Raymies

We had heard that Raymie's in the Ramada Inn is excellent, so we went there Saturday for lunch. The sign in front said "Under new management." We entered and examined the buffet. It was meager indeed. There were two entrees; some kind of pulled meat (pork? No BBQ sauce in sight) and some kind of chicken (?? boiled with a few vegetables.) The waitress came to our table and asked if we wanted to go to the buffet. We said that no, we would prefer to see a menu. She said "Oh, we don't have menus yet." So... It was the buffet. We both opted for the chicken. The chicken appeared to have been chopped into big chunks with a cleaver, as the truncated bones were in it. The legs were intact. We found the chicken just edible. The green beans were good, as were the mashed potatoes and gravy. My wife went to the salad bar, which was very, very sparse. No bread was offered. The waitress was friendly, but not particularly attentive. Someone sneezing loudly in the kitchen added to the horrible ambience, as did a pervasive smell throughout the restaurant. We will never darken those doors again.

We must have hit this place right after church let out because boy were we out of place. The food was decent but way over-priced. $15 a piece for a mediocre buffet. And if you aren't from the back woods of Oklahoma be prepared for awkward stares while you eat. I always tend to seek out local hole in the wall dives when traveling but this is one to skip.
