Prairie Kitchen

My husband and I just ate there for the first time and overall we’re giving it a three. Our waitress, Maddie, was very nice and very helpful. Also, the interior of the restaurant itself seemed clean and it was cutely decorated. My husband got the club sandwich with french fries and he said his sandwich had a good flavor. He wasn’t really pleased with the abundance of ham or the lack of abundance of ham, in his opinion, but he did say overall that he thought it had a good flavor. We both tasted the french fries and they were lukewarm and he felt like they had been under a heat lamp for a while. I got a smothered hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and pinto beans. My pinto beans were between a 3 1/2 and a four and had a decent flavor. Also, although the potatoes were instant potatoes, they really had a decent flavor to them too. However, my hamburger steak was so overcooked and tough that it not only didn’t taste good, but was relatively hard to chew. You could see the black around the edges and it seemed to be virtually the same color on the inside as it was on the outside. I did share this with our waitress and she was great about it and took it back to the cooks and asked them to make me another one. She also talked about how charcoaled it was around the edges, but handled it very well and got it back to me quickly. The second one was definitely cooked better, tasted fresher, and didn’t taste like it had been overcooked and sitting under a heat lamp for sometime. I don’t know if it had been sitting under a heat lamp, however it tasted like that to me and I sent it back. I don’t think I would ever order that again, even with the freshly cooked one, because it was so thin and just did not have a good flavor to it at all. Mine did have some Texas toast with it and it was good and I enjoyed eating that.
