I'll start with 2: 1) Did you have to tuck your polo into your khakis therefore exposing your beltless shorts? 2) Did you order any more starch for dessert after your au gratin potatoes and french fries? He's from Hazleton. Starch is life.

Pulled in to the lot and theres a kid standing in front of me wanting me to get out and give him my keys. The frick? I didnt plan on tipping a valet. Ive never valet parked before. I dont need nor want that service. I can park it myself. I was worried about what I would wear. Thought it might be pretty fancy. Saw a few people in t-shirts but most looked like they camr off a golf course in athletic polos, and a few had button downs. I had a golf polo and brought a pair of khaki shorts. Forgot a belt. Looked like a freaking bufoon. One area had marble tables. We went towards the back where there were actually white table cloths. They sat us next to their beautiful wine cabinet. Mrs HE and I ordered coke. Fanciest coke service ever. Came out in glass bottles which were set on our table, and then the waiter poured it in to our glass over ice. Which everyone knows makes the soda a little flat. But man was that a fancy thing to do with a bottle of coke. Coming out already in a glass would have been fine. Free refills would have been even better. I ordered crab au gratin , and subbed out the mixed veggies for fries. Mrs HE ordered a big filet. And begrudgingly did not ask for A-1. It was nice to do something different. But I go Texas Roadhouse over that meal 100/100. Food at the roadhouse is just better. After we were sat, my wife got a notification on her iphone (it knew where we were) and it recommended putting the phone on do not disturb mode in this place. WTF? She took a pic of her food (hers looked really, really good) and I was afraid they were gonna kick us out if they saw our phone. I felt way out of place. Valet had to settle for less tip. We only brought cash for the casnio not expecting valet and figuring we would tip the waiter on our card. We had to break our bills for the dinner to get some tip money. I gave 5. I feel like most people there probably gave more. I think he hates me now. But I wont be back to get bamboozled by him again. 18 hours later, and still, no one's asked. Pics of the wife's food?

Yes. The fact that I had no belt was visible. I also had old beat up underarmour sneakers on too. 2. No dessert.

Difference between your area and his is you're not far from normal civilization. His next civilization is a run down coal town where meth heads rent houses for $300/mo.

Yo, my family loves this joint and I’ve gone to it on my own plenty of times. Back in early covid they started doing take out family meals. The ribeye dinner is like $18 or something. The family ribeye dinner came with 3 of those steaks, two huge things of your sides, a large thing of salad, and 8 dinner rolls. All for like $42... basically the price of 2 regular ribeye meals but easily 3.5x the amount of total food you would get. Ate steak and potatoes and veggies and salad and roll for like 4-5 days

I cant tell because they all sit right outside of hazleton and match the description.
