Guess what!

Guess what people; we have real restaurants in Charlotte with chefs that put great thought into dishes, taste and a beautiful presentation here in town. They have wonderful wait staffs that are attentive when it comes to your needs, while invisible when it comes to your intimate conversation with your fellow diners. You do not have to pay $124.00 for shared appetizers and desserts ( no entree) for 4 with all the culinary delights equal or below that of an easy bake oven! This meal consists of 2 trays of 4 cauliflowers, 1 celery stick, 6 baby carrots, one apple, a bowl of diced bread. These come with a bowl of beer and cheddar cheese, for dipping. Bon appetit! What is this? REALLY frugal football fare? But come now. I am hardly being fair. There is the delectable dessert tray. (I joke!) 2 trays (for 4 to share) each consisting of a couple of sliced strawberries, a few marshmallows, 2 one inch brownie squares, a couple of slices off a banana, and a one inch wide slice of cheesecake to share for 2 with a bowl of chocolate. I only wish I were joking! It is very wise to come here with a GREAT sense of humor, no inhibition about wasting your assets, very little appetite, and VERY VERY low expectations for your taste buds. Did I mention it is located in a strip shopping center? But to top it off a poor child across from us was writhing in pain and crying after burning herself. Has her mother not heard? If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen? Oh wait! We weren't in the kitchen! But yet, in fact we might as well have been. Two people had a couple of drinks to be fair about the tab. With this food and price it may be considered medicinal purposes.

• Pros: comfy booths
• Cons: everything else
