Around lunch today, we had bidness to tend to in Downtown Dallas. No it wasn't a court hearing or visiting with the bond company, this was legit business. This time.
We have been here many times before. It is in Deep Ellem, and I probably would not want to be down here after dark. But during the day and the evening, ordinary people can slide into here and get fed with good grub. About 1/2 of the place is a watering hole, but there are provisions for us teetotalers. If I was a young single dude I would be hanging out here regularly. This place is full of hot and cold running young women.
We always order the Ranch Hand burger. Peppercorn Jack cheese, a peppercorn sauce, two strips of bacon, the normal fixin's and a good burger. This is a pretty good size burger. My only problem is it is not on the menu any longer. So you have to order off the menu. Now I am one of those guys that thinks the menu should show everything, there shouldn't be a secret code for the good stuff. If the internet junkie that trolls blogs about the joint knows about food selections, everyone should know about it. But I do know about the Ranch Hand and I really like it, so I am off the menu.
We also order something fried. This time fried onion strings, but they have good fried pickles, fried sweet potato chips, and I think fried green beans. The fried pickles are my second favorite after Razoos.
This is some above average fixin's for a burger joint. Of course a number of magazines have listed Twisted Root as one of the best, and Mitcho agrees.

Burger King on Town East in Mesquite - What else can go wrong!!!!!
So the wifey had a lunch scheduled with ole school teacher buddies. So I was left to lunch by myself. Normally, that could be dangerous, but I decided to go fast and cheap. So I did the Bachata down to Burger King on Town East Blvd in Mesquite. Big mistake.
As I walked up to the door to enter, they have the danger floor is wet signs out. My first thought was, it is ashame that all the lawsuits make businesses inform the public when the floor might be wet, when it has rained outside. However, when I got inside I look to the left and there is a pretty large flow of water from the ceiling. It hasn't rained in 2 or 3 hours, so if it had leaked that much for 3 hours there shouldn't be any water left. Their solution to the problem was a large trash can under the leak. So needless to say, the level of humidity in the restaurant was high.
Then I walk up to order and on the back of the register is a large note that they can't take credit cards. Now Mitcho wants his points from credit card charges. That is how I can afford to fly to other cities to review their restaurants. So I am not happy.
I have to wait a few minutes to order because the person is cleaning tables and that is more important than taking an order.
I finally order my burger, onion rings, and a drink. Of course I pay with cash (gritting my teeth). So the worker gives me a drink cup.
I go to the drink machine and the ice does not work. So I have to go back to the register and after a few minutes, the employee finally acknowledges me and goes to the drive thru machine and gets me ice.
I go back to the drink machine to find that the drink part does not work either. So oh boy, I get to go back to the register and get ignored again. Finally I get my Fanta Peach. Actually this is the reason I came here, because I like Fanta Peach. That won't be enough of a pull in the future.
After a few more minutes, my meal finally is ready. With fries!!!!!!! I ordered onion rings. Oh boy, I get to deal with the employee at the register again. She says, "oh yeah, you ordered fries". I am the only customer in the restaurant, how hard is it to look at the order to get it right???? So she fixed me some onion rings and off to a table to eat my meal with no problems for a couple of minutes.
So when I am through with my meal, I want to refill my drink. So I go back to the drink machine and there is a gentleman standing nearby. I thought he was waiting on his order (good luck with that). So I go by him to the drink machine. It still does not work. So back to the register to get help. When the employee finally comes I realize the gentleman is waiting on a drink also, so I have her get his drink first. He was there first. When she brings him his drink, she wheels around and goes back to filling orders. He comments that's what you get for being nice. So I wait till she fills about 3 orders and still ignores me. So I finally step up to the counter and basically block all transactions. So I finally get my refill of Fanta Peach. I really like Fanta Peach.
I gladly leave knowing this nightmare is over. Thanks to my blog being read by people all over the world (about 40 countries at this point), this bad experience is going to be worse for Burger King than me.
I giv'em a MINUS 9.
