Onion Rings ($1.95) Fair - They had a thick, bread-like coating and were a bit heavy.

ENTREE:

Roast Beef Sandwich ($4.35) Good - Although there was plenty of roast beef , it was not rare enough and appeared to have been sitting too long on a steam tray. The portion size was excellent and the bread was fresh and flavorful. Served with a nice crunchy pickle!
