselves to clear space for dessert. When we ordered said dessert, one member of our party ordered the banana cream pie, and I ordered the lemon meringue pie. Our server returned several minutes later to inform the other member of the party that they were out of banana cream pie, but highly recommended the chocolate as an alternative, which he agreed to. Server left, returned several minutes later to inform me they were also out of lemon meringue. I also asked for the chocolate cream pie, at which point I was informed we would need to fight for the last piece. I "won" the fight, much to my eventual horror. The pie that was delivered initially fooled me with its freshly-sprayed whipped cream, but it quickly became clear this was a cover-up for the fact that the pie had clearly sat on the shelf for possibly weeks. My fork could barely make it through the cream layer on top, much less the chocolate filling itself, despite not being cold enough to be frozen, and the actual flavor was sour and sickening. Our friend who ordered the carrot cake reported it was freakishly spicy and did not sit well with him. The chocolate cake was decent, though.

Every few years I get roped into returning to this restaurant and regret it every single time. I have never been to a more consistently bad restaurant. I understand every place has its off moments, and I won't judge a restaurant based off of one experience. But three visits across a decade have every single time been the worst restaurant food I've ever had. I feel like that's a pattern worth writing up. The parking was decent, though.
