Guest Guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 A local eatery in the Endwell area, I won't say which one other than to say thier neighbor is a well known fried chicken place offered a 16 ounce, (1 lb.) 5 course prime rib special available only by mentioning the radio ad. Knowing that even Donolis doesn't offer thier 14-16 oz. boneless prime rib for $9.95 anymore our group of friends just had to try it out. Just to be sure we heard the ad right my wife called the eatery to double check that we had heard the ad right and we were reassured that it was indeed a 16 oz. 5 course meal. Okay, we figured possibly "bone-in" so the four of us went friday night to check it out. Now mind you, it's supposed to be a 16 oz. (1 Lb) 5 course meal. Evidently the eatery is immigrant owned. The wait staff appeared to be immigrant as well. "Course" 1 and 2 was bread and salad. The salad was excellent however not the dressing we had ordered. "Course 3 was the "16" oz. (1 lb.) prime rib which at best topped the scales at possibly 8 oz. (1/2 lb.) and probably much lighter than that because it was the lower grade, more "aged" type, not tightly packed but course. By the time we got the fat trimmed off we were figuring 6 oz. tops if that. Course 4 and 5 was the baked potato which was good and I had the "mixed" vegtables that was nothing more than peas and corn with a couple of slices of carrot. All in all, not a bad $6.00 meal but certainly not the "16" oz. (1 lb.) prime rib advertised on the radio. Your thoughts-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pelo Honey Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Since you're asking, I would avoid a "bargain" prime rib dinner, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thoughts-- Try the Deacon's Bench on Sat. they have a prime rib diner for I believe $10.95, I think it is. It used to be very good. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy the Kid Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Why complain about a place you ate if you aren't willing to name it? Go to Mc Donalds next time, I hear their prime rib is excellent! @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Primo Canera Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 The place was packed all day and there was no one there when I was there that was unhappy. The cut of prime rib was nice and tasty. quit being so negative. I have had good and bad mealsd everywhere.Maybe your taste buds are bad because your attitude sure is.

Now that would be something people could talk about. I'm sure she's at least half my age and I don't think my wife and daughter would have appreciated it. I don't think my father would have minded, but that's because he has my sick sense of humor. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Mc Donalds next time, I hear their prime rib is excellent! @ Yes! And their succulent Baby Back Ribs! It's currently on special. It's only a 4-course meal. Bread, pickles, ribs and onion. If you have enough rolls of toilet paper at home, it's an excellent value! @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Gees some people are NEVER happy. Sounds like a pretty nice meal for 10 bucks. You obviously dont own a business. This is like people who go to weddings/parties and get a free meal and proceed to complain and ask the wait staff to bring them all kinds of extras.....or like the embarassing auntie in the family who has the nerve to complain about the food when they come over for dinner, or like the morons who go to McDonalds and are picky....I heard one woman ask if her filet o fish was"fresh'! For gods sake it is freakin mcdonalds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Still the ad told these people that if they went to this place, they would get a sixteen ounce rib, five course meal for this special price. They could have traveled further to Apalachian to another place known for thier prime rib and got a real large size of prime rib for a couple more bucks. Instead, they were mislead into this place and they were served a piece of prime rib that was much less than offered. I agree, I would have felt gyped even if it was a good price. It was'nt what was advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Since when is a baked potato and veggies a "course" all on it's own? Sounds like you had a 2-course meal, salad/bread appetizer and the main plate meat/potato/veggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
