Norman's 44 Restaurant

Same menus for years, greasy food, and building is in desperate need for a fresh look.  Great location if had some better good service

This is a truck-stop diner in the middle of nowhere, and is truly horrible.  Despite having windows, it somehow stays very dark and dank during all hours of the day.  

Everyone there except for us were truckers (which I guess is the point of a truck-stop), but being surrounded by people who were overtly unhappy the whole time doesn't help at all with my appetite.  

And the waitress didn't make things any better.  Even though she looked as if she had been a server in this establishment for several decades, she simply could not recommend a single dish (which gives you a hint of the food quality).  

We eventually settled on Steak Sandwiches, stereotyping trucker drivers as steak eaters and thus assuming that the steak would have to be passable.  

I guess "steak" in truck-speak means "chicken fried steak" because that is exactly what it was.  If you don't know what that means, it means they take a cooked steak, and then deep-fry it.  Not a good combination.  Then, to top off the sandwich, they add a ton of mayo, just in case the chicken fried steak isn't enough to kill you.  

Neither of us were able to finish our food, and still spent the rest of the day uncomfortably digesting.  

Stay away.
