Disgusting Food, Hygiene, Employees...

by Feltswim

I have nothing good to report on this establishment.

*Pies are made with artificial flavoring and not real fruit (watch out for mold on the bottom of the crust)

*Employees don't wash their hands after the restroom or before preparing food

*Do not ask for an extra wedge of tomato or you will be charged for a tomato salad (which consists of a single slim wedge of tomato on a bed of wilted iceberg lettuce)

*Cramped seating conditions (dried regurgitation on seats)

*Vast majority of customers and employees are incredibly obese (hint)

*Utensils are filthy with specks of brown crust (clean dishware is stacked on top of dirty rubber floor mats)

*Food quality is only suitable for the garbage disposal

*It appears as if anything that can be re-used or re-served is recycled to the customer

*Fresh pastries come from an off site bakery and are not fresh daily (note dead flies trapped in case)

*The beef ribs are reminiscent of old race horse

*The coleslaw dressing tastes like it was made by someone's unwashed feet

All in all, I'd say that you're more likely to enjoy a more nutritious and tasteful meal from an unflushed toilet bowl at a busy truck stop. I was forced to give this place one star.

  • Pros: NONE
  • Cons: Health Dept. should shut this place down

Ich habbe gelost eine fortz

by KandyBlevinsLIAR

The pastrami sandwiches only a Rumanian could love. Twelve dancing bears with tsitsis were a real improvement on the potato salad.

  • Pros: Best fehrtsles I ever made during a dinner
  • Cons: Waitress farted in my face

Pretty Freakin' Bad!

by seandugan

In a word: BAD. The food was mediocre, the "service" was spotty. I've never seen such a dumpy restaurant try to turn a table so fast when no one was waiting. Our waitress seemed in a hurry to get rid of us, brought us the wrong check., and never even asked to refill my coffee or water. We had to practically beg her to offer us dessert. This place hasn''t been updated decor-wise since about 1965. My BBQ chicken was okay at best, my wife's BBQ sliced pork was very, very dry. My apple pie was about the worst apple pie I've ever had. The coffee was okay. The Hickory Pit is apparently popular with people in their 80's which seemed to be the average age of everyone in the place. Must be next to a retirement home. Spend your money elsewhere; this place isn't worth your time. I'm amazed a restaurant this mediocre can stay in business. We will never go back.

  • Pros: None come to mind.
  • Cons: Food Service Ambience
