Kenny Rogers' Roasters Has Really Gone Down The Drain
Had lunch with dad at Kenny Rogers' Roasters in Robinson's Place today. We were looking for a good place to load up on something meaty, and since Burger King was under renovation (or completely ousted, I'm not really sure), we thought checking it out again would be nice.
It's probably been a good number of months since we'd eaten at Kenny Rogers'. The first thing we noticed was that the interiors now looked more manufactured and generic, as opposed to the homey brick-and-wood-country-cabin look it had before.
Then, they reduced the number of side-dishes. A number of my favorites, including the garlic mushrooms, were now gone. So for my part, I just had the garlic and cheese potatoes. Which was utterly tasteless. The Salisbury steak itself was unremarkable, and dad didn't like the ribs either.
Both of us missed the time when Kenny Rogers was all about great, mouth-watering chicken seasoned with herbs and roasted over fire. Now they've gone and cheapened their brand by trying to cater to the same crowd Jollibee does, sacrificing food quality. They've added fried chicken, sub sandwiches, and other crap. Truth is, I wouldn't have minded it much if they had just retained the quality, but they didn't.
For what we paid, we should have just eaten at Wendy's. Kenny Rogers' Roasters sucks.
