Last night, I had the misfortune of eating at The BurgerShack. What I had hoped to be a romantic anniversary dinner for my wife Gladys and I turned out to be a very disappointing dining experience.
I began to have my doubts the moment we walked inside. The dining room itself was clean, but the decoration was far too gaudy(花哨的) for my tastes. Multicolored images of clowns and large cartoon animals were stuck on almost every single wall. The tables were a bright lime green(橙绿). It certainly did not look like the romantic restaurant that I was hoping for, but I am not one to judge a book by its cover.
Glaudy and I stood for what seemed like an hour waiting to be seated, but not a single employee even glanced our way. Finally , we decided to just locate a table on our own. Although the restaurant was fairly crowded, we were able to find a table in the back. We took our seats and waited for a member of the staff to bring us menus.
An unbearable amount of time passed and there was still no sign of a waiter or waitress. Perhaps noticing our frustration, a customer sitting at the table next to us informed us that there were no waiters. Instead, we had to place our orders at the front of the restaurant and then bring our own food back to the table.
No waiters? Who came up with the idea? What is the purpose of dining out if you have to get up and serve yourself? I was about to storm out, but my wife calmed me down.
Eventually , Glaudy volunteered to get the food for us. Somehow, I did manage to eat six of the hamburgers, but the seventh proved far too greasy(油腻的) for my liking. The chocolate milk shake that they offered for dessert was acceptable, but the cup it came in was very small.
Overall, the BrugerShack's combination of dreadful decoration, nonexistence service, and disappointing food make it a place to avoid. I certainly hope we will find a better place to celebrate our 51st anniversary next year!
