I went on a Saturday last spring. Parking lot was full. There was a wait. Crisp waffle & hashbroend but no butter or msple syrup. Next time drive the 10 extra miles snd go to Crown Candy in St. Louis. Totally worth passing on blech breafast foods for sundaes.

What LSC location were you at? It seems the experience may vary by location these days.

This was the original Chinatown location... around 6:30-7pm, so peak dinner hour. We were sat upstairs (after turning down table right inside door of main dining room because wife is super sensitive to cold) and were only people up there for most of the time, so couldn't see how other table's food looked, etc. But there were 2 waiters up there most of the night and they were super attentive. Wasn't like we were forgotten about or anything.
i hope you didn't get sick from it? was it genuinely rotten, or just tasted bad?ronnie_suburban wrote:An Oyster Rockefeller at The Shanty in Wadsworth. Definitely the nastiest oyster I've ever eaten. As it was going down, I was already regretting it. It tasted like the bottom of dirty fish tank (or how I imagine that would taste).

Had the brisket, dry with no fat anywhere. No smoke flavor. Tasted more like grandma's passover brisket than a BBQ brisket.
Mac n Cheese was worse than Kraft dinner. Actually it may have been Kraft dinner. Beans were horrible. Sweet style sauce was way too sweet. Wife had the peach cobbler which was inedible, tasted like they forgot to add sugar and looked like it had been sitting out for days.

Several times I have gone to an enthusiastically received eatery for an exuberantly recommended dish and was extremely underwhelmed. Take the Longman & Eagle burger, for example. Please.
Anyway, yesterday I got out of work early and went to Publican Quality Meats. With the cold looming, I wanted some pork and some sausage to make bean soup with. I also ordered the THE BIG E sandwich:
wagyu brisket, horseradish cheddar, smoked onions, mustard and green leaf lettuce on a rye bun - $14
Not horrible, but far, far, far from good.
The rye bun was gummy and tasteless. The wagyu brisket was dry, chewy, and fairly tasteless. It had a leaf of lettuce!
The baggie the pickle quarter came in was rockin', though. It ziplocked at the top.
Seriously disappointing. Makes me less likely to get a sandwich there again.
