Dee's Family Restaurant

Edit: I am just now seeing this response from the owner, some months later. And I appreciate their honest and candid response. It maybe has been enough months now for them to have found a better ham product. So I will reach out to them and give it another try...

It pains me to write this review at three stars. Because I have been eating at Dee's literally for over 40 years. And most of my previous experiences were always good. But this last visit wasn't partially. Let me start by giving the good: our waiter was excellent. He was on top of things. And he was very polite. As well, the food was out to us very fast, considering they were pretty busy. So these things were good. But the whole reason you go there, for the food, was not. I ordered breakfast. The lumberjack I think it is called? Anyway, came with three types of meat. Eggs and I ordered french toast. The bacon was absolutely soggy and greasy. Clearly not cooked enough. I like my bacon to have some crunch to it. I think that is probably how most of us eat it. But this was as soggy, greasy and limp as I have ever seen strips of bacon. Tasted terrible. And the ham, to me, tasted like store bought, processed ham. One of the most bland, yucky hams I have had a long time. Finally, the syrup served to us was absolutely disgusting. I cannot say it any other way and be honest. It tasted like palin caro or corn syrup. It didn't taste like syrup, maple or have virtually any sweetness to it at all. It may well be the worst syrup I have ever tasted in my life. No joke. So for me two spend nearly $30 for two of us to eat and to get food this bad, I feel kind of burned. And to be honest, I am not sure after all of these years, I will go back. Prices on the food have gone up quite a bit here since my last visit. Like they have most places I suppose. The problem I see, is that also at most of these places with the price increases on food, the quality is now suffering as well. With smaller portions. And cheaper tasting food, that isn't as good of quality. I just was not impressed for $30. C'mon Dees, you have to do better than this.... :(
