There isnāt one anymore. The Proud Cut was sold and the quality of the food plummeted. Most locals wonāt go near it anymore. Ken and I didnt know this and went in one day. I always, always order a bowl of their French Onion soup and Ken gets the Rodeo Burger. He canāt eat it all so he usually cuts it into quarters, then I have my soup and 1/4 of his burger. So when we were ordering and all I ordered was the soup, the waitress asked me if I wanted anything else. I told her no, Iād just have a bit of Kenās burger. She went red in the face and informed me that if he shared his meal with me, sheād have to charge us an extra $2.50. WHAAAAT? I said weād done that for at last 10 years, but she was adamant - and embarrassed. I said, āLook at our ages.,.we canāt eat huge meals anymore. So when he canāt eat it all and gets a to-go box, I can sit in the car right out front and eat that 1/4 for free, but if I do it in here it costs me?ā She said, āIām afraid so. New owners here and thatās the policy.ā
Meal came. The soup wasnāt that rich, dark brown I have eaten for yearsā¦.it was gray and looked and tasted like dishwater. It wasnāt even hot, and the cheese on top was unmelted strands of bagged mozzarella. I couldnāt find our waitress so I called someone else over. She told me our waitress was down in the basement for a few minutes. I complained about the soup and this new waitress just shrugged her shoulders and said that it was what I ordered. Period. I didnāt eat. Our first waitress came back with our ticket and it was extremely obvious that sheād been down in that basement having a good cry. Weāve never been back. Check out the reviewsā¦they make for some interesting reading. people have reported that when theyāve complained about their meals, the owners have actually come to their tables and yelled at them!
So now we either hit the China Buffet or one of the fast food places when weāre there. The Irma isnāt bad but we donāt often go there.
have a wonderful day
