A low class review of a high class establishment

Kickin' it old school

The problem with restaurant reviews is that they’re typically of ultra-ritzy bite sized portion type places. The kinds of places that if you’re rich enough to eat at, you’re likely busy enough to not waste time reading reviews anyways. So I propose bringing said reviews down to earth, way down.

Atmosphere, 6 of 10.

The addition of two big screen TV’s has really done wonders for an otherwise drab atmosphere. The only real issue with them is that they only play the Taco Bell channel, throwing a little ESPN on once in a while wouldn’t kill anyone. I would suggest using the drive through as it will improve the atmosphere considerably.

Service, 4 of 10.

Should I ever meet a Taco Bell employee who’s brain didn’t turn off the second I attempted to change my order in any way, I may marry them on the spot. The service was however redeemed when the cashier complimented me on my sweet airplane shirt. One thing to note about the previously mentioned drive through option is, while it may be more pleasant, will almost certainly result in a botched order.

Food, 5 of 10.

The food was edible, but the fire sauce, the hottest sauce available, hardly packs the punch its name might suggest. The rest of the menu on the other hand packs more punch then you might think; sadly it’s more of a kidney shot that has you doubling over in pain than a delicious knuckle burrito.

Overall impression, 5 of 10.

The food was tolerable, the service was average, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Not exactly enough to solidify itself as a mainstay on my fine dining list, but I’ll definitely keep it open as a place for a romantic first date, when I’m trying to avoid a second one.

  1. I believe you are mistaken with your plan to repell your date. I would actually be inclined to marry the lucky person who took me to such a fine establishment on our first date. In fact I'm going to add "make cashier ordained minister" to the TB Suggestion Box, so they will be able to officiate our vows on the spot.

  2. Sigh, you clearly have no idea that people rich enough to eat at those places are the only ones who read the reviews. Reading about things is almost as good as doing them. Case in point: its more fun to read your review about the bell, than eat there.
