Unpatriotic????

If you have read any of my posts, you know I love to go out to eat.  Saturday, on the way home from visiting a niece who just got out of the hospital, we stopped at the Waterworks Shopping Center in Pittsburgh.  There is a fantastic burger place there called Burghatory.  When we went in we were told there was a 30 minute wait.  Right next door to Burghatory is Uncle Sam's Sandwich Bar.  There was no wait and they sold beer...NO BRAINER!!!!  The place looked pretty cool...sort of an urban chic.  We went up to the counter to place our orders and for about 5 minutes were completely ignored.  Just as I was about to head out the door, a waitress asked for our order.  Lucky us...she had a real attitude!  Not in the door 10 minutes and Uncle Sammy's is at strike two!!  Too hungry to go and wait someplace else all over again, we ordered and grabbed a table.  The TV flat-screens in the place were microscopic...it just kept getting better.  The tables and floor were kind of dirty to boot.  On the bright side the order came up quickly and the server was friendly.  The fries looked (and tasted) like the old potato sticks that you used to eat out of the can when you were a kid.  They were cold too!!  My Italian sub sandwich tasted terrible!!!!!!  I have eaten a ton of these sandwiches over the years and this was very close to being the worst.  My better half ordered a cheese steak and loved it.  She did get jacked by the fact that they charge you an additional half a buck for a drink refill (which you have to get yourself)! By this point I had lost count of the strikes and just wanted to get the heck out of there.  Sorry Uncle Sam, but I'm not feeling too patriotic about your subs.  Bottom line...no plans of ever patronizing the place again.  Live and learn!
