Western Ribeye & Ribs

I have never eaten here before and heard good things though.  But I heard from my aunt.  I believe my sandwich was the "Brown slab" named item, it was open-faced turkey (turkey roll it seemed from the skin).  It had an under-ripe tomato with melted simulated vinyl cheddar cheese.  No Sargento here folks.  It was gross.  Service progressed about as fast as evolution or plate tectonics.  The interior decorator of Western Ribeye's other projects probably included the set of Leave it to Beaver.  People who are not from Evansville will not like this place.

Ambiance: ceiling paint peeling over our table & garden lattice decor.  The salad bar was well stocked, but the shredded lettuce was odd.  Our lunches were served at a glacial pace.  The waitress was friendly - bless her heart she reminded me of my mom - and although I feel badly it was just so darn slow.  The death knell was the food.  

The marinated, grilled chicken breast for $11.99 was a disgrace.  The chicken breasts were small and rubbery and the marinade was horrible.  These must be packaged-in-plastic-opened-and-grilled marinated chickens.  I had bone jarring, undercooked bites of rice that appeared to have dehydrated tomato pieces in the undercooked rice, must be imitation Rice-a-Roni from GFS.  I notified the waitress that I was eating my colleague's fries (fries cooked in ancient oil?) because I crunched on uncooked rice and got an "oh really?"  Same bill, and by the way this place is NOT cheap for what you get.  No luck getting a 2nd disintegrating napkin I asked for.

Great place for an excellent steak or prime rib and a fantastic, fresh, clean, multi item salad bar.  We go there every year on our way to our annual Kentucky visit. Great food, great service, great dining experience.  We go in the spring and it's a very popular Pre-Prom night destination for the Kids in the area. They do everything right 5 stars.
